BLACK VEIL BRIDES
RELEASE REVENGER FEAT. MACHINE HEAD
FROM THEIR UPCOMING ALBUM VINDICATE
AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE ON MAY 8 VIA SPINEFARM
ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
With their seventh studio album VINDICATE available in two weeks, Black Veil Brides are back with a collaboration the metal world never saw coming.
Revenger featuring Machine Head is the latest song (the seventh if you are keeping score) from the Spinefarm debut out on May 8th. The track frames vengeance as fantasy and delusion, following a self-styled avenger convinced that retribution could deliver justice. Revenger featuring Machine Head further showcases the versatility of the band comprised of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma.
“I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to write lyrics from the perspective of someone who is trying to seek out the ultimate form of justice.
Because I was writing from someone else’s voice, this felt like the kind of song that would be best served by having someone else’s voice on the song. So, we brought in Robb Flynn of Machine Head. The reason he came to mind first was of course his voice, tonality and style I thought was perfect for this. He is also someone who was one of the first real defenders of Black Veil Brides. In the early days when we were getting absolutely shit on by every other metal band, Robb Flynn and Machine Head stood up for us and said positive things about us and has maintained that for years and years.
I think it’s one of my favorite songs on the record.”

The band recently made headlines when the track Woe & Pain from VINDICATE was used in the hype package between Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for Wrestlemania 42.
