[1] In early 2009, he formed a new band using the current Black Veil Brides name, with the lineup consisting of Biersack, guitarist Chris Hollywood, and drummer Sandra Alvarenga, who were soon joined by bassist Ashley Purdy and guitarist Pan the Gypsy; they signed with the independent label StandBy Records.

[1][3] Chris Hollywood and Pan the Gypsy later departed the band and were replaced by Jinxx and Jake Pitts.

[5] The group's debut album We Stitch These Wounds was released July 20, 2010, and sold over 10,000 copies in its first week, ranking at No.

In late 2010, Black Veil Brides went on tour with bands The Birthday Massacre, Dommin and Aural Vampire.

[8][9] Black Veil Brides first came to the attention of Lava Records president Jason Flom when the chief music officer at Hot Topic, John Kirkpatrick, told him about the incredible buzz that was building around the band, with their T-shirt attracting the second biggest sales in the country at that point.

[10] When Flom then heard their music and met the group, he decided that they were exactly what he'd been looking for, later commenting to HitQuarters: They are bringing back what has been missing for over a decade: they are rock heroes that are truly larger than life.

[12] The band continued on to the Vans Warped Tour, which began June 24, 2011, and ended August 14 of the same year.

[13] However, on June 18, Andy fell from a pillar while performing and broke his ribs, which caused them to miss the first week of the tour.

[16] The band also played at the Rock am Ring festival at the Nürburgring motorsport complex in Nürburg, Germany in June 2011.

[17] On April 20, it was revealed the band had won Revolver Magazine's Golden Gods Award for Best New Artist, the title for Kerrang!

[18] The band's second studio album, Set the World on Fire was released on June 14, 2011, through Lava Music/Universal Republic Records.

[25] The album's next single was The Legacy, with a music video filmed by Patrick Fogarty that premiered on YouTube on June 6, 2011.

Their third single from Set the World on Fire was "Rebel Love Song", which also had a music video directed by Patrick Fogarty.

[26] Despite the injury, which was bad enough for people to notice that he was having difficulty breathing and talking, he was determined to finish the show.

They released a trailer on YouTube which shows Andy recording vocals for their cover of the song "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol, which was to appear on the EP.

In an interview with Chris Droney from Glasswerk National, they hinted that there would be a guest guitarist to appear on the EP,[28] who eventually turned out to be Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society), who plays the guitar solo on the cover of the song Unholy, originally performed by Kiss.

In a February 2012 interview, Ashley Purdy announced that the band's third studio album was scheduled to be released at the end of 2012.

[32] On May 2, Black Veil Brides had this to announce: "As of today, we have officially began recording our new album which will be released on October 30th!

[38] The lead single from Wretched and Divine, "In the End", was featured as one of the theme songs for WWE's Hell in a Cell.

[39] The band will embark on "The Church of the Wild Ones" North American Tour in support of the album, with further details to be announced.

On October 29, the band announced the official track list and the new, rescheduled release date for the album (January 8, 2013).

[53] The band were headliners in America with support acts consisting of Falling in Reverse, Set It Off, and Drama Club throughout October and November and dubbed the tour, "The Black Mass".

[58] On November 15, 2019, Black Veil Brides announced that they had "mutually agreed to part ways" with bass player Ashley Purdy.

On August 2, 2020, following the live stream show which celebrated the re-recording of We Stitch These Wounds, Jeremy "Jinxx" Ferguson had confirmed that they are working on a new album during the COVID-19 pandemic, stating in an interview with Myglobalmind: We have been writing up a storm.

I can't talk too about what we envision for the next album, but we are revisiting the idea of another concept record like we did with Wretched and Divine.

[88] The band's influences include Marilyn Manson,[89] Kiss, Metallica,[90] Pantera,[90] Avenged Sevenfold, Mötley Crüe,[91] Poison, AFI, W.A.S.P., Rob Zombie,[86] L.A.

Guns, Aerosmith, Misfits, Dead Boys, The Damned, Slipknot, Dropkick Murphys, David Bowie, Queen,[92] Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Skid Row, Social Distortion, Rise Against,[93] Billy Idol, Alice Cooper and Hot Water Music.

[78] With the release of Set the World on Fire, their appearance changed to resemble that of glam metal/shock rock bands like Kiss and Mötley Crüe, while their sound dropped the smooth singing and harsh screams in exchange for clean, but gruff "James Hetfield" style vocals.

[108] Black Veil Brides' lyrics have dealt with topics aimed at people who feel like outcasts in society.
