Black Veil Brides are kicking off the new year with a heavy new single release paired with a cinematic, A24-esque music video.
Certainty
After nearly two decades of leading a massive fanbase, inspiring thousands, and legendary releases, Black Veil Brides has not entered 2026 quietly. Their brand new single, “Certainty,” is available now via Spinefarm. The song balances heavy chugs and screams with vocalist Andy Biersack’s signature melodies and lyricism. “Certainty” delivers an exciting taste of their upcoming album; details of which will become available soon.
“The concept of ‘Certainty’ is central to this record and appears throughout the album,” explains Biersack. “The song was inspired by the film Conclave, particularly its reflections on religious certainty and how rigid belief systems can become prisons of our own making. When certainty hardens, curiosity, growth, and the willingness to change become impossible. Much of today’s political and social discourse exists inside these echo chambers of absolute belief, and that tension drives the narrative of this record.”
Music Video
The song’s dynamic contrast and depth are matched by its cinematic music video. Slow-motion, cool-toned shots are filled with a mysterious atmosphere and artistic imagery throughout the video. This is shown alongside shots of the band performing. The music video was directed by George Gallardo Kattah and filmed while BVB was in Colombia on tour.
Biersack adds, “This was the final song written and recorded for the album. It started from an idea Jake sent over, and it came together quickly over the course of a few days. It felt essential both narratively and musically, capturing the overall tone of what we’re aiming for. The music video, directed by George Gallardo Kattah and his team in Bogotá, Colombia, is one of our favorites we’ve ever done. His interpretation of fear and pride as biblical twins is stunning, and the visuals are incredible.”
