I honest never thought I'd be writing about BVB in 2024, but here we are! Holy shit! I also usually don't cover bands of their magnitude. However, when I discovered that they did a song inspired by Sweeney Todd, which is one of my favorite stories of all time, I absolutely had to check it out. I have to start off by saying that the video is absolutely phenomenal. They perfectly reproduced the look and feel of the barbershop set from the Tim Burton film. The lighting and everything is flawless. I could be wrong, but I think they used a combination of practical and CG effects, which I think was a smart choice, given the amount of blood and such. I absolutely love this song. The breakdown is brutal, the lyrics are darkly uplifting, and the chorus is hella catchy. Their new music is true to their roots, but I'd say more polished and intelligently written. I love it. I'm only about two decades late to become one of their fans, but this song solidified it. I definitely recommend checking it out!
