Heavy Song of the Week on Heavy Consequence spotlights Black Veil Brides’ latest single "Certainty," showcasing their evolution from screamo roots to refined melodic metalcore. Frontman Andy Biersack articulates the song’s themes of rigid belief systems and societal echo chambers, inspired by the film Conclave. Alongside this standout track, other notable releases include Alter Bridge’s atmospheric "Scales Are Falling," Fotocrime’s darkly introspective "Plowjob," and Puscifer’s synth-driven "ImpetuoUs," all hinting at their respective albums’ broader narratives.
As these bands explore complex themes through their music, what role do you think heavy genres like metal and punk play in addressing societal issues, and how can artists continue to push these boundaries?
