BLACK VEIL BRIDES have confirmed the release of their seventh studio album "Vindicate", set to arrive on May 8 via Spinefarm Records. The 14-track collection explores themes of revenge and vindication, delving into what the band describes as "the duality that can fuel growth or become destructive."
The album has been preceded by a steady rollout of singles, with "Vindicate" serving as the fourth taste following "Bleeders", "Hallelujah", and "Certainty". Each single has showcased a different facet of the record's sonic palette, from aggressive metalcore-tinged anthems to more atmospheric, melodically driven compositions.
To support the release, BLACK VEIL BRIDES will embark on a North American tour running from April 25 in Riverside, California through May 30 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Support comes from From Ashes to New, TX2, and As December Falls, creating a diverse bill that spans the modern hard rock and metalcore spectrum.
Frontman Andy Biersack and his bandmates have spent over 15 years building one of the most dedicated fanbases in modern rock, and "Vindicate" appears to represent a mature evolution of their sound. The lyrical themes suggest a band reflecting on the cycles of conflict and resolution that define both personal relationships and the music industry itself.
With 14 tracks, "Vindicate" is among the most substantial BVB releases to date, suggesting the band had no shortage of material during the writing process. Pre-orders are available now, with various bundles including exclusive merchandise and signed items available through the band's official store.
