BLACK VEIL BRIDES announce SEVENTH studio album VINDICATE available worldwide on MAY 8 via Spinefarm

(New York, NY) – 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: https://amzn.to/4sZkVEs

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.

The track listing for VINDICATE is:

1)     Invocation To The Muse

2)     Vindicate

3)     Certainty

4)     Bleeders

5)     Hallelujah

6)     Cut

7)     Alive

8)     Purgatory

9)     Revenger

10)  Sorrow

11)  Grace

12)  Ave Maria

13)  Woe & Pain

14)  Eschaton

In support of the new album, Black Veil Brides will embark on their first North American headline tour of 2026. The 24-city run kicks off April 25 in Riverside and concludes May 30 in Worcester. Along the way, the tour will make stops in Seattle (April 28), Houston (May 5), Detroit (May 17), and New York (May 28), among others.

So great live...

@classicmetalshow Do we think this is down to poor ticket sales/high ticket prices, has Gene fell out of favour for unpopular opinions he has voiced, is he just old news and people are just not interested anymore, or is there some other reason? Interested to know what people say.

Poison: This Meet-And-Greet Turn of Events Might Backfire On Classic Bands (2012)

The public clip barely scratches the surface of what actually goes down when the cameras stop rolling. We love the songs that defined an era, but what happens when meeting your rock 'n' roll idols completely ruins the magic? Fans seem deeply split over how much bad behavior we should tolerate just because someone wrote a few hits.

Did AC/DC Just Make The Most Corporate Move In Rock History? (2008)

AC/DC is finally back with a massive 15-track album and a stadium tour, but the way they’re selling it has left a lot of purists incredibly uncomfortable. By locking down an exclusive deal with Walmart, the world's biggest rock band might have just traded their gritty identity for corporate convenience. The guys break down whether this strategy is brilliant marketing or an absolute betrayal of the genre's roots.
