3
4	An American {{Metalcore}}/[[HairMetal Glam Metal]]/HardRock band based in Hollywood, California. Famous for their Music/{{KISS}}-like face paint, and having both a strong fan base and strong hatedom, the latter mainly from certain uncharitable metalheads. They started out as a {{metalcore}}-styled band with a penchant for face paint and glam styled theatrics before making these themes overt by switching to a pure {{hair metal}} sound, becoming possibly the modern purveyor of the 80's sound.

53	----
54	!! This group provides examples of:
55	* AlbumTitleDrop: In all of their first three albums: ''We Stitch These Wounds''; ''Set the World on Fire'' and ''Wretched and Divine''.
56	* BeYourself: The main message of a majority of their songs.
57	* CallBack: Andy's lyric book from "Knives and Pens" shows up again in the video for "Coffin", as he buries the Andy Sixx persona along with it.
58	* CarefulWithThatAxe
59	* ConceptAlbum: ''Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones''
60	* CoverVersion: Of Music/BillyIdol's "Rebel Yell" and Music/{{KISS}}'s "Unholy" on the ''Rebels'' EP.
61	** In 2023, they released a standalone cover single of Music/TheSistersOfMercy's "Temple of Love" featuring Ville Valo of Music/{{HIM}}.
62	* DeadpanSnarker: Andy in most interviews.
63	* FallenAngel: They have a song about this, appropriately called "Fallen Angels"
64	* FunWithAcronyms: '''F'''or '''E'''very and '''A'''ll '''R'''eligion, the primary villains of ''Wretched and Divine''.
65	* GenreThrowback: A new millennium hair metal band.
66	* {{Hair Metal}}: Basically they play music from 1986 in the 2010's. although they do darken the lyrical content and image in comparison to the colorful party atmosphere of the genres heyday. Not to mention they're a little bit heavier than just about all other hair bands (which isn't saying much, though, since hair metal is arguably the least "metal"-sounding SubGenre of metal next to the lighter side of alt-metal).
67	* HandicappedBadass: Classically trained rhythm guitarist Jinxx, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B5oH7-wgOHT/?igshid=w1912avvnx2e who has come out saying he is epileptic]].
68	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Again, all of them.
69	* MetalBandMascot: The creature on the cover of their self-titled fourth album, who is named Legion.
70	* {{Metalcore}}: Began as this, although it only lasted for one album.
71	* NotAfraidToDie: The main character of "In the End", as he fights one last glorious battle.
72	-->''In the end, as you fade into the night\
73	Who will tell the story of your life?\
74	And who will remember your last goodbye?\
75	'Cause it's the end, and I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to die''
76	* OneWomanSong: "Carolyn"
77	* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: Either played straight or subverted, depending on how you see them.
78	* StageNames
79	* VocalEvolution: Andy. Partly due to the fact that he started Black Veil Brides at the age of fifteen, and basically went through puberty during the recordings of their ''Sex and Hollywood'' EP in 2007 to ''We Stitch These Wounds'' in 2010. Not to mention his screaming technique has improved over the years, though it is implemented less than it was in their early work.
80	* [[WalkingShirtlessScene Walking Shirtless Band]]: Most pictures of them usually have some form of bare chest, especially Andy.
81	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Jake on his Twitch streams. He does it fairly often. It is amazing.
82	* YouAreNotAlone: Part of the lyrics in "Carolyn".
83	** The theme of "Saviour" as well.
