Machine Head's Robb Flynn Guests On New Black Veil Brides Track "Revenger"

Platinum-certified melodic metalcore band Black Veil Brides have unveiled a new track titled “Revenger,” featuring a guest appearance from Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn.

Speaking on how the collaboration came together, vocalist Andy Biersack shared:

“I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to write lyrics from the perspective of someone who is trying to seek out the ultimate form of justice.

Because I was writing from someone else’s voice, this felt like the kind of song that would be best served by having someone else’s voice on the song. So, we brought in Robb Flynn of Machine Head. The reason he came to mind first was of course his voice, tonality and style I thought was perfect for this. He is also someone who was one of the first real defenders of Black Veil Brides. In the early days when we were getting absolutely shit on by every other metal band, Robb Flynn and Machine Head stood up for us and said positive things about us and has maintained that for years and years.

I think it’s one of my favorite songs on the record.”

The record Biersack referenced is “VINDICATE,” Black Veil Brides’ upcoming seventh studio album. It’s set for release on May 8th and will mark the band’s first outing with Spinefarm Records.

For those interested in exploring the concept further, the themes behind the song are expanded upon in a new book of the same name written by Andy Biersack, which is available now via simonandschuster.com.
