Andy Black’s latest reveal has us asking even more questions
As previously teased, Andy Black may have just clarified exactly who the “Ghost Of Ohio” is. In a new teaser, the video’s caption reads, “I am the The Ghost. AB II coming soon.”
Additionally, after hiding his tweets, Black has revamped his Twitter. As of now, the only tweet on his profile is what appears to be a promo of some kind. According to the comments, many fans believe it could be the album cover for his forthcoming record The Ghost Of Ohio to go along with his comic book of the same name.

Accompanied by intense music, the teaser depicts a photo of Black. The minute-long video then says “coming soon” and urges fans to go to the domain “TheGhostOfOhio.com.”
The website mentioned in the video shows a simple subscription page, so fans can get email updates from Republic Records, Universal Music Group and Andy Black.
Additionally, according to the replies on the video, Black has been teasing his forthcoming project for quite some time.

In addition to the new website, if fans go to Black’s traditional website linked to his Facebook page, it will direct fans to a similar layout. Appearing next to Black’s initials inside an outline of the state of Ohio, Black announces that a new single is “coming soon.”
Recently, Black has been teasing fans with five installments of audio messages. In those teasers, the Black Veil Brides vocalist allegedly left excerpts from his comic book.
The Ghost Of Ohio is expected to be released by Z2 Comics in March of 2019. His sophomore album of the same name is meant to be released at the same time as the comic, complimenting each other in terms of concept and theme.
“The record is meant to be a soundtrack for the comic book,” Black says. “The focus was to do songs that felt like they represented, in terms of tone, the different emotions of the story. There are songs that are just straight-up fun pop songs. There are songs that are dark, moody, gothic songs.”
Could Black’s latest teaser pertain to his sophomore album?
The teasing
Black began dropping cryptic photos on Twitter mid-January, sharing a “Part 1” teaser just a few days ago. “Part 1” involved fans calling a phone number and hearing a recording of what they believe to be an excerpt from the comic.

Then, on Feb. 2, fans had to discover “Part 2” using the same phone number but a different recording. That day, Black also shared an ambiguous photo on Twitter.
