Black Veil Brides started in Cincinnati in 2006 and set up base in Hollywood, which suits a band that looks like it raided the dressing rooms of Kiss and Mötley Crüe and never gave anything back: black makeup, body paint, tight studded black clothes and long hair. They took the '80s glam playbook and wore it without a trace of irony, but the music underneath is heavier, melodic metalcore and hard rock welded to big, fist-in-the-air choruses.
Andy Biersack sings, Jake Pitts plays lead guitar, Jinxx handles guitar, violin and backing vocals, and Christian "CC" Coma drums. Ashley Purdy was part of the gang from 2009 to 2019, and Lonny Eagleton has played bass since.
Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones, from 2012, is their grand, torch-waving statement, with "In the End" as its anthem, and that same year brought a Kerrang! Award for Best Single. The Phantom Tomorrow followed in 2021 with "Scarlet Cross", proof the war paint never came off.
