Fresh off a successful tour with Babymetal, Black Veil Brides return with their first new release since their 2024 chart-topping single "Bleeders" titled "Hallelujah". The band consists of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma. On July 17th, the band has dived back into their hard-hitting roots with their powerful new track, "Hallelujah". Adding a unique dimension to the song, Tampa's One Voice Ensemble choir has contributed their vocals to the recording.
"'Hallelujah' is an important song for us, not only because it is the first track from the new record, but also as a signifier of what's to come for the band. On a narrative level, it represents the themes and ideas I am exploring lyrically on the album. I am fascinated by the current state of discourse and how often we seem to prioritize ideological certainty over the heart and soul of humanity. Over the years, we have developed a tremendous connection with our audience, which is often dismissed or misinterpreted by the 'scene.' We stand at a unique inflection point culturally and I want to be able to speak openly about how much I believe in being true to yourself over the fear of mass hysteria or in-group recriminations...When my grandfather's voice spoke to 'the outcasts' in the first moments of our first record in 2010, it was a sincere call to arms for all those who feel different. In many ways this record is the natural evolution of that same idea. This is the heaviest and most vitriolic BVB record by far but more importantly I believe it is the most sincere and honest record we have ever made."
-Andy Biersack (vocals)
To accompany the release of their new single, Black Veil Brides have unveiled an animated music video for Hallelujah, directed by Marco Pavone (known for his work with The Black Dahlia Murder, Pink Floyd, and Shadow of Intent). The band plans to roll out additional visual content in the coming months to support the track.
Black Veil Brides will hit the road in support of their new single, with the live debut of Hallelujah set for Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA, on July 26th. The band will also appear at several major festivals, including Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY on September 20th, Rock The Lock Festival in Umatilla, OR on September 26th and lastly Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA on October 5th. Following their U.S. appearances, they will be heading to South American for a run of six headlining shows.
