FRANK-O’S NEW MUSIC STASH ON 6/20: BLACK VEIL BRIDES

Black Veil Brides formed in 2006 in Cincinnati, Ohio and are now based in Hollywood.
This track is a cover song originally performed by Sisters of Mercy and guest features vocalist of HIM, Ville Valo.
According to a statement, BVB frontman Andy Biersack says of the new track:
“I first discovered Sisters of Mercy in my freshman year of high school, I had a poster of AFI from the Art of Drowning era and Davey was wearing a SOM shirt and so as was often the case back then I went on the hunt to find the music that had inspired my favorite musicians. The very first song I heard by SOM was the ‘92 version of ‘Temple of Love’ and I became obsessed with their entire catalog.
We’ve talked about doing a BVB version of this song for years and when given the opportunity to collaborate with fellow SOM fan and goth rock icon VV (Ville Valo) it seems like the perfect situation. We are thrilled with how it turned out and hope that anyone who’s familiar with the track enjoys our spin on it and those who have never heard the original enjoy it and maybe this will lead them down the path to the greatness that is SOM like that poster of AFI did for me when I was a kid.”
