The intense breakdown in Faithless takes the band back to their metalcore roots and show they are strong musicians, but once again the passionate lyrics seem written only with the intent of getting a crowd to sing along rather than communicate anything of meaning or substance. Structurally, the song works well as a single, but, as seen in the video, demonstrates their theatricality as performers more than their talent as musicians. Frontman Andy BiersackвЂ™s overly produced vocals fail to hide that fact he doesnвЂ™t quite hit a few of the notes, while his lyrics seem to lack any depth and meaning. However, despite a lacklustre scream near the end, this track feels as though it was created solely for its commercial appeal. The opening single, Heart Of Fire, aims to capture the listenerвЂ™s attention with soaring guitar solos and a catchy, sing-along chorus. Lead vocalist, Andy Biersack has abandoned most of his heavy vocals for a cleaner, more produced singing style, however this is somewhat overshadowed by lead guitarist Jake PittsвЂ™ dazzling solos, which make for a sound as theatrical as their Hollywood hometown. Their 2010 debut, We Stitch These Wounds, was described primarily as metalcore, however theyвЂ™re now more heavily influenced by glam metal acts such as Kiss, Def Leppard and Aerosmith, and this shows on their newest self-titled record. While the band identifies as rock вЂnвЂ™ roll, throughout the years they have undergone many stylistic changes. Somehow in this time they have also managed to produce four studio albums, the most recent of which has just been released.

Black Veil Brides have been touring non-stop for almost half a decade now.
