Legion Of The Black - Black Veil Brides
When Disney first came out with its classic film Fantasia
fans went wild for it then years later a sequel entitled Fantasia 2000
introducing fans old and new to this historic way of musical theater. Now this
concept is used within the mainstream music scene with some local go getters
who call themselves the Black Veil Brides.
Calling Los Angeles, California as their home these guys
have developed since day one way back when having had line-up changes come and
go they have engulfed their own styles of appeal and music. Take the use of 80s
legends Kiss meets Motley Crue and you get a glimpse into what to expect. Now
on their third and latest album entitled "Wretched and Divine: The Story
of the Wild Ones" a full on concept release that takes no excuse to be a story
worth of telling, hence the idea of Andy Biersack taking this concept to an
even further expansion developing a full-length feature film.
Which brings back the Disney flicks Fantasia and Fantasia
2000 who used purely music throughout their films without any dialog
whatsoever, so now the Black Veil Bride's put this same effect in full having
several videos 9 in fact, lined up in this full-length concept of a tale. The
tale itself centered around a girl named Eve Black played by new coming actress
Alicia Vigil, whereas the band members portray themselves except with different
alias's; The Prophet played by Andy Biersack, The Deviant by Ashley Purdy, The
Mystic by Jinxx, The Mourner by Jake Pitts, and The Destroyer by Christian
Coma.
Eve Black not liked by anyone from her parents, to the kids
at school her only concept and focus is and was the Black Veil Brides her
appeal decked out in total black with BVB plastered head to toe in every size,
shape, and form, whereas her bedroom having the same formula. Eve faces her
everyday lifestyle just trying to survive dealing with the ones who ignore and
abuse her until one day there is no turning back and no other way out but one.
This film was directed by Patrick Fogarty who's been with
the band since practically the beginning took the helm at this directing this
series of videos which is what this film is a long music video. Just as those
who considered The Simpsons movie to be a long episode this is what this is it
is just a long 45 minute music video. The film itself is done quite well it has a
storyline that many BVB fans and other fans of this style of music can
immediately relate too.
It goes without saying that having taken just one song only
one that that is what turned out to be an entire album and what really brings
that heavy metal and spookiness to life.
