Black Veil Brides have released their first single of 2025, titled “Hallelujah”. The track marks the band’s first new material since their 2024 release “Bleeders”, and signals a return to a heavier sound reminiscent of their earlier work.
Released via Spinefarm Records, the single is now available on all major digital streaming platforms. Production credits go to Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack and guitarist Jake Pitts. The track also features a guest performance by the Tampa-based gospel choir One Voice Ensemble, adding an atmospheric and layered vocal element to the recording.
Andy Biersack reflects on the upcoming album: “”‘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. 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 Black Veil Brides record by far but more importantly I believe it is the most sincere and honest record we have ever made”.
