Andy Biersack spills the beans on the band's forthcoming sonic onslaught at Louder Than Life.

Metalheads, buckle up! At the raucous Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky, BLACK VEIL BRIDES' frontman Andy Biersack confirmed to Rock Sound that the band is gearing up to unleash new music, soon to follow their seventh studio effort, 'Vindicate', which hit the airwaves this past May via Spinefarm.

Biersack revealed in a candid chat, transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET, that he and guitarist Jake Pitts are already 75% deep into the writing process for their next record. "We've got some new material recorded, some new stuff," he declared, underscoring the urgency to avoid another lengthy hiatus between albums. "We don’t want another five-year break between records, I think." A testament to their relentless work ethic, the band is hungry to deliver more of the heavy metal magic their fans crave.

Reflecting on the agonizing five-year wait for the follow-up to 2021's 'The Phantom Tomorrow', Andy laid bare his creative struggles. "I had a whole different thing I wanted to do. It was about a year of writing on a more broad concept record that I was uninspired by," he confessed to PopHorror. The quest for artistic excellence reigned supreme, as he emphasized the importance of producing work that resonates with both the band and their die-hard fans.

With 'Vindicate' already garnering critical acclaim, Kerrang! raved that "BLACK VEIL BRIDES have never sounded better," while Blabbermouth lauded the latest album as an "exciting listen." It's clear that BLACK VEIL BRIDES is not just a band but a force of nature—an embodiment of hard rock tradition fused with a rebellious spirit that rips apart the confines of the genre.

The lineup remains a powerhouse, featuring the raw talents of guitarist Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma, all contributing to the band's iconic sound. BLACK VEIL BRIDES stands tall as a postmodern heavy metal institution, a gothic vision born from the mind of a kid entranced by darkness, theatricality, and a love for the macabre. As they prepare to unleash their next chapter, one thing is certain: the world is ready for the cathartic anthems only BLACK VEIL BRIDES can deliver.
