With the recent announcement made by Andy Biersack revealing the new release date for The Phantom Tomorrow (now available October 29th via Sumerian Records), Black Veil Brides is giving fans something to enjoy on what was scheduled to be the original release date.

The band is releasing an animated lyric video for the punishing track “Crimson Skies” – the third song now available from the album via all digital service providers globally. The animated video expounds upon the underlying story of the upcoming concept album based on an idea by Biersack. The video depicts a confrontation between the main character “The Blackbird” and his followers as they encounter “9,” his adversary introduced in the “Fields Of Bone” video as the lyrics of the song roll throughout. The “Crimson Skies” lyric video was created by Ale & Cake Illustration and Tim Edwards and can be enjoyed now.

Recently, Los Angeles rockers Black Veil Brides released the full details of their upcoming sixth studio album, The Phantom Tomorrow. The album is comprised of a dozen tracks and has spawned the current Top 20 Active Rock single “Scarlet Cross”. The video for “Scarlet Cross” has been viewed over 6.3 million times and can be seen below.

The follow-up video for “Fields Of Bone” marks the directorial debut by vocalist Andy Biersack. Backed by guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton and drummer Christian Coma; the “Fields Of Bone” video showcases the new look the band will be utilizing throughout the entire cycle for The Phantom Tomorrow. The video for “Fields Of Bone” can also be seen below.

The cover artwork for The Phantom Tomorrow was created by Eliran Kantor – known for his work with Testament, Hatebreed, Havok and Andy Black to name a few. The Phantom Tomorrow is produced by Erik Ron (Godsmack, Dance Gavin Dance, Bush) and co-produced by guitarist Jake Pitts – is available for pre-order in various bundle configurations at phantomtomorrow.com.

Like their band name suggests, Black Veil Brides evoke transcendent visions of an impenetrable hereafter, intermingling with a steely focus on the dark passions and elusive mysteries of the here and now. A romantic fantasy first summoned in a small town by founder Andy Biersack – a creative who was fascinated with death rock, theatricality, and monsters (both real and imagined). It wasn’t until moving to Los Angeles that the unstoppable force the band is currently was finalized.

The band (and its members Andy Biersack, Jake Pitts, Jinxx, Lonny Eagleton, Christian Coma) Instagram and Twitter accounts command close to 10 million followers between them. Vale, the group’s most recent full-length album, went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart. In the hearts and minds of their fans, Black Veil Brides represents an unwillingness to compromise and a resistance to critics (personal and professional), fuelled by the same fire as the group’s own heroes, the iconoclasts whose creative output, once dismissed, is now canonized.
