"The level of dedication our fans have shown over the last year and a half is constantly surprising and nice," says Biersack. The quintet's flamboyant theatrics, meanwhile, have not only made it one of the most consistently entertaining live acts of the day but has attracted a fan base as devotedly crazed as the KISS Army, Slipknot’s Maggots or even Lady Gaga’s Little Monsters. Its songs, including such fan favorites as "Knives and Pens" and "Perfect Weapon," became anthems for the disaffected and the disenfranchised - and for anybody who just likes big, bold, kick-ass rock songs. 1 on the magazine's Independent chart, and recently it earned the group a Best New Band nomination at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards as well as a headlining spot on the 2011 AP Tour.

He's not kidding, and there's every reason to believe that will indeed be the case as time goes on. My total score for the album is a 7.5/10.That's what Black Veil Brides founder Andy Biersack proclaims on "Rebel Love Song," one of the 11 tracks on the group's sophomore album, Set The World On Fire. Thankfully that's enough to make the album worth listening to, and fans of this style of music will love it to pieces. It sounds like it borrows just a little too much from other bands a lot, meaning that often the only thing that stands out in this album is the singer's voice. It's clear that the band is gunning for a particular audience with this album's style and sound, and that audience will eat this up. It still sounds good, just way too familiar. It's not really their fault, it's the fault of the style they went with. The problem is that the generic sound that comes from them doesn't do a good job of showing that. Now I'm not saying that the rest of the band doesn't have talent. It's got a deep and melodic quality to it that's so good even when he's just talking he sounds fantastic. The thing that keeps it from sinking into a realm of mediocrity filled with other too similar sounding bands is the lead singer Andy Biersack's voice. It uses a musical style popularized by bands like Avenged Sevenfold and the lyrics scream Escape the Fate.
