After parting ways with Ashley Purdy, who’s been performing with them since 2009, the band decided to join forces with Lonny Eagleton, who couldn’t be more excited to become a part of this band.

“Before I had any affiliation with the members, I used to fantasize about playing in this band, playing the music, wearing the makeup and stage outfits, so for that to now become my reality is completely surreal,” said Eagleton in a statement.

This isn’t the only amazing surprise that Black Veil Brides have in store for their fans. They also dropped a new EP titled The Night, which features tracks “Saints of Blood” and “The Vengeance”.

This record is a part of their strategy to release so-called duologies, instead of full-length albums so they wouldn’t keep their fans waiting for new music.

Jinxx, the band’s guitarist, discussed their plan to give this album a makeover during a recent interview with My Global Mind and explained why they decided to take this step.

“[The original album] was recorded ten years ago, and we didn’t have a large budget to do it properly. We had to call in some favors just to get it completed. This time, we will produce it ourselves and have it match to what we sound like now,” stated Jinxx.

He’s hoping this re-recorded version will provide their fans with an opportunity to hear the album in its full glory because the production value wasn’t great at the time when they originally made it. They’re planning to drop it on the 10th anniversary of We Stitch These Wounds, and include a couple of new tracks.

Morrisey is known for being a little challenging to deal with in the music industry. He frequently has unusual demands and reportedly once demanded that his whole crew be vegetarian when on tour.

We can never be sure how many of these stories are actually true, but based on this bizarre encounter Andy Black had with Morrissey, we’re starting to think these tall tales have some truth to them.

“So maybe around 2011 or 2012, we were playing in a venue in San Francisco and the very following night Morrissey was playing at that same venue,” Black told NME.

“I noticed that during soundcheck the stagehands that worked at the venue were angrily walking around stage and taking all of the gaffa tape off everywhere.

“So I go up to my tour manager and say, ‘Can you find out why they’re tearing all of the gaffa tape off the stage?’ He came back a few minutes later and goes, ‘Yeah it’s green and yellow and Morrissey refuses to go on stage if there’s anything that’s green and yellow on it, so they’re replacing all of the gaffa tape with blue gaffa tape’.”

He added: “I don’t know if that’s true or if someone was screwing with them, but that’s my Morrissey story.”

Andy Black recently released his solo album The Ghost Of Ohio and is on tour this summer.

Purdy appeared on Another FN Podcast last week and caught everyone by surprise when he said that Black Veil Brides will break-up when they finish Warped Tour. Of course, the news created lots of buzz in the following days, and now band’s frontman Andy Biersack had decided to clarify the situation.

“As far as I know, there are no plans to break up the band,” Biersack told Loudwire. “I spoke to the band this morning, and that seems to be echoed by everybody. I can’t really speak to any comments about the band breaking up, because I was never aware of that. As far as I know, that isn’t the intention, and it certainly isn’t my intention.”

Biersack further explained that the only thing band members discussed were various side projects, but that neither of them will affect the band’s future.

“I wake up in the morning and I think about what we’re going to do next,” he added. “If someone comes to me and says, ‘We’re unhappy, we don’t want to be in the band anymore,’ then it has to be treated seriously. But until that happens, I just have to assume [Purdy’s interview] was something that was floated out there in an open forum discussion that he was having, or just something that was said in passing and wasn’t meant to be serious. So I don’t know the full thought process behind it, but I’ve known him, and I’ve known all the members of the band my entire adult life, and I can trust them when they say to me that this is not the intention of the band.”

Before this controversy, there was nothing that hinted about problems in the band and possibility that Black Veil Brides are breaking up.

The band released their fifth studio album, titled Vale, in January and is currently in the middle of a successful tour. Still, we will have to wait and see what unfolds from this.
