After recently sharing a heavy teaser, Black Veil Brides have just dropped their first new music of 2025.

The band – vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton and drummer Christian Coma – have unleashed new single/video Hallelujah via Spinefarm, and while serving as a brilliant, brutal song in its own right, it also promises even more…

“Hallelujah is an important song for us, not only because it is the first track from the new record, but also as a signifier of what’s to come for the band,” explains Andy. “On a narrative level, it represents the themes and ideas I am exploring lyrically on the album. I am fascinated by the current state of discourse and how often we seem to prioritize ideological certainty over the heart and soul of humanity. Over the years we have developed a tremendous connection with our audience, which is often dismissed or misinterpreted by the ‘scene’. We stand at a unique inflection point culturally and I want to be able to speak openly about how much I believe in being true to yourself over the fear of mass hysteria or in-group recriminations.

“When my grandfather’s voice spoke to ‘the outcasts’ in the first moments of our first record in 2010, it was a sincere call to arms for all those who feel different. In many ways this record is the natural evolution of that same idea. This is the heaviest and most vitriolic BVB record by far but more importantly I believe it is the most sincere and honest record we have ever made.”

Can’t wait. Watch the video for Hallelujah below:
