Black Veil Brides have released their second single off their upcoming album, The Phantom Tomorrow, and let me tell you right now, it’s a good one. This album is heavily awaited by fans far and wide and with the new single “Fields of Bone” it’s bound to be a show stopper. I played this song way too many times to count as soon as it came out and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
The track starts with an ominous electronic mix that sets the tone for the song perfectly. Andy Biersack’s distinctive vocals have a sort of fuzz to them as he sings the first 4 lines of the first verse which only adds to the mystery of the song.
Once the second part of the verse hits, you’re immediately bopping your head to the beat of the hard hitting drums and feeling the lyrics more and more.
The chorus feels like a call to people to keep moving forward and to have faith that they will get to where they need to be. The fight isn’t over that’s for sure. It’s an intense fast paced rhythm that keeps you on your toes and makes you want to dance and yes, I am speaking from personal experience.
The bridge has all the band members singing in unison in true Black Veil Brides fashion and we’re lead into a killer solo by Jake Pitts that stops you in your tracks.
The song ends almost abruptly leading you to believe there is much more to uncover about this story they are effortlessly telling.
This song is very reminiscent of their sophomore album Set The World On Fire with the intense drums, the roaring bass, heavy guitars and loud and proud vocals but with a cinematic twist that takes you on a long journey through this world they have created. Not to mention a new element with Lonny Eagleton taking the reins on bass in his first full length release since joining the band.
This album is sure to be a fun one with deep messages and hard hitting themes which you can explore in full on June 4th when it’s released. Pre-order The Phantom Tomorrow here.
