After 7 years, Pierce The Veil announced this Friday, the 11th, their fifth studio album, The Jaws of Life .
Without releasing a new album since 2016, Pierce The Veil released "Pass the Nirvana" in September, the first single from their new project. This Friday, the band released a new single, called "Emergency Contact," written by vocalist Vic Fuentes in the home studio of Mike Ferreira , from MxPx .
Made after the pandemic period, The Jaws of Life served as a unifying force for Pierce The Veil. In November 2017, then-drummer Mike Fuentes was accused of sexual abuse and "inappropriate sexual conduct," including involving a minor. He has been absent from the band ever since.
Regarding the new album, Vic Fuente comments: “This album has brought us closer than we’ve ever been. It was extremely difficult for us to be off the road and away from each other for so long. We’ve never missed something as much as we miss playing music together, and we’ve never enjoyed recording, touring, and simply being in the same room together so much.”
