Black Veil Brides Start New Chapter With ‘Bleeders’ & Announce EP

Black Veil Brides have kicked off a new era with their latest song, Bleeders, and have also announced a new EP that will have the same name. This is their first release with Spinefarm Records, and it promises to highlight their journey through the past, present, and future.

The band’s lead singer, Andy Biersack, says the new EP will feature more than just their own songs. It will include a new version of the song My Friends from Sweeney Todd and a cover of U2‘s famous Sunday Bloody Sunday.

To get fans excited, they’ve released a new music video for Bleeders, directed by Jensen Noen. The video is filled with dramatic scenes that pay tribute to Sweeney Todd, a story that has been important to Biersack since he was a kid. He first fell in love with the story when he saw the cover of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street on his dad’s old CD.

The band have also just kicked off their US tour with Creeper, Dark Divine and Ghøstkid.
