With “Vindicate” set to arrive on May 8, Black Veil Brides are turning up the heat with the release of “Revenger,” a powerhouse new collaboration featuring Robb Flynn of Machine Head. The track marks the latest preview of the band’s Spinefarm debut and finds Black Veil Brides diving headfirst into one of the album’s darkest and most emotionally charged corners.
“Revenger” featuring Machine Head is the latest song (the seventh if you are keeping score) from their Spinefarm debut out on May 8th. The track frames vengeance as fantasy and delusion, following a self-styled avenger convinced that retribution could deliver justice. “Revenger” featuring Machine Head further showcases the versatility of the band comprised of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma.
“I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. 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 favorite songs on the record.”
