Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack recently opened up about the band’s enduring relationship with their fanbase. He credited their devoted audience for sustaining their career despite industry indifference. His comments were shared in an interview with Rock Feed.
The discussion centered around the strong bond between the band and their supporters over the years. When asked what he attributes this connection to, Biersack provided an in-depth response about authenticity and fan loyalty.
“I think on some level it is that connection, right? I have always been to the best of my ability as sincere as I possibly could be in the things that we do,” Biersack said. “The connection point was something that was sincere in the early days. I think that we are a good band that writes good songs and we work really hard at what we do. I think a combination of really giving a truly caring about our audience in a way that I think a lot of our peers feign interest in their audience, but we sincerely care.”
The 35-year-old vocalist emphasized how crucial fan support has been for a band that wasn’t industry-favored from the start.
“Most importantly, we make good and we work really hard on it. You know, I think that those are the things that to be able to sustain any sort of life in music when you are not the darlings, when you’re not the band that is propped up as the next great thing or the saviors of whatever, doing the car commercial rock with the jangly cords like, you know, it’s we were never in that position,” he continued.
Biersack expressed deep gratitude for fans who actively defend the band against critics and industry neglect.
“So, you have to have an audience that is unbelievable. You have to have an audience that I know intrinsically that when people don’t believe in the band or we are ignored by a publication or we are whatever whatever it is, I know that our fans will go search that thing out and say, ‘F*ck you for not covering this band. F*ck you for not talking about this.’ That is I don’t think I could really even explain how grateful I am to have that,” he said.
The frontman reflected on nearly two decades of fan loyalty and the courage it takes to support Black Veil Brides publicly.
“I am at this point now. I just turned 35 a few days ago since I was 16 years old, that has been a part of my life. I have grown with our fans and I get to do this and I get to put out this record and all this because of our audience being so uniquely devoted and so cool for so many years and putting up with a lot of sh*t. To this day, there’s a certain level of balls that you have to have to say Black Veil Brides’s my favorite band. Obviously that’s lessened over the years as we’ve become more commercially acceptable in the metal community. But still like go look at a post of you know a new song is out there’s going to be an argument and the people that ride for us and stand up for us and say I love this band, I can’t thank them enough because I know that it comes with the territory of some bullsh*t,” Biersack concluded.
Biersack continues to lead Black Veil Brides into a new creative era as the band prepares fresh material and heads toward their next full-length release. In 2025 ,they dropped the heavy single “Hallelujah”, which Andy co-produced with guitarist Jake Pitts and features backing vocals from the One Voice Ensemble choir, and the track caught significant attention as a return to the band’s more visceral sound.
On the live front, Black Veil Brides toured extensively in 2025, including a North American run with BABYMETAL, multiple festival appearances such as Warped Tour, Louder Than Life, and other stops, as well as the We Missed Ourselves Tour with support from Underoath, Silverstein, Senses Fail and I Set My Friends On Fire. They’re also lined up for performances at major 2026 rock festivals like Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple, showing the band’s continued presence on the road alongside their new releases.
