6 Record Deal & Debut Album Black Veil Brides first came to the attention of Lava Records president Jason Flom when the chief music officer at Hot Topic, John Kirkpatrick, told him about the incredible buzz that building around the band, with their t-shirt attracting the second biggest sales in the country at that point. What was even more impressive was that they had built their fanatical following in a "DIY" fashion, such as in making their own self-funded videos.11 When Flom then heard their music and met the group, he decided that they were exactly what he'd been looking for, later commenting to Hit Quarters
