FASHION/STYLE: 
Black Veil Brides are known for their distinct appearance of black makeup and body paint, tight black studded clothing, and long hair), which was inspired by Kiss' and Mötley Crüe's stage persona. However, this distinct style has caused them to be a easy target for abuse online (If you look at any Youtube Video you will find hate filled comments). 

PERFORMANCE: 

In 2013, Black Veil Brides were the headline act on the Kerrang Tour. Despite Black Veil Brides winning the majority of awards they are nominated for they get a considerable mixed response. Their performance on stage is fantastic (coming from experience) and they do have a variety of instruments which breaks the conventional rock performance, this is because Jinx comes on playing the violin which isn't common. 

FANS:
Fans of Black Veil Brides range from the occasional listener to the extreme of dedicating their life to them. The fan base of Black Veil brides is dominated by emo's and regularly on their facebook page they post pictures of fans who have sent them pictures of their BVB inspired Tattoos. Most of the Tattoo are the words "Never Give In", one of their songs which seems to touch a lot of people. 

ALBUM COVERS: 

The concept of the album covers follow the same sort of style, particularly the first two albums. The 3rd album is a concept album so the front follows the story of what the album are trying to portray.

ADVERTISEMENTS: 

The example I have chosen is a very early advertisement for Black Veil Brides. It follows the consistent trend of black and they are shown with their face paint, so people can identify who they are. And of course, the conventional features such as Dates, Locations, Contact Numbers are all provided. The title "Black Veil Brides" is consistent with its chosen font type.
