Black Veil Brides postpone release of new album 'The Phantom Tomorrow'
The album will now be released this autumn
Last updated 6th May 2021
Black Veil Brides have announced that they will be postponing the release date of their upcoming sixth studio album 'The Phantom Tomorrow'.
The follow-up to 2018's 'Vale' was due to be released next month but due to multiple challenges within their production processes, the band have delayed the release until Friday 29th October.
In a video posted by the band, frontman Andy Biersack apologised to fans about the delay, while also insisting that the album will be worth the wait.
He said: "As you guys know, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the production industry on every level,” he says. “The music industry has been hit hard in the sense that there is a huge delay in 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 realised 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."
