Black Veil Brides

Black Veil Brides is an American rock band formed in 2006 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Many people refer to them as emo, however, while they are certainly associated with emo culture, they are not technically an emo band.

The group is composed of Andrew Biersack (Who used to be known as Andy Six) (vocals), Lonny Eagleton (bass, backing vocals), Jake Pitts (lead guitar), Jinxx (guitar, violin, piano) and CC (drums). They are currently signed to the label Sumerian Records and plan to release a new record very soon.

Albums
Black Veil Brides signed in September 2009 with Standby Records. The writing process for a tour and a record began immediately. In December 2009, the band embarked on their first US tour entitled "On Leather Wings".

The debut album We Stitch These Wounds was released July 20, 2010 on the independent Standby Records label. It sold nearly 11,000 copies in its first week and reached #36 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and #1 on the Billboard Independent chart.

The band's second studio album, Set the World on Fire was released on June 14, 2011 by Lava Music/Universal Republic Records. The cover art was released in April.The title track from Set the World on Fire was planned for use in the movie Scream 4. At the news of the song not being used the band released a statement and an extended song preview. It was later announced on May 23 that the song will be featured in the Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie.

The band's 3rd album, Wretched And Divine, was released on January 8th, 2013, and was accompanied by a short film by the same name.

Shortly after, they released their Self-Titled 4th record on October 28, 2014

After that, the band took sort of a hiatus of sorts, and Andy recorded a record called "The Shadow Side" under the name Andy Black.

On January 12, 2018, the band released their 5th record, Vale. The last song on this record was called "This Is Where Is Ends" which lead many fans to think that the band was breaking up. Fortunately, that was not true, and In November 2019, the band announced that Ashley Purdy has left the band and that they have a new bassist, Lonny Eagleton, who had previously played bass for Andy Black, and they released an EP titled "The Night"

As of May 2021, their upcoming album, The Phantom Tomorrow, has had two singles released ("Scarlet Cross" and "Fields Of Bone" and is scheduled to release on October 29th, 2021.
