With their seventh studio album, VINDICATE, available in two weeks, BLACK VEIL BRIDES are back with a collaboration the metal world never saw coming.
‘Revenger‘ featuring Machine Head is the latest song (the seventh if you are keeping score) from the Spinefarm debut out on 8th May. The track frames vengeance as fantasy and delusion, following a self-styled avenger convinced that retribution could deliver justice. ‘Revenger‘ featuring Machine Head further showcases the versatility of the band comprised of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma.
“I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to write lyrics from the perspective of someone who is trying to seek out the ultimate form of justice.
Because I was writing from someone else’s voice, this felt like the kind of song that would be best served by having someone else’s voice on the song. So, we brought in Robb Flynn of Machine Head. The reason he came to mind first was of course his voice, tonality and style I thought was perfect for this. He is also someone who was one of the first real defenders of BLACK VEIL BRIDES. In the early days when we were getting absolutely shit on by every other metal band, Robb Flynn and Machine Head stood up for us and said positive things about us and has maintained that for years and years. I think it’s one of my favorite songs on the record.”
The band recently made headlines when the track ‘Woe & Pain’ from VINDICATE was used in the hype package between Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for Wrestlemania 42.
| With anticipation building at every turn, BLACK VEIL BRIDES have announced their highly anticipated seventh studio album, VINDICATE. The record will be released worldwide on 8th May via Spinefarm. From the opening organ introduction and dramatic soliloquy of ‘Invocation To The Muse’, to the emotive finale of ‘Eschaton’, the band deliver one of the most ambitious chapters of their career. Previously released singles including ‘Bleeders’, ‘Hallelujah’, ‘Certainty’ and ‘Vindicate’ have already showcased the band’s continued musical evolution while maintaining the theatrical intensity that has defined their sound.

| Like their band name suggests, BLACK VEIL BRIDES evoke transcendent visions of an impenetrable hereafter, intermingling with a steely focus on the dark passions and elusive mysteries of the here and now. A romantic fantasy first summoned in a small town by founder Andy Biersack – a creative who was fascinated with death rock, theatricality, and monsters (both real and imagined). It wasn’t until moving to Los Angeles that the unstoppable force the band is currently became finalised. The band (and its members Andy Biersack, Jake Pitts, Jinxx, Lonny Eagleton, Christian Coma) Instagram and Twitter accounts command close to 12 million followers between them. The Phantom Tomorrow, the group’s last full-length album, went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart. Their single, ‘Bleeders’ – through their new label home Spinefarm – propelled them to the top of the Active Rock radio charts. In the hearts and minds of their fans, the band represents an unwillingness to compromise and a resistance to critics (personal and professional), fueled by the same fire as the group’s own heroes, the iconoclasts whose creative output, once dismissed, is now canonised. Now, after 15 years of leading the BVB Army, the next phase of BLACK VEIL BRIDES begins with a joyful ‘Hallelujah’ and a definite sense of ‘Certainty’ when VINDICATE is released on 8th May. |
