Black Veil Brides at Marquee Theatre

Before the birth of the BVB Army, the thousands of lyric tattoos, and the gold and platinum records that followed, Black Veil Brides was simply a dark vision dreamt up by an only child in Ohio.

He loved Batman and KISS. Then, the striking visage of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, on the cover of his dad’s dusty CD (released a dozen years before he was born) kicked open the door for Andy Biersack. Sweeney Todd cleared the way for The Phantom of the Opera, Misfits, and all that followed, culminating in the birth of Andy Black and the ascension of Black Veil Brides.

The Bleeders EP, Black Veil Brides’ inaugural release in a new partnership with Spinefarm Records, celebrates one of the singer’s first loves. The EP boasts the title track alongside a loving rendition of Sweeney Todd’s “My Friends” and a faithful cover of U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday.”

The group’s cinematic scope and unwavering commitment to self-expression strikes a familiar chord with their fellow “bleeders” who seek refuge (and revenge) in the power of the dark and imagination.

There are over 160 million views of “Knives and Pens,” an early demo committed to music video before Andy (who moved to Hollywood at 18 and lived in his car) met his band of brothers. The RIAA-certified platinum single “In the End,” itself close to 170M views, further proves the group whose merch dominated Hot Topic before they’d even made their debut album was built to last.

A treacherous DIY headlining outing in 2009 paved the way for the next 15 years of performances and beyond, a history that includes the triple-co-headlining smash Trinity Of Terror Tour; multiple mainstage runs on Vans Warped Tour; treks supporting Avenged Sevenfold and Mötley Crüe; and just about every major rock and metal festival in North and South America, Europe, and Australia.

Guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx joined the fold before the creation of BVB’s debut album, 2010’s We Stitch These Wounds. The duo played in an earlier band with drummer Christian Coma, who came aboard for their first Billboard Top 20 album, Set the World on Fire, featuring gold single “Fallen Angels.” Metalcore milestone Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones followed in 2013.

A no-frills fourth album, 2014’s Black Veil Brides, gave them another Top 10 debut. 2018’s Vale went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock chart. 2021’s The Phantom Tomorrow, the band’s first album with bassist Lonny Eagleton, produced the No. 8 Rock single “Scarlet Cross,” their highest charting yet.

Bleeders offers a taste of what will become Black Veil Brides’ most visceral, theatrical, and unrelenting era yet. They combine a unique identity with an unquenchable creative thirst. They’re an object of devotion for those who sing their anthems in unison, a diverse BVB Army who never surrenders.

Black Veil Brides and their audience slash away at the darkness together, bleeders one and all.

GHØSTKID emerges in 2024 as an entity untamed, unfiltered, and resonating with the haunting echoes of raw, unapologetic music. Formed from the depths of Sebastian “Sushi” Biesler’s unyielding creative spirit, the band boldly ventures into new realms of expression, weaving a tapestry of darkness, aggression, and unflinching honesty. GHØSTKID prepares to unleash their forthcoming album in early 2024!

Joined by an assembly of kindred spirits and musical conspirators – Jappo Van Glory (guitar), Chris Canterbury (guitar), Stanislaw Czywil (bass) and Steve Joakim (drums) – GHØSTKID’s journey unfolded, amplifying the convergence of metal, industrial, goth and pop. From the ferocious intensity of “HEAVY RAIN” to the emotive depths of “VALERIE” each track embodies a visceral narrative, weaving tales of anguish, passion, and unrelenting determination. The band’s upcoming opus delves fearlessly into the dark recesses of the human psyche confronting the gritty truths of life, love, and the raw essence of being.

Prepare to be engulfed in a cacophony of unbridled ambition and unfiltered emotion. GHØSTKID transcends mere auditory experience; it’s a visceral, transformative journey – a convergence of haunting melodies and unapologetic aggression, echoing in the corridors of your soul long after the music fades.

Hailing from Orlando, FL this Hard Rock act shows us a side of darkness that brings a sentiment of anguish mixed with a sincere notion of understanding. The band’s new single “Paper Crown (feat. Bryan Kuznitz of Fame On Fire,)” premiered on Octane is the newest release of the band’s growing discography. “Dancing Dead” and “Drown” are hair-raising tracks, immersing fans in a fear-stricken world. Conceptual ideology aside, the band brings hard hitting instrumentation and a vocal power that stands to cement the act as a fresh mainstay of the hard rock and metal genres for years to come. “The confines of Florida have seen some absolutely epic bands make names for themselves, but it’s time to look to the future. There is a quickly rising band that is making all the right moves in all the right places.” Says New Noise about the band. They have recently shared the stage with Famous Last Words, Limbs, Until I Wake and The Word Alive. Fans can catch the band supporting Black Veil Brides & VV this fall. “Dark Divine is new to the scene but garnering a lot of attention quickly and rightfully so. They are hands down one of the best young bands out there, and we are certain the BVB Army and VV fans will love them.” Andy Biersack / Black Veil Brides frontman says regarding their upcoming tour. Dark Divine’s debut ‘Deadly Fun’, produced by Zach Jones (Chelsea Grin, We Came As Romans, Fit For A King) out now via Thriller Records.
