BLACK VEIL BRIDES – VINDICATE – ALBUM REVIEW
Black Veil Brides return with their seventh studio album, ‘VINDICATE’!
That’s a headline that many critics and tormentors wouldn’t have predicated and for many bitter trolls one that they undoubtedly wish that they hadn’t just read.
Seeing their burgeoning career greeted by a barrage of abuse as rock music gatekeepers used the band for target practice, singer Andy Biersack has come accustomed to defending the band against the naysayers.
As if their continued growth into an arena act didn’t vindicate their career enough, on this new album the band again have the bit between their teeth, and they write about what Biersack admits could be considered an unhealthy fixation with vengeance.

This album explores the intense duality of a desire for revenge with the positive drive and negative stalling of the emotive subject in scope across the intense collection of classic sounding Black Veil Brides songs.
The pre-release singles gave good indicators that this would be a band on top form and with an album clearly crafted by passion and a real fire, fans will find it easy to find their own purpose from these tracks.
On ‘Alive’ you hear Biersack rage “…I’m alive and free of misery, you try to destroy me, but you know you’re not holy…”. This defiance etches itself into the album and is emblematic of how the band has naturally had to grow hardened shells.
The album has been a long time coming. ‘Bleeders’ was first released two years ago! But fans can now pick up this latest effort confident that the band firmly retain their rebelliousness and that as they continue their assent they will forever be vindicated.
