Mounting a slow build fueled by a succession of effective singles with "Bleeders," "Hallelujah" and the anthemic "Certainly," Black Veil Brides have announced their eagerly-awaited next chapter with the confirmation of their seventh full length album, Vindicate. The album arrives May 8th via Spinefarm and coincides with the band's first North American tour stretch of 2026.
Black Veil Brides architect Andy Biersack offered first-person insight on the album's thematic direction and detailed how each song reemphasizes the intention poured into the record.
"This record is rooted in the feelings of revenge and vindication. These are emotions that can either push us forward or hold us back. There’s a duality to them. They can fuel growth, drive ambition, and help us rise above what’s tried to break us, but they can also become destructive if we let them consume us.
Each song explores a different side of that struggle. Sometimes it’s about getting even with someone else, sometimes it’s about confronting ourselves and our past, our pain, or the things that were done to us. At its core, though, this album is about resilience.
"It's for anyone who's ever had their dreams doubted or their fire challenged by people who couldn’t see their vision. We're all born with that spark. The world will try to take that away at times, but this record is about holding onto it, fighting back, and turning those struggles into something powerful."
Realigning with director George Gallardo Kattah, who also helmed the cinematic visual for "Certainly," Biersack and Kattah craft another stunning visual for the album's title track. The NSFW clip underscores the totality of Black Veil Brides' modern era and sets an impressive precedent for what's to come.
Riding out in support of the band's newest full length, Black Veil Brides begin their 2026 touring campaign next month with an extensive North American run. The tour is supported by From Ashes to New, TX2 and As December Falls and begins April 25th in Southern California and closes out May 30th in Worcester, MA with a finale at the Palladium. The tour will also include a pair of festival appearances with Black Veil Brides making stops at both Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple this spring.
