Black Veil Brides have unveiled a new single, Revenger, featuring the mighty Machine Head.
The brilliantly heavy collab is taken from BVB’s upcoming album Vindicate – which is due out on May 8 via Spinefarm – and frontman Andy Biersack reveals, perhaps unsurprisingly, that it’s one of his favourites from the LP.
“I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice,” Andy begins. “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 favourite songs on the record.”
