Official press release:
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 May 8 via Spinefarm.
The album is now available for pre-order HERE.
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 — delivers 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.
Frontman Andy Biersack explains:
“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.
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.
