How did you get to be a part of The Legion of the Black?
Basically, because I’ve gotten to be around the band so long, a friendship was developed. As well as the band, I’ve gotten to also know the very talented Richard Villa III (artist behind most of the band’s artwork, co-writer of the movie) and Patrick Fogarty (the director), whom I’ve become quite close to. They’ve known about my acting/modelling career and they thought my look and vibe would fit perfect with this role, so that’s how it came about. I honestly couldn’t be more honored to play this role and I have a huge connection to it.
Black Veil Brides CZ did an interview with Alicia Vigil a while ago. Alicia is the girl who played the part of Eve Black in Legion of the Black and she has also worked on quite a few other things with the band! Read the full interview HERE.

Barbara Schrijver: Making your first movie to match an album must have been amazing, so are you thinking there will be more concept albums in the future?

Black Veil Brides CZ did an interview with Patrick Fogarty, the director of Legion Of The Black and most of Black Veil Brides' music videos. Do you see any difference between working on “Knives and Pens” where you collaborated with the band for the first time back in 2009 and working with them now? Read the full interview on Black Veil Brides CZ.
Under The Gun Review has posted a review of Legion Of The Black: 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. For a diehard fan, there really is nothing more you could ask for from such a release. Read the full review HERE.
