DANIEL LIONEYE: New Song Available For Streaming

March 9, 2010

"I Have Never Wanted To Be Number One", a brand new track from DANIEL LIONEYE — the Finnish band featuring HIM members Mikko "Linde" Lindström on guitar, bass and vocals and Janne "Burton" Puurtinen on keyboards alongside Black Vomit Bolton (ENOCHIAN CRESCENT) on drums — is available for streaming on the group's MySpace page. The song comes off DANIEL LIONEYE's new album, "Vol. II", which is scheduled for release in North America on April 27 via The End Records.

Commented Linde: ""This is no doubt the most accessible song on the album and believe it or not it was written about five years ago. It was meant to be an acoustic ballad but this album is not about acoustic ballads so we started to fuck around with it. At first I thought that it sticks out a bit too much from the rest of the stuff and wasn't sure if I should include it. It sounded too serious and stiff to me. Then Burton came in with his '80s keys and we added the blast beat part in the end and it changed my mind. Lyrically, I guess it is about moving on. But it kind of raises more questions than gives answers and I like to keep it that way."

Formed in 2001, DANIEL LIONEYE's debut album, "The King Of Rock 'N' Roll", was only released in Finland and Germany and was a tongue-in-cheek. psychedelic stoner rock LP. The group supported the effort by playing a handful of festivals in Finland, which resulted in the CD's title track being used as the theme song for Bam Margera's TV show, "Viva La Bam".

According to a press release, "Vol. II" is heavier than the band's previous CD and is being described as "an extreme rock n' roll album with influences from black metal."

01. Euroshaman
02. Flatlined
03. Saturnalia
04. Neolithic Way
05. I Saw Myself
