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.
The album is now available for pre-order here: https://blackveilbrides.lnk.to/vindicatepreorder.
From the opening organ introduction and dramatic soliloquy of ‘Invocation To The Muse’ to the emotive finale of ‘Eschaton’, the band—vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma—deliver one of the most ambitious chapters of their career. Previously released singles, including ‘Bleeders‘, ‘Hallelujah‘ and ‘Certainty‘, have already showcased the band’s continued musical evolution while maintaining the theatrical intensity that has defined their sound.
“This record is rooted in the feelings of revenge and vindication. These are emotions that can either push us forward or hold us back. There’s a duality to them. They can fuel growth, drive ambition, and help us rise above what’s tried to break us, but they can also become destructive if we let them consume us,” explains Andy Biersack.
“Each song explores a different side of that struggle. Sometimes it’s about getting even with someone else, sometimes it’s about confronting ourselves and our past, our pain, or the things that were done to us. At its core, though, this album is about resilience.
It’s for anyone who’s ever had their dreams doubted or their fire challenged by people who couldn’t see their vision. We’re all born with that spark. The world will try to take that away at times, but this record is about holding onto it, fighting back, and turning those struggles into something powerful.”
The latest preview from the album arrives with the release of the title track, ‘Vindicate‘. Featuring a haunting calliope introduction that erupts into a driving wall of guitars and Biersack’s signature scream, the song captures the dramatic scale and power fans have come to expect from BLACK VEIL BRIDES. The track is now available across all digital service providers.

| 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. |
