Discussing the band's new material and upcoming album The Phantom Tomorrow (which is set for release in 2021), BVB frontman Andy Biersack told Kerrang! recently that their goal is to make a heavy rock record at its heart, and then build everything out from there.

“Over the years we got away from the heavy-riff-big-chorus dynamic, which is what makes Black Veil Brides,” he explained. “Our previous full-length record [2018’s Vale] was very soft, with a lot of shine to it, so the goal [this time] was to find a way to make it grand, with a lot of string elements and everything, but still feel like there’s an edge built from the riff.

“I don’t love the term ‘concept record’, but [The Phantom Tomorrow] is a concept record,” Andy continued. “There are themes and ideas and moments that are hugely different from one moment to the next, but the goal at the end of the day, the heart of everything, is to write a heavy rock record and build out everything from there, as opposed to writing a pop record and putting riffs over it.”
