![]() ![]() I think any artist that is really worth their sh-t tries to get better with everything they do and it’s always trying to achieve something that may not even be achievable – you may try to reach for something that you may never attain. I was 17-years-old when we were doing our first record and I feel like this is the best we’ve ever gotten to sounding the way we want to sound. I know everyone’s like, “This is our most honest record or our heaviest or our most melodic.” Genuinely for us it feels like our most definitive thing we’ve done towards the sound we’ve wanted to cultivate. Before we had a concept with all of our stuff but this one is just a raw, genuine, honest record.ĪB: We wanted to do something genuine and lyrically it was very much shooting from the hip it was about things I was experiencing as I was experiencing them and then writing them down. ![]() As a band, we spent a lot of time together on this record and we focused on the record and our lives together as a band and it really shows through in the record. ![]() It represents who we are as people and our lives and where we’re at right now. What about who you guys are as people and musicians can we hear on the new material?Īshley Purdy: We’ve said it before, this is our most authentic and genuine record. So we wanted to keep that tradition too, we liked it, there’s something nostalgic about it. It feels like a definitive piece to us, we feel very confident in the music and we also wanted to keep the tradition of Bob who has done self-titled records with Metallica, Motley Crue, and The Cult. It just felt like we were forcing the idea of an album title – we just wanted things to go more organically on this one and it just felt like the natural title for the record. Honestly it just felt right, every time I had about five titles I’d give to the band and we’d sit around and talk about it and none of those names felt as right as this self-titled. So I feel like we exhausted all the title options and so maybe we didn’t have any titles left. What made you go this route for a title for your fourth studio album?Īndy Biersack: Well I was saying this earlier, we had like seven titles for the last record: it was Black Veil Brides’ Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones. Check out our interview with both Andy Biersack and Ashley Purdy of Black Veil Brides below. He continues, “I remember being eight years old and I said to my dad, ‘You know she’s not really into you, she’s just trying to get tips right?’ That’s something my dad talks about, how funny that was to him, at that age I was perceptive to the leechy nature of the Hooters-like aesthetic.” With an edge of humor in his voice, Biersack states, “Now I assume all women are into me, that’s a safe bet.” Clearly witty, charming and intelligent, a safe bet it is. “I remember coming to one of these with my dad when I was a kid and totally buying into the Hooters chick thing with her sitting at the table with us” shares Biersack.
