Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides has been doing his press rounds over the past month in promotion of the band’s model new single, “Certainty,” off of the band’s upcoming album by way of Spinefarm Information that has but to be introduced, supposedly due out on the finish of this 12 months.
This time, Rock Sound‘s James Wilson-Taylor sat down with Biersack to prod a bit extra into the seemingly heavier path Black Veil Brides are heading.
“Yeah, I believe there’s sort of two issues [causing the shift],” Biersack begins [as transcribed by Blabbermouth], “One is clearly we have been round for some time and we have been making music collectively for a very long time. So, we have at all times been a band that we do not wish to make the identical file twice. And I believe we had gotten to a spot the place none of us have been actually all that excited in regards to the concept of creating a grand type of sing-along rock opera proper now.”
Black Veil Brides have been collectively since 2006, practically 20 years in the past, and have launched six studio information throughout that point. Biersack has additionally gone on to have solo pursuits of his personal like Andy Black.
“After which for me, creatively, that actually wasn’t the place my head was at when it comes to writing. So all the pieces, not less than on a story stage, was skewing way more, for lack of a greater time period, darker or severe or no matter. And so I believe the music simply type of — it was birthed from the identical perspective. We did not wanna make a file that was, ‘Hey, now we’re gonna make the heavy file.’
“What we’re attempting to construct right here and what my concepts are when it comes to the narrative, together with what [guitarist] Jake [Pitts] is writing from a musical perspective, was actually sort of going hand in hand with one another. And so I believe the file is heavy as a result of it needs to be for it to make sense with the narrative. And I additionally suppose it is a actually strong file within the perspective that we weren’t attempting to go, ‘Each music is the screamy music,’ ‘Each music is the’ no matter. When individuals hear the entire album, I believe that the heavy moments are purposeful and there are moments of what you may name extra conventional Black Veil Brides.”
In a roundabout manner, Biersack sums up: “However I’d say total the file is way more aggressive than earlier albums.”
The darker tone within the file is slightly obvious as Biersack says in an announcement alongside the discharge of “Certainty,” “The idea of “Certainty” is central to this file and seems all through the album. The music was impressed by the movie Conclave, significantly its reflections on spiritual certainty and the way inflexible perception techniques can grow to be prisons of our personal making. When certainty hardens, curiosity, development, and the willingness to alter grow to be not possible. A lot of immediately’s political and social discourse exists inside these echo chambers of absolute perception, and that stress drives the narrative of this file.”
