BLACK VEIL BRIDES' ANDY BIERSACK On New Single 'Hallelujah': 'This Is Not A Religious Song'

In a new interview with Cutter's Rockcast, BLACK VEIL BRIDES vocalist Andy Biersack spoke about the band's recently released single "Hallelujah". The Tampa, Florida-based choir One Voice Ensemble lent its talents to the song, which was produced by Biersack and guitarist Jake Pitts and was issued via BLACK VEIL BRIDES' label partners Spinefarm. Regarding the lyrical inspiration for "Hallelujah", Biersack said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I grew up Catholic, and it plays into a lot of my lyrics and always has. I'm not practicing, but anytime you grow up in any kind of religious situation, the good and bad filters its way in. And I went to Catholic school, and I got the negative side of it, and then I had family members who were practicing it, and it was a very positive thing in their life. And so in some ways I can't help but have it find its way into the things I write."

He continued: "This is not a religious song, but the content is such that I sort of see the way things are going culturally where it almost has this sort of religious zealot nature to it where things, whether it's ideological conversations or whatever else, sort of always come from the perspective that it's a deeply held belief and you can't possibly have any pivot points on it."

Biersack also talked about BLACK VEIL BRIDES' upcoming follow-up to their sixth album, "The Phantom Tomorrow", which came out in October 2021. He said: "I've done a lot of concept records over the years, and this one is more of, I guess I would call it a theme record in that there's not an overarching narrative that's being told. It's not a dystopian world with a superhero character or whatever. I'm looking at it from the perspective of various stories about the idea of revenge and kind of having that chip on your shoulder and the ways that that manifests. And so the track listing and the record itself goes through different versions of that experience and in some ways talks about the futility of feeling that way constantly. But it's just the truth of my life.

"Since I was 16 years old and I started the band, I've always been somebody who's been a little bit of an underdog," he explained. "We've never been the darlings of any scene. And you need only type our name into the Internet to see people who have decided that we're the worst thing that ever happened to music, or inversely the greatest thing, and that sort of battle in that duality is something that has always had a part in what we do. I have the word 'revenge' on my shoulder. It's the sort of literal monkey on my back that I carry around. And so tonally this record is about those ideas and whether it's viewing the sort of insanity of sort of groupthink, whether it's viewing the betrayal of a friend, the anger that you have towards people who don't believe in you, on and on and on, all those kind of ideas and the ways that they manifest are how I have shaped this record lyrically."

When "Hallelujah" was first released in July, Biersack said in a statement: "'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."

BLACK VEIL BRIDES released an animated video for "Hallelujah", directed by Marco Pavone (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, PINK FLOYD, SHADOW OF INTENT). The band will continue to release more visual content over the coming months to support the new songs.

BLACK VEIL BRIDES will make appearances at Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky (September 20),Rock The Locks in Umatilla, Oregon (September 26) and Aftershock (October 5) before heading to South America for six headline shows. The "We Missed Ourselves Tour 2025" will also feature UNDEROATH, SILVERSTEIN, SENSES FAIL and I SET MY FRIENDS ON FIRE.

In a recent interview with Brandy-Baye Robidoux of Idobi Radio, Biersack confirmed that he and his BLACK VEIL BRIDES bandmates have been working on their seventh album. He said: "We finished a new record. At this point, one song is fully mixed. So it's very early. But we produced the record ourselves — myself and Jake were kind of at the helm in that — and it was the first time doing a self-produced record in that way, at least of original material. We had done re-records or things before, but this was the first time that we… It was also devoid of many outside voices."

Elaborating on BLACK VEIL BRIDES' decision to not work with an outside producer this time around, Andy said: "For a lot of years, you get to a place where you start… Your first record, you write the record together, and then you record it and then it's out there. And then you have a level of popularity, if you're lucky, and then people go, 'You know what? We should put you with this producer.' And then that producer has a way of doing things, and then you work with the next producer and they have a way of doing things. And then the more and more you work with different people, the more injection of their style becomes a part of what you do. And that's actually been really beneficial for us, because working with [producer] John [Feldy] Feldmann for so many years really created, for me, vocally how I am now. My voice, there's a definite line where you go, 'Oh, this person became a much better singer,' and I credit that all to Feldy and basically him teaching me how to use my own voice. Working with Erik Ron, working with Bob Rock, we've had a lot of luck with our producers, but we had never, in our whole career, back since the very beginning, had an opportunity to go, 'We kind of know what this band is,' and 'What would a record be like if we made it and tried to use our best judgment?' We didn't wanna go in there just celebrating ourselves. I think sometimes that's the thing that happens when bands produce their own record. They're, like, 'Everything we do is great.' We were very hard on ourselves to make sure that it was the best thing that we could do, and I'm really excited about how it's turning out."

Biersack went on to credit Feldmann and Ron with helping him develop the skills in the studio to oversee a BLACK VEIL BRIDES recording from beginning to end. "I wouldn't know how any of this stuff functions without particularly those two," he said. "Jake and I have always said we learned how to be people in a studio from John Feldmann. And then that carried over to where when we started working with Erik, who also had worked with Feldmann as an engineer in his early career, we come from that same school. And so I think in a lot of ways we brought that same sort of means of production to our record. It's just that we were doing it on our own. But it really comes from that for us."

Asked if it was "more challenging or easier" to produce the new album themselves, Andy said: "I would say it was a little bit more challenging in the capacity that you've gotta make sure that you get it right. I would say the easier thing is for me vocally, sometimes — and I guess this will be determined by how people hear it — but sometimes when you're singing, if you're working with a producer who is also a singer, they have a way that they want to hear something. So if I go, 'This melody goes this way,' and they go, 'Oh, this melody should go this way.' And then you're, like, 'Oh,' and that's unnatural. I always say, like, there's certain times when I can hear on records where I would've wanted it to be pushed this certain way, and then somebody else wanted it to go this other way, and then I just end up sounding like I don't know what I'm saying in the song. With this, it's just the way I want it, for better or for worse. So we'll find out whether that was the right way or not. We'll find out. We'll see if people like it."

Regarding whether BLACK VEIL BRIDES is "pulling from any unexpected influences" this time around, Andy said: "Well, I think we have a total lack of interest in any commercial crossover. We've been in the major label system for most of our career, where even though we were a band with a lot of shreddy guitars and I'm writing about theological ideas, they're, like, 'But where's the single?' And so you'd always kind of have to temper that with, 'We've gotta make sure that there's a single.' And what we have found, and thankfully working with Spinefarm now, 'Bleeders' was not a song that was made to be a hit. And yet it was a song that, because the label believed in it, did really well at radio and traditional places. So we want to be able to make songs that are enjoyable and that people at radio wanna play — we sincerely want that — but we are not in a position now where we're going to the studio going, like, 'Okay, but we've gotta make sure that we have the song that it's cool for the executives' kind of thing, which is kind of something that we had been bogged down by for a lot of years… And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. In some cases, you make a concept record that's an hour and a half long, but you happen to have a song that is a platinum single on it. People are, like, 'All right, fine. You could do weird stuff.' If you do that same thing and then you don't have that platinum single, yeah…. And we've seen both sides of that. So, at this point I feel like the best bet is just to make the coolest thing we can make as opposed to trying to go, 'I hope we've got that big hit on there,' 'cause you can't prescribe those things."

In May 2024, BLACK VEIL BRIDES released the title track from their "Bleeders" EP, inspired by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's "Sweeney Todd". The band paid tribute to the classic musical with a music video for the title track that is inspired by the musical's 2007 Tim Burton-directed film adaptation.

Released in June 2024, the three-track EP, which included "Bleeders", a cover of "My Friends" from the Sondheim classic, and a cover of U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday", was BLACK VEIL BRIDES' first release for Spinefarm.
