Black Veil Brides Singer Andy Biersack on Concept Albums, His Fans + Politics

7. prosince 2012 v 13:10 | Margie |  Andy other


On Jan. 8, Black Veil Brides will release their highly anticipated third album, a rock opera entitled Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones. As well, a film called Legion of the Black is being released in several weeks. It tells the visual story of the concept presented in the album. The film follows "a group of rebels known as "The Wild Ones" as they defend their hearts, minds and bodies against F.E.A.R."

Further proving that early 2013 will be hectic for the Los Angeles-based group, Black Veil Brides will also embark on 'The Church of the Wild Ones North American Tour' from January till March.

Noisecreep recently spoke with Black Veil Brides lead singer Andy Biersack about Wretched and Divine, the group's hardcore fans and his thoughts on the recent American presidential election.



Andy, this has time for the band been a long time in the making. How do you feel now that you're on the heels of what seems like the band's biggest release to date?

Excited - the only word is excited, honestly. This my favorite thing I've ever done artistically and I can't wait for people to hear the amount of work that's gone into this. It was not an easy task doing a project on this scale - it's different building this kind of story, a really a tough thing to do, and I've actually been inspired just by watching the rest of the band and everyone else relate to this. Just a huge effort by everyone, all working together.

Did you like concept albums as a kid?

I remember growing up how everybody hated concept albums, that's at least from my era of growing up. They were usually considered sort of goofy. But then, all of a sudden, you had this resurgence thanks to thing's like Green Day's American Idiot, and so I'm happy people came back around on storyline, concept ideas. As a kid, I was also a fan of Batman, which a lot of people are aware of today. I liked the characters that had no superpowers, but rather with a heightened kind of reality. Those were my kind of super heroes.

The band has had a tumultuous couple of years. How much of that influenced the writing on the new record?

For us, in terms of writing the songs it has to be genuine subject matter, no matter what the concept; I always think that the stories in our songs have to be about things we experience on a daily basis. And that's what our fans relate to. And that's where I come from - being the weird kid that's told my relativity was subject to political or religious ideas. Like our fans, I never wanted to be kept in the shadows, even though there are lots of things designed to keep us down. So I still write from the point of view, too.

Out of curiosity - did you follow the recent presidential election closely?

I did. I honestly was disappointed by the lack of both of the candidates' willingness to really touch the issues. Neither Romney or Obama wanted to be seen talking about abortion or gay marriage or others things people actually vote on. They know that people will just basically vote for their party so why deal with real issues? I'm not a political person, but I was and am fascinated by the immersion that people have to their own sides; the way people get so dug in no matter what.

Your fans are so dedicated. Do they remind of you when you were younger?

If I'm being honest, I didn't have that sort of community. I grew up as a loner, but I set out to create a community with this band. Then they started to breathe life into it and they took it and ran with it. They created this amazing community and it's a really a nice relationship with the band - we help each other. One thing about our fans - they are not in this just for aesthetic value. They are radically affected, I think, by what we do, so we try to make sure all of our messages are perfectly clear.

Hollywood Music Magazine-Interview with Black Veil Brides Vocalist Andy Biersack

7. prosince 2012 v 12:59 | Margie |  Andy other
Why did you go the concept album route on the new album?

Andy Biersack: Around April of last year we started working on a follow up to our second record. We got about six songs in as far as the writing process and it never really felt as exciting as I wanted it to be. It felt it was a little too much of a logical follow up to our last record and I guess I became a little disillusioned to the idea of making just another rock record. We weren't really being as tenacious as we should be as in terms of what we were doing. Around that time we had done a round of festivals in Europe and in Germany I remember just sitting there and thinking that I wasn't particularly excited about anything that was happening on the record and I really wished that there was more that we could do. That's when I sat down and started writing down the concept of this story, just a couple paragraphs, outlining the story of this "Wild Ones". It's a Viva- Vendetta-esque story where this bad guy organization called F.E.A.R. takes away science and creativity from man and I suppose is a parallel to the religious and political upbringing of all of us in small towns in America. And that was something that really excited me. When we got back to LA I really got excited about making it into a record and around that time I met John Feldmann our producer. It was a combination of meeting him and having this story that I was so excited about that two days later I shut down production with the other producer and moved everything over to John Feldmann's studio and really started working on and fleshing out what would become this sort of concept record.

How did you challenge yourself sound wise to fit this concept?

Andy Biersack: When you're writing something that plays out over the course of an entire album you tend to bog yourself down and how you think more about how you want to write around that story and I think it becomes an albatross to write to a story. We did the first week and half saying, "Alright lets write for the concept." And after that we kind of just erased the concept from our mind and try to write songs that were just great songs that we really loved and even though we had the concept in the back of our head we didn't want to focus too much on it. I think in terms of building a record that is a story it is important that you are always writing genuine songs and you're not writing a script for a play. Sonically I think that's where it really came in. How do we tell this story when it will just be the sounds of this record? How can you feel an emotion, how can this be the soundtrack to something - just sonically and that came from just playing with music a lot more. We kind of reinvented the way we write songs we started writing from scratch as opposed to the way we would write in the past with say a lead guitar part in mind. On this record we wanted to write on piano or acoustic guitar first and make sure it was a solid song all the way through and then come in and write the guitars around it and violins and everything else around it. In doing that we were able to build the record and also just playing with music. The idea of involving instrumentation that we had never used before stuff like violins and big band instruments like horns just to make it a little more grand and help tell the story.

Did you get the album you wanted? Is everything on there or were there some things that were just impossible to pull off?

Andy Biersack: You know what? Honestly I am very happy to say that everything I envisioned when we started this record is now on the record. So much so that we actually have four or five songs , that are solid songs that would have been the best songs on Set the World on Fire , but they didn't end up making the cut because we had too much stuff that we were really excited about. There's 19 tracks on the album and in my opinion the best thing we have ever done. I'm very excited about it because you set out with this concept and you have this idea to do this big scale thing and it can go one of two ways: It can go great or end in disaster and I'm very happy to report that it went very well.

Is the concept of the album going to develop into any other mediums like film or graphic novels?

Andy Biersack: We have made a full length film based on the record and it is going to be screening in theatres in Los Angeles on the 21st through the 23rd of December. It will also be available through Pay Per View on our Facebook page thereafter. Also we intend on spinning it off into everything possible. For us we are very visual people obviously the theatrical quality of the band lends itself to do a lot of things like graphic novels. We all grew up loving comic books and pop culture in general.

That's one thing about you guys is that you have the look but you also write decent tunes. There's some musicianship behind what you do.

Andy Biersack: I think you will get bands, particularly bands since our success, that they are a little bit like a fashion show and their music is sort of the soundtrack to the fashion show. They come out and wear their make-up and look cool but they don't necessarily care about the musical value. We have always been a rock band first and foremost and when we go onstage we are entertainers and we want to make sure that the show is something that is worth the audience paying for and that they enjoy. Honestly, first and foremost we are a rock 'n' roll band and our songs are what is most important.

What's coming up for tours?

Andy Biersack: We have a tour coming up that is our first headlining tour in about a year. We are doing the entire United States so we start January 4th and run through February and on until March. We're going to the markets that a lot of shows don't see. The goal of this tour is that we are trying to bring the tour everywhere. It's nobody's fault that they were born into a small town that they shouldn't get a rock show just like anybody else.
