Black Veil Brides are an American rock band founded in Cincinnati in 2006, later based in Los Angeles. Led by vocalist Andy Biersack, the group blends heavy metal, glam and theatrical shock rock into a sound built on anthemic choruses and a striking gothic-glam image. Albums such as *Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones* (2013) and their seventh studio record *Vindicate* (2026) have cemented their standing in the international hard rock and metal scene.
Drummer Christian 'CC' Coma left the European tour on June 6, 2026 due to a personal matter; replacement Wade Murff (Godsmack) took his place for the remaining shows.
Black Veil Brides released their seventh studio album *Vindicate* on May 8, 2026 via Spinefarm Records.
The band announced a second North American tour leg (August-September 2026) in support of *Vindicate*, featuring Caskets and Archers as support.
In January 2026, Black Veil Brides announced a 24-city North American spring tour, with From Ashes to New, TX2 and As December Falls as support.
In July 2025, Black Veil Brides released the single 'Hallelujah', produced by Andy Biersack and Jake Pitts, as a preview of the new album.
