The Californian rockers first worked with Feldmann on their record Wretched And Divine: The Story Of The Wild Ones two years ago. They say via Instagram: "Excited for another day of pre production with John Feldy for the new Black Veil Brides record."

Andy Biersack previously told Jagermeister UK that they will be doing things differently this time out. He said: "We've never had an opportunity, in all of our career, to make a record that had some time behind it.

"Every record that we've done has been a really quick turnaround, and that's not by design - that's because, times being what they are, the record label goes, 'Give us a record now.'
