Interview with Modern Day Renaissance Man… JINXX of Black Veil Brides

July 12, 2013

For years, the Baroque period of music has influenced many rock musicians as they brought out intense emotions through their music. During the ’80s, several rock acts also brought forth their ability to play classical music into their own style. From Richie Blackmore to Yngwie Malmsteen they brought a new life to rock. Some heavy metal musicians would take inspiration of the loud, dramatic tones that would come from Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Paganini. Today you even have sub genres of music that completely encompass these sounds, ranging from symphonic rock, baroque pop, rock opera, etc. What I truly enjoy is when a rock/metal band infuses their own sound with these classical influences without overpowering or completely altering their sound. For me, one of the most successful bands that has achieved this today is Black Veil Brides. Not only do they deliver incredible music that is filled with emotionally driven lyrics, but has classical compositions interwoven through their songs. Their most recent album, Wretched and Divine, The Story of the Wild Ones captures this essence with their [Read More]
