We touched on that with the first record, but weren't as mature songwriters back then I don't think we've ever truly executed the sound we've wanted to have as a band. Regarding whether that was the band's aim from the start, Beirsack said: "More than anything, even before we found out that Bob was interested in doing it, we wanted to make a return to the darker, heavier material - in tone at least. It's a lot more heavy, traditional rock 'n' roll than anything we've done before." Through writing in advance, I feel like we've found our definitive sound. So heading into the studio, with twelve or fifteen songs that we feel strongly about, is a new experience. This has given us a chance to do something organic, to know the songs a lot better. "When you're doing stuff the way we were previously, it's very difficult to go back and adjust, because the elements are all built simultaneously. The idea is that if you write all together, you'll find great material, and know it from the ground up. If something came up that we liked, we'd try to cut a demo of it just from that. "I knew that the guys in my band are very talented musicians, but we've never taken the time to sit in a room facing each other, and continuously write for weeks on end - there was just a small mic in the middle of the room, and Bob would orchestrate us. Video footage from the "IV" listening party, which was held on September 2 in New York City, can be seen below.Īsked how BLACK VEIL BRIDES approached the writing process for the new CD, BLACK VEIL BRIDES singer Andy Biersack told U.K.'s Rock Sound: "One of the most interesting things about working with Bob Rock this time was that he requires weeks and weeks of pre-production, just writing and jamming together. Pre-orders for "Black Veil Brides" begin on September 16.
The album cover was designed by longtime friend and previous album cover illustrator Richard Villa and can be seen below. The single will be launching at radio in the U.S. The album opener and debut single "Heart Of Fire" is an upbeat rocker that showcases the band's singnature dual-guitar attack and driving rhythm section all behind a positiive lyrical message the band has become known for. The 11-track album features some of BLACK VEIL BRIDES' most aggressive and diverse songs to date. The follow-up to the band's third CD, last year's "Wretched And Divine: The Story Of The Wild Ones", was helmed by producer Bob Rock, whose resume includes albums by METALLICA, MÖTLEY CRÜE, THE CULT and many others. Los Angeles theatrical rockers BLACK VEIL BRIDES will release their new self-titled album, also known as "IV", on October 28.
