Robert: Can you each share your insight into your favorite aspects of your last three CDs Set the World on Fire, Wretch and Divine, and BVB IV?Ĭhristian “CC” Coma: My favorite thing about all the CDs is their diversity. We wanted to make a heavy record in the context of classic metal and with Bob Rock at the helm, he helped us achieve our vision. Robert: Tell me about the direction for this CD, did you decide to incorporate all the best qualities from your previous works?Īshley Purdy: I just think it’s where we are right now in our career. On We Stitch these Wounds we used it as a badge, on Set the World on Fire it was a flaming highway, on Wretched and Divine it was used as a throwing star and for IV the idea was for it to have a more menacing quality, like a batter-rang.
The morning star in his hand also has different connotations from each CD. Robert Cavuoto: Tell me about the CD cover for BVB IV, does the winged creature have a name?Īndy Biersack: Yeah, his name is “Legion.” He’s a culmination from all our album covers put into one creature – he’s like our mascot.
