![]() It was then announced that the single had been pushed back on iTunes to May 10, and would be provided free of charge to those who pre-ordered the album simultaneously. On May 3, a preview for another song titled " Youth and Whisky", was released online. " Fallen Angels" was the first single released in support of the album, accompanied by a music video directed by Nathan Cox. Instead, an extended preview was released for fans. The title track, " Set the World on Fire", was intended for use in Scream 4, but it was not included in the film. It is the first Black Veil Brides album with drummer Christian Mora, replacing Sandra Alvarenga after she left to join Modern Day Escape. Double kick-drum verses along with "hey!" shouts and “whoa oh oh” battle cry hooks, are semi-fun throwbacks to the days when Anthrax and Skid Row reigned supreme and songs like “Fallen Angels,” "Rebel Love Song," and “Love Isn’t Always Fair” have potential crossover appeal to Active Rock fans, even if Black Veil Brides are far from breaking new ground with their studded cod pieces and geisha makeup.Set the World on Fire is the sophomore album by American metal band Black Veil Brides, released through Lava Records/ Universal Republic Records on June 14, 2011. ![]() Guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx are the showstealers here, riffing in constant harmony, and incorporating the speedy guitar pyrotechnics of similar-minded bands like Dragonforce and Escape the Fate while throwing in showy Zack Wilde pinch harmonics, and Yngwie Malmsteen sweeps. ![]() The slick production of Josh Abraham ( 30 Seconds to Mars and Linkin Park) marks a big change from We Stitch These Wounds, with no screaming to be heard until the three-quarter mark in the power ballad “Savior” (which starts as a tender love song, complete with string arrangements, before bursting into screeches.) That’s practically the only sign of metalcore, though, and the rest of the album is instead indebted to speed metal and modern rock. ![]() Vocalist Andy Six (now going by his surname Andy Biersack) still has an emo way of singing, but has replaced his squawky screamo choruses with a gruff, James Hetfield growl that he interjects throughout. As their look suggests, Mötley Crüe and Kiss are big influences, as is Metallica, and elements of these three bands are evident throughout Set the World on Fire. ![]() For Black Veil Brides' first outing with Universal Republic, they tone back the emo-punk dramatics, and let their ‘80s hair metal freak flag fly. ![]()
