BLACK VEIL BRIDES are easily one of the constantly rising bands in rock music. Playing a sold out 6 date UK tour after returning from Europe its proof that there's no stopping the wild boys from Los Angeles. The crowd is made up of mostly teenage girls and their parents accompanying them but the audience no matter what age go mental for each band playing the stage.
The first band on the stage was THE SMOKING HEARTS. A relatively unknown band but the audience were constantly shouting back the lyrics to each of their songs. The band were the heaviest band on the line up combining harsh vocals with energetic Hard Rock but the crowd were ecstatic with excitement when they appeared on the stage.
Next band up were on the hardest working bands in the British Hard Rock scene. HEAVEN'S BASEMENT are next up and the crowd certainly are pleased by them playing songs from their newest album ''Filthy Empire'' such as ''Fire, Fire'' and ''Heartbreaking Son Of A Bitch''. The band proves that good old Rock N' Roll surely isn't dead; they're full of energy and rip roaring guitar solos with every member being influential in the performance.
After a lengthy wait the most anticipated act of the evening, Los Angeles Rockers BLACK VEIL BRIDES headline Rock City main hall. If you stepped into the venue and had no idea who was playing you could easily be mistaken for going to a ONE DIRECTION concert due to the amount of screaming girls. The band opens up with ''Shadows Die'' followed by ''I Am Bullet Proof'', ''Wretched And Divine'' and fan classic ''Knives And Pens''. They play a mix of songs from albums such as ''We Stitch These Wounds'', ''Set The World On Fire'' and their latest release ''Wretched and Divine''. The set ends with ''Fallen Angels'' and ''In The End'' proving that even though they have lightened their sound, they still know how to make their crowds happy.
What made the gig so successful was the highly loyal fans of the headline band listening to every band on the line-up which made all the difference due to both supports having small fan bases. There is no stopping BLACK VEIL BRIDES on their path to stardom, they know how to put on a great stage show and writing songs which fans adore.
