Black Veil Brides vocalist changes name.....again.

It is not uncommon for bands to change names, sometimes for legal reasons or sometimes to signify a fresh start and a break with the past. It is however bigger news when a front man actually changes his name and this is the story with Metalcore act Black Veil Brides.

Up until now, the vocalist of the group has been going by the name of Andy Six, leading many people to accuse him of trying to pass off on the name of the Motley Crue hell raiser. This has been strongly denied by the band and their fans but the latest announcement from the singer indicates he is returning to using his real surname, Biersack.


What's in a name anyway?



No doubt the singer had his reasons for changing his name when the band were starting out but whatever they were, they couldn't have been that serious now he has switched back. Perhaps his parents are now fully accepting of his day job and the way his band dress up to grab attention!

This makes absolutely no difference to the band's music but may cause some confusion amongst fans. Fans of the group get to hear material from the man now known as Andy Biersack and the rest of the group when Black Veil Bride release their album in June. The title of the album will be 'Set The World On Fire' and there will be a single preceding the album called 'Fallen Angels'.
