"We try to decide what the best idea is and combine it all into one thing" - Andy (Screamer Magazine)
Biersack has always been into these types of post-apocalyptic dramas, and they have always fascinated him. “I’ve always been into the new world order idea where the government is the church,” he explained. His story is based around the main fact that the government has removed science and creativity. Further explaining, he said, “It’s about removing the fun parts of society and making it about just existing every day…that kind of every day drudgery. I’ve always really enjoyed those types of stories. It’s always fascinated me about how far people will go and how much people will put up with just for the sake of staying alive.”
So, this is the primary basis of their latest album: it is a concept album that tells the story of dystopian future where a unified church government is devouring society through taking away science and creativity. This despotic regime drugs the youth into becoming drones, but refugees named The Wild Ones – the band’s fictional alter ego – inspires the kids to be themselves and revolt. “In essence, it’s the origin story of the band and the BVB army, “Biersack explained. This is one of the most personal albums the band has released. It not only details the lives of their alter ego, but, as Biersack describes, “It’s the soundtrack to our lives and the lives of The Wild Ones. It’s got elements of everything we’ve done, but it’s different. It’s high-concept, but it’s also personal.” He also added, “At the same time, it’s not a musical. You can listen to any track as a standalone Black Veil Brides song. If you choose to go on the ride, there’s a story.”

Andy Biersack didn't think Set The World On Fire fit in with his plans for Black Veil Brides. So, to start afresh, he and our tour headliners tore down what they created and made Wretched And Divine, a dystopian concept album and film double-whammy. David McLaughlin looked to the future, and joined BVB's incredible rock evolution...

Album Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Artist Direct
It's an enthralling concept album about the birth of the band's alter ego, "The Wild Ones", and their very own revolution against an Owerllian government. Sticking with all nineteen tracks makes for an unforgettable roller coaster but, at the same time, the record boasts some of the group's most massive anthems yet. Born from lulling piano, "I Am Bulletproof" snaps into a thrash riff and searing lead emblematic of how powerful guitar duo Jinxx and Jake Pitts truly are. Drummer Christian Coma and bassist Ashley Purdy lay down an impenetrable groove on "New Year's Day" that quickly explodes into a sweeping chorus.

Movie Review: Legion Of The Black - Under The Gun Review
"Legion Of The Black is a 45-minute companion piece to Wretched And Divine, the forthcoming Sophomore album from Black Veil Brides. Unlike similar features, which use the themes of the album to create an original story, Legion chooses to let the music and interludes of the album guide what you see in the story. For the viewer, this mean getting two stories for the price of one. The first is that of a high school aged girl who personifies the stereotypical Black Veil Brides family and her struggle in a world where everyone sees what makes her different as something that makes her broken, while the other serves as a quasi-performance piece coupled with metaphorical retelling of the same story complete with super powers, masked villains, and mini music videos for almost every song of the album".

Black Veil Brides Explore 'New Ground' With Utopian Concept Album, Film - Billboard
An Orwellian concept album was not what Black Veil Brides initially had in mind for its third album, according to frontman Andy Biersack.
Biersack tells Billboard that the Los Angeles rockers were "six songs into" their third album by the spring of 2012, but were troubled. "Honestly, it just wasn't feeling right," Biersack recalls. "Nothing we were writing or doing felt like it was all that different. It felt like a very logical follow-up to our previous album (2011's 'Set the World on Fire'), which is what I WASN'T interested in doing."
"We're so emotionally invested in this record right now, it's too early for me to think of taking my head out of 'Legions of the Black' and 'The Wild Ones,' " he says. "This is where we're living right now. Right now we want to put this record out and tour with it and then maybe get inspired and start working on a sequel."

Black Veil Brides ready to put on a show - Las Vegas Review-Journal
When frontman Andy Biersack got the Black Veil Brides together, it was only natural that they would do so while clad in what could pass for Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil" hand-me-downs.
He equates it all to Santana face.
Andy Biersack, frontman for Revlon-abetted, glam-goth rockers Black Veil Brides, is defending his right to wear a studded codpiece onstage and still be taken seriously.
Yeah, he knows you're laughing.
Hear him out.
Biersack's point: Just because the Brides rock stilettos and look as if they were waterboarded in mascara doesn't mean they can't play.
