BLACK VEIL BRIDES are celebrating the release of their seventh studio album, "Vindicate". The album has been receiving critical and fan acclaim since it was released on May 8. Kerrang! recently stated that: "BLACK VEIL BRIDES have never sounded better" and Blabbermouth called the latest album "an exciting listen."
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. Singles — including "Bleeders", "Hallelujah", "Certainty", "Vindicate", "Revenger" (featuring MACHINE HEAD's Robb Flynn) and most-recently "Cut" (featuring Lilith Czar) — have already showcased the band's continued musical evolution while maintaining the theatrical intensity that has defined their sound. 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". The track "Sorrow" was just seen during the broadcast of UFC "Fight Night".
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 finalized. 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 previous full-length album, went to No. 1 on Billboard's Top Hard Rock Albums chart. Their "Bleeders" single — 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 canonized.
