Angels has gone well over gold in Finland. It went straight to #1 on the Finnish album charts on its first week after release. Earlier 'Perfect Skin', the first single release from the album, entered also number one on the singles chart. The next single 'Never Say Die' was also for a long in the top 10 of the most played songs in the Finnish national radio airplay charts (#4, 16/2007). All 69 Eyes albums and the DVD Helsinki Vampires since 2000's Blessed Be have gone gold in Finland, Paris Kills and Devils also platinum.

Angels was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa and Johnny Lee Michaels - the same infamous team that brought you Devils. The first single pick from the album was 'Perfect Skin' - the video was directed by Ralf Strathmann and filmed in Hollywood in the mid October 2006. The commercial release of the single was January/February 2007. The additional tracks on the single are live versions of 'Devils', 'Christina Death' and 'I Just Want to Have Something To Do' (orig. by the RAMONES) recorded at Whisky a Go-Go in Hollywood in March 2006. The single is an Opendisc with a link to bonus material.

The second single is 'Never Say Die' - the video which includes a whole bunch of The 69 Eyes' Hollywood-inner-circle party people as well as MySpace's world famous sleaze queen Forbidden was also directed by Ralf Strathmann and filmed around L.A. in January 2007. You can watch the both videos on The 69 Eyes official MySpace! The commercially released single also includes a B-side 'Only Fools Don't Fall Once More'.
