Black Veil Brides Push Back Release Date For Upcoming Record

black-veil-brides-new-1

Unfortunately, Black Veil Brides have announced that they are delaying the release date of their upcoming record, ‘The Phantom Tomorrow’.

The album would originally come out on the 4th of June, via Sumerian Records, but is being pushed back to the 29th of October.

Frontman Andy Biersack has posted a written statement on the band’s social media, as well as a short video, explaining their decision.

You can read and watch both below:

"Hey there. Andy from Black Veil Brides here. I want to talk to you about our record The Phantom Tomorrow. As you guys know, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the production industry on every level. The music industry has been hit hard in the sense that there is a huge delay in the manufacturing of things like vinyl records and physical product and other integral pieces to releasing an album.

When we finished recording The Phantom Tomorrow, we were so excited about the album that we wanted to get it out as soon as possible and so we set a June 4th release date. We realized pretty quickly that by having that June 4th release date, we would not be able to have vinyl records, other physical media, comic book series – all the things that we had planned for the release.

So we are going to delay the release of the record to October 29, 2021 at which point we will be able to have multiple vinyl variations, comic book series, different multimedia and things that can properly lay out this whole release. We know that it’s going to be disappointing for you guys who were looking forward to hearing the full album on June 4th, but I promise you that you will hear music around that date and much more coming in the future.

We have more music videos, more singles, as I said a comic book series and I can’t go into detail about it, but the return of Black Veil Brides live music is happening sooner than you think so there will be lots of announcements coming. So again, October 29th, 2021 – The Phantom Tomorrow. We can’t wait for you guys to hear the record and join us in this world that we have put together and hopefully, you enjoy it and it is worth the wait."
