Black Veil Brides unleash new single and video, Certainty

Black Veil Brides have just dropped a heavy new single, Certainty, and stunning accompanying video.

This surprise new effort is taken from the band’s planned 2026 full-length, and frontman Andy Biersack shares that, “The concept of Certainty is central to this record and appears throughout the album. The song was inspired by the film Conclave, particularly its reflections on religious certainty and how rigid belief systems can become prisons of our own making. When certainty hardens, curiosity, growth and the willingness to change become impossible. Much of today’s political and social discourse exists inside these echo chambers of absolute belief, and that tension drives the narrative of this record.”

The vocalist continues: “This was the final song written and recorded for the album. It started from an idea Jake [Pitts, guitar] sent over, and it came together quickly over the course of a few days. It felt essential both narratively and musically, capturing the overall tone of what we’re aiming for.

“The music video, directed by George Gallardo Kattah and his team in Bogotá, Colombia, is one of our favourites we’ve ever done. His interpretation of fear and pride as biblical twins is stunning, and the visuals are incredible.”

They are indeed – watch it below:
