Black Veil Brides

+ support from: Saint AgnesBefore the birth of the BVB Army, the countless fan tattoos, and the gold and platinum records that followed, Black Veil Brides was simply a dark vision dreamed up by an only child in Cincinnati, Ohio. Andy Biersack grew up obsessed with monsters, real and imagined, and with Batman, KISS, the Misfits, and The Phantom of the Opera. The evocative iconography of religion and complex feelings about his Catholic heritage fueled explorations of the arcane, primal, and often destructive allure of belief. Sworn to a life of purpose through expression and convinced of the power of the outcast, Andy weaponized his fears and fascinations, culminating in the“birth” and ascension of Black Veil Brides. Guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, drummer Christian Coma, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and Biersack celebrated several milestones in recent years, including massive shows in London and Mexico City. “Bleeders” was a Top 10 hit at Active Rock radio and a several-month-long mainstay on YouTube’s Hard Rock & Metal chart (which tracks both current and catalog music videos) in 2024 and 2025. The group’s cinematic scope and unwavering commitment to self-expression strike a familiar chord with fellow “bleeders” who seek refuge (and revenge) in the power of dark themes and imagination.
