Our new song ‘Vindicate’ comes out tomorrow, I view this song as a means of conveying the themes of the album right at the top. Each song on the record represents a different way we fight with the feelings of revenge and getting even, sometimes with others, sometimes with ourselves, our past, something someone else did to us etc.
This song above all else was lyrically inspired by the chip I’ve had on my shoulder since I was 16 years old and started this band. I was immediately torn down and sneered at by my peers within the “scene” and those around me and to this day this band and our fans have always had to fight through that to one degree or another. Beyond that though I find that it’s representative of every one of us who have to deal with someone attempting to destroy our ambitions simply because they do not possess the skills or wherewithal to make their own dreams come true.
All of us are born with a fire and a belief in ourselves, often times though the world around us will try to stamp it out. This is a song about never letting them drag you down. If you are a fan of what we do, you have given me more than you could ever imagine and I thank you ardently and sincerely for allowing me the opportunity to do this for all of these years. I hope you enjoy Vindicate! @blackveilbrides

Our hearts are broken. Ace has passed on. No one can touch Ace’s legacy. I know he loved the fans. He told me many times. Sadder still, Ace didn’t live long enough to be honored at the Kennedy Ctr Honors event in Dec. Ace was the eternal rock soldier. Long may his legacy live on!
Incredibly sad to see reports of the passing of Ace Frehley, a founding member of what I believe is the most important American rock and roll band of all time. While I did not know him personally, he and the band have been a part of my life since my earliest memories. The impact KISS has had on me is immeasurable. None of what I do exists without them and generations of guitar players would have never picked up the instrument if it were not for his signature style and swagger. Ace is one of a kind and a rock icon in every conceivable sense of the term. RIP to the space Ace.
