In an all-new interview, Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack (aka Andy Black) joins Cutter’s Rockcast to chat about the band’s new music, including their latest single, “Hallelujah.”
Black shares, “I grew up Catholic, and it plays into a lot of my lyrics and always has. I’m not practicing, but anytime you grow up in any kind of religious situation, the good and bad filters its way in. And I went to Catholic school, and I got the negative side of it, and then I had family members who were practicing it, and it was a very positive thing in their life. And so in some ways I can’t help but have it find its way into the things I write.”
He continues, “This is not a religious song, but the content is such that I sort of see the way things are going culturally where it almost has this sort of religious zealot nature to it where things, whether it’s ideological conversations or whatever else, sort of always come from the perspective that it’s a deeply held belief and you can’t possibly have any pivot points on it.”
Black also recently appeared on an idobi Radio episode of idobi Warped Radio—the official Warped Tour radio and podcast—ahead of Black Veil Brides’ Long Beach performance. You can watch the full interview below.
