Black Veil Brides have scuttled their plans to release their new album this fall and are now plotting an early 2018 release date. The group tracked the effort with with producer John Feldmann (Papa Roach, The Used). Frontman Andy Biersack explained the delay to Rock Sound:
“The reason for the delay was that – first of all – we took 15 months to make the record, we really wanted everything to be as perfect as possible.
We weren’t able to get the artwork and assets together exactly as we wanted it for the original deadline and – while listening to it back in the meantime – there were elements that I wanted to change.
We had a discussion with the label and they agreed with us that we should line it up with something big tour-wise, so we’ve put something together for the winter for the release that’s going to be a really big tour that I think people have wanted to see for a while.”
The band also have some special plans in store when it comes to touring, with Biersack teasing:
“I can’t tell you too much more – if I could, I would! But I will say this – it’s a tour that the fans have wanted for a very long time, it’s something that people have been asking for us to do for years and we were finally able to get it together – I think it’s going to be something really special.
I think the people in the world who like what we do musically and are part of the scene that we exist in will be really excited to come out to these shows.”
With his fall now freed up, Biersack will instead be focusing on creating the sophomore album from his solo venture, Andy Black. He will again team up with Feldmann for that effort.
