My earliest memory of being scared is hearing “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd” from the original 1979 cast recording. I was both terrified and fascinated by Len Cariou’s portrayal. As a kid, I learned all the lyrics to songs like ‘Johanna’ and ‘My Friends’ and would sing them constantly. The 2007 film by Tim Burton only deepened my obsession and it became my dream to play Sweeney Todd in some capacity. The “Bleeders” music video fulfills this wish in so many ways. A huge thank you to @jensennoen and his incredible team for creating my favorite video we have ever done, to @erikron for helping us craft the song, to my BVB brothers for their passion, creativity and constant hard work, our label @spinefarmrecords for their full fledged support and belief in the concept, and to all of YOU for making it possible for us to do this in the first place. This project is a dream come true.

Can we just take a moment to simp about the newest album drop by Black Veil Brides, The Phantom Tomorrow, released October 29, 2021. I know, I know, I maybe should have wrote this post like two years ago but really I had a lot to do in the meantime and wanted to give it the true justice this piece of art really deserves. This release is the second album drop since the band's decision to part ways with former bassist Ashley Purdy, (the first basically being a re-master of their former masterpiece debut album "We Stitch These Wounds", now dubbed cleverly, "Re-Stitch These Wounds") and now this! Can I just say, WOW-wowie-wow-wow-wowzers! omg I am just BLOWN away by what has gone into this piece of art and I feel blessed to be born in a time where I got to truly experience its release. Just wow. Welcome to the band Lonny Eagleton, with a resounding, please please don't ever leave.

Tracklist:

The Phantom Tomorrow (Introduction)

Scarlet Cross

Born Again

Blackbird

Spectres (Interlude)

Torch

The Wicked One

Shadows Rise

Fields of Bone

Crimson Skies

Kill the Hero

Fall Eternal

Oh hey did you know that Black Veil Brides released a COMIC BOOK?! It apparently goes right along with this masterpiece of an album because WHY NOT? Siri, can you add "Buy The Phantom Tomorrow comic" to my to-do list? Hell yes. I bought Andy's Ghost of Ohio when it dropped so ya know ya girl is gonna hop this band wagon. And who wouldn't? With such an awesome story and a crazy ass cover like that? Name two people, I bet you cant. And if you can I don't believe you.

From the mouths of babes, as they say. And man is Andy a MAJOR babe. Anyhoo, I figured I would save ya'll a track-by-track personal breakdown because who can do it better than the guys themselves? Amirite? I will say this though, this album feels WHOLE. It feels full. It feels like a really well-rounded album. I'm not a musician myself, but I LOVE music, and I have been watching a lot of different bands grow and rise and it has been an absolutely AMAZING ride. But this band, what a well-rounded flushed out sound they have come to grow into as each individual has honed their craft or joined. And before any of you ask my personal favorite off this particular album is Torch. It's on my On Repeat on Spotify for a reason--but I digress...that brings me once again to Lonny.

Lonny Eagleton

Who is Lonny Eagleton you ask? Well, he's a sweet boy from Canada who joined the BVB family, and man does he fit RIGHT in. Well, his website Bio boasts he's a professional musician who has worked with multiple recognizable names in the industry, that he's done his fair share of arena/theatre based tours, and a plethora of other hidden talents all backed by a degree. I mean, that's impressive enough but man he is humble and sweet to boot! I don't think I am out of line when I say that the BVB family has scored big with this addition to the band--especially if the "The Phantom Tomorrow", and the latest ep drop (October 21, 2022) "The Mourning" are any proof of what is to come in the future.

Now that brings me to "The Mourning" EP which I am also very late to mentioning (at least here!). It's four tracks of powerful music that speaks from and to the soul directly. Clearly what went into this was some powerful storytelling, some genius mastery, and some amazing skill-work. Dare I say, that the older these boys get--the more they manage to master their craft? But it's true. And being someone from the sidelines watching them grow, has been a most satisfying experience--man am I PROUD to be in this fandom. NOT TO MENTION the totally amazeballs producer they have, Erik Ron who handled this ep and the previous album before this. Way to rock out with that cock out Erik!

Tracklist:

Devil

Saviour II

The Revival

Better Angels

"How the fuck is one so evil left to just proceed? All the luck and how deceitful that idle minds can be." Lyrics from Devil really hit close to home some days, especially if you're currently living in America (and I am). It's clear from the tone set by the melody of the guitars when the track first open-fires on your eardrums for an eargasmic explosion of what can only be described as pure Black Veil Brides energy. Straight from the speakers to your soul, Andy Black truly has a way with words and the boys on strings (Jake, Jinxx, and Lonny) really know how to nail it home and build a mood to a harmonious climactic point before bringing it smoothly back down again. And may I say, that CC has really just been on fire these last few albums? He is really kicking some ass behind that kit and I think it's fair to give him a mention for it.

In softer tones Saviour II was second on the EP and set a more serious and tender vibe. A soul bearing ballad needs to be on every album right? At least that seems to be a theme for BVB that I personally hope never dies. They do amazing with a good somber heartfelt melody and these new lyrics that sort of offer different softer, more human side to the Saviour we as a fanbase were used to. The first being: "So hear my voice, Remind you not to bleed. I'm here." the message being a strong voice offering a shoulder to lean on here. A superhero almost. Whereas, the second, "So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made, Like a court jester, my smile won't fade. Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave. Answer the call, living in thrall-You're the one born to save." Is a tooootally different vibe. Like someone human just trying to make it through each day. So-so so good.

The Revival is the third track on the EP and it unfortunately didn't get a video but is still really cool and definitely worth a mention. It feels like Saviour II worked right up into this song. I'm sure they did that on purpose but I can hear/see a story playing out before my very eyes. Maybe my imagination is running a little high, but they have a habit of writing a whole ass story and following it up with a rock opera--so I am not sure because I looked all over for like a track-by-track breakdown and didn't find one (so if anyone has one and can link one to me that would be sugar and spice!) but nevertheless the instrumentals in this song are fire but from 2:19-2:35 it is just the best musical soup I have ever tasted. There I said it. I can say it. It is hot fire.

That brings me to the final track on the EP, Better Angels. I think instrumentally, and melodically, Better Angels may actually be personally my favorite track. Lyrically it is one of the coolest things I have ever heard. I came from a really strictly and very strangely repressed religious background and when I hear the stories told in these songs tied up in some sort of religious metaphor it really resonates and I know I am not the only one in the fanbase that is dealing with these issues. "Go back to hell with all your demons-leave me alone to find the pieces inside my mind. They came in to control my life. And all the devils devour- Your better angels devour." Whether it comes from a religious place or not, that is a pretty fire chorus, you have to admit. Not to mention the absolute MELTDOWN I have inside my head when the guitars (2:35-2:50) fuckin slap my dudes! I am telling you, if you haven't heard it already, please do--your life will be more complete because of it. It's one of the prettiest things I have ever heard ringing in my ears.

Really can't wait to see what Black Veil Brides has in store for us next! I mean between the comic-book, the album, and the ep, I'm already pretty stoked and I literally have no fuckin clue outside what Andy has mentioned in recent interviews! But I will be keeping my eye out! you bet!

Also before I go please enjoy this acoustic set I found on Youtube.

valley adventures. 6/6

   the day started with a run in my new favorite park down the street. i have no clue why people hate on the valley, as i'm quite content with my new life in los angeles suburbia. i've run the mile dirt track at the sherman oaks park every day this week. its buzzing with life - outdoor group classes, children playing, people walking dogs - it feels like i live in an actual town in america, not just the crazy hollywood bubble that is traffic & runyan canyon. the day progressed quite marvelously with breakfast to celebrate my friend finishing grad school. i can't remember the last time i "brunched" with a girlfriend outside in the sun, but i loved every minute of the great conversation and company.

   tonight's event was a totally new exploit for me: i wanted to find music in the valley, so after a little google action i decided to hit the cobalt cafe in canoga park. yes, i went to canoga park on a friday night, by myself, to see a couple rock & post hardcore bands. i decided to hit the show after listening to Alive Like Me, and because there was a Rise Records (Hands Like Houses) & Sumerian band (Miss Fortune) in the lineup. so i headed to the deep valley in hopes of running into some people i know in the metal scene.

   and i did. i saw a producer friend of mine that i almost texted to go to the show. he looked at me like "what the hell are you doing here," and i think he was slightly impressed that a) i was in canoga park at the cobalt cafe, b) i was by myself. winning. the cobalt cafe was quite an interesting little locale. with no bar, and no age limit, it appears to be the metal hub of the valley scene, for high school kids at least. there were ear gauges and chuck taylors galore. though it was about as hot in the deep valley venue as it is in burbank in the afternoon,  i was impressed with the positivity of the place, and also with how many kids were out to catch some rock with their friends. i watched a few songs from Miss Fortune. if i was 19 i totally would have bought their record; they were a throwback to my warped tour days. they actually congratulated their drummer, i think it was, for dropping out of high school that day to play music. godspeed to that kid. i couldn't stay to see hands like houses, but at the recommendation of my friend, i've been listening to them all night and will definitely try and see them next time they're in town.

   it just so happened that my friend who graduated got called off from work, so i headed to their apartment to have a few celebration drinks and listen to some Bob Segar. sun, live music, champagne, & friends. legit friday.

SAVIOUR II - Behind the scenes 📸 @anabeldflux ⁣

There are few songs in our career where I have felt the lyrics I wrote convey the message and way I was feeling when sitting down to write them more than this song. Early in 2020 @jinxxed4life wrote this incredible piece of music as a tribute to the loss of a loved one and from the first time we heard it we knew it was special, I hope that whatever meaning you derive from this song brings an impact to your life. I have been extremely fortunate to get to make music professionally since I was a teenager and that has come with a lot of responsibilities, some that often felt bigger than I could handle at a young age. As I’ve gotten older I’ve been able to reflect more on the opportunity and what it means to me. The good, the bad and the inconceivably lucky moments I have had across the span of the past 15 years and I want to thank you all for every single one of them. We all do our best to rise up to the challenges we face and sometimes we fail, sometimes we succeed but what’s most important is that we never give up on who we are in our hearts and our drive to be what we want to be. I’ve learned so much since I was a 19 year old kid screaming at people for flipping me off but the one thing that’s remained the same is my pledge to you to do everything I can to entertain you and I hope inspire you to never let outside noise deter you from being exactly who you want to be and doing the things you dream of doing. You have given me this dream and I wake up every day resolute to do whatever I can to never let that incredible gift go to waste. ⁣⁣That is what this song represents lyrically for me.

“Every word that came from you has carried me…” ⁣⁣

Huge thank you to everyone who contributed their time and effort to making this video happen. @vcordero6 and his entire crew, all of the incredible musicians who performed in the video, @nikkinouvelle , @blasko1313 and the BVB team, everyone @sumerianrecords and @erikron @anthonyreedermixes for helping to bring this song to life. ⁣⁣
