Black Veil Brides are an American rock band based in Hollywood, California. They were formed in 2006 in Cincinnati, Ohio and the group is currently composed of Andy Biersack, Lonny Eagleton, Jake Pitts, Jinxx and Christian "CC" Coma. Black Veil Brides are known for their use of black makeup, body paint, studded clothing, and long hair, which were inspired by 1980's glam metal acts such as Kiss and Mtley Cre.

Black Veil Brides's lyrics have dealt with topics aimed at people who feel like outcasts in society. Their bass player, Ashley, said this in an interview about the message the band sends to its listeners:

"We carry a message of believing in yourself and letting no one else tell you otherwise. We stand up for the underdog and the disenfranchised. Anything strange, odd, or unique... we embrace that. So basically standing up for yourself, have fun, and live your life how you choose. You only have one life, make the most of it."

"Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used for when a woman marries into the church and gives up all the pleasures of life to devote her life to God. She is then deemed a Black Veil Bride. Sorta similar to a rock band where you have to give up many things in pursuit of what you're passionate about or believe in. It also has the dichotomy of the positive and negative. The happiest time in one's life, could be getting married. And the opposite of that in one's life would be at a funeral of a loved one. It all tends to fit really well for a dark and heavy rock band.

-Synopsis: From award winning director Josh Shultz comes the short film, Americana, a neo-western that follows a grieving father (Jack) and social worker (June) in a world where children are being kidnapped and trafficked.
