“Wretched and Divine” has turned into more than just an album, too. BVB has also turned the story into a film, “Legion of the Black,” which features eight songs from the album, with the band in performance footage while actors depict the plot.
“We started with the intention of making it half dialogue, half music,” Biersack says, “but we found the music was so much more interesting than the dialogue that we wound up removing the dialogue from it and just let the (cast) interact. We’re really proud of the way it came out.”
BVB is in the midst of a lengthy campaign to give “Wretched and Divine” its due. The group is on its The Church of the Wild Ones World Tour, which heads to Europe and April and then to the Vans Warped Tour during the summer.
A “Legion of the Black” DVD will be released at some point this year, and Biersack is hoping to mount a full-scale “Wretched and Divine” concert in the future.
This interview covers the story of Wretched And Divine, a bit about Legion Of The Black, and some speculation about what Black Veil Brides could be doing in the future. Check out the full interview on The Oakland Press!

Screamer Magazine recently did an interview with Andy in which he tallked about how the story of Wretched And Divine came about and what it was like working on the album. “In essence, it’s the origin story of the band and the BVB army, “Biersack explained. This is one of the most personal albums the band has released. It not only details the lives of their alter ego, but, as Biersack describes, “It’s the soundtrack to our lives and the lives of The Wild Ones. It’s got elements of everything we’ve done, but it’s different. It’s high-concept, but it’s also personal.” He also added, “At the same time, it’s not a musical. You can listen to any track as a standalone Black Veil Brides song. If you choose to go on the ride, there’s a story.” Read the whole interview HERE.
