View promo for We Don’t Have To Dance from Black Veil Brides frontman's Andy Black solo project

Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack has released a video for his solo track We Don’t Have To Dance.

It’s lifted from his Andy Black project’s debut album The Shadow Side which will be released on May 6 via UMG Recordings Inc/Lava Music LLC.

Biersack said of the album: “Sonically, the goal was to really play with music and a lot of different stuff – to have a lot of odd instrumentation and to have a lot of programmed stuff, keyboards and more classic, almost pop-rock guitar. It’s more U2 than Megadeth.

“There are no guitar solos on the record. There’s a lot of drumming styles – there’s some weird sleigh bells.”

He’ll head out on the road across the UK in May under the Andy Black moniker.
