BLACK VEIL BRIDES are ushering in the new year with the release of their dynamic and emotionally charged anthem, ‘Certainty‘, delivered with a powerful music video.
Comprised of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma,
The single will appear on the band’s upcoming album – due for release via Spinefarm later this year – and is available now on all digital service providers here: https://blackveilbrides.lnk.to/Certainty.
“The concept of ‘Certainty’ is central to this record and appears throughout the album,” explains Biersack. “The song was inspired by the film Conclave, particularly its reflections on religious certainty and how rigid belief systems can become prisons of our own making. When certainty hardens, curiosity, growth, and the willingness to change become impossible. Much of today’s political and social discourse exists inside these echo chambers of absolute belief, and that tension drives the narrative of this record.”
To coincide with the release, BLACK VEIL BRIDES have unveiled a striking new music video for ‘Certainty,’ directed by George Gallardo Kattah (Chelsea Wolfe, Maneskin) and filmed while the band was on tour in Colombia. Featuring stunning cinematography and an intensity reminiscent of an A24 motion picture, the video mirrors the song’s themes. Further, it exemplifies the bold visual identity BLACK VEIL BRIDES have cultivated throughout their career.
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 last 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‘.
