Black Veil Brides have announced the details of their new full-length album, their first since 2021’s ‘The Phantom Tomorrow’.

The album will be called ‘Vindicate’ and will be released on May 08 via Spinefarm Records. It was produced by the band’s own Jake Pitts and Andy Biersack and mixed by the one and only Zakk Cervini.

Andy had this to say about what the album represents, explaining, “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 artwork looks like this:

Whilst the full tracklisting is more like this:

To go along with the announcement, and joining ‘Certainty’, ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Bleeders’ as being out in the world, the band have also shared the title track.

From the calliope introduction to the driving riffs and metalcore hooks, all held together by a sensational classic-rock chorus, it is a savage addition to the album.

It’s wicked, wild and wonderfully over the top. Everything you could ever want from the band.
