Metal Anarchy

Black Veil Brides have premiered a new song titled “Revenger.” The track, which features Machine Head’s Robb Flynn, is from the band’s new album “Vindicate,” which will be released on May 8.

Frontman Andy Biersack commented:

“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.”

Notably, Biersack has also released a new book based on “Revenger.” Here’s a synopsis:

“Known only as The Revenger, he punishes the unforgivable and dismantles a sprawling criminal empire known as The Syndicate. But as he descends deeper into his crusade, The Revenger uncovers a web of betrayal that ties directly into his own fractured past.

Blending the brooding aesthetic of classic noir with the visceral intensity of horror and revenge thrillers, Revenger interrogates guilt, corruption, and the thin line between hero and monster. This chilling, relentless tale announces a bold new voice in Horror Noir—a book destined to captivate fans of vengeance-driven stories and cinematic darkness.”
