Black Veil Brides have shared their latest song “Revenger,” featuring guest vocals from Robb Flynn of Machine Head.
Revenger is taken from the band’s upcoming seventh studio album Vindicate, set for worldwide release on May 8. The project marks their first full-length since 2021’s The Phantom Tomorrow.
BVB frontman Andy Biersack shares of the song: “I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to write lyrics from the perspective of someone who is trying to seek out the ultimate form of justice. Because I was writing from someone else’s voice, this felt like the kind of song that would be best served by having someone else’s voice on the song. So, we brought in Robb Flynn of Machine Head.” See the visualizer for ‘Revenger’ – HERE.
Fans have already had a taste of what’s to come through previously released singles “Bleeders,” “Hallelujah,“Certainty,” and the title track “Vindicate” — which dropped alongside a NSFW music video directed by George Gallardo Kattah. See the video for Vindicate: HERE.
Speaking on the album’s themes, Biersack explained, “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.”
Black Veil Brides are currently on the road with their 24-date North American headlining tour, which features support from TX2, From Ashes To New, and As December Falls.
