Andy Black has unveiled what appears to be yet another teaser pertaining to his graphic novel and sophomore album, The Ghost of Ohio. This time, Black cryptically posted a map of the greater Cincinnati area, with the suburb of Westwood highlighted in red.

However, the Black Veil Brides frontman’s latest teaser has only left fans even more confused. To make matters even weirder, the map was accompanied without a caption. Check out the map for yourself below.

That said, fans are having a hard time pinpointing exactly what the map could mean. Speculation ranges from a secret book signing to a private concert.

Andy Black and his many teasers

Given Black’s most recent tease, it looked like something could be coming Feb. 15. 

While the photo doesn’t clarify exactly what is to come, many fans are speculating that it could be a song from Black’s forthcoming solo album, or even the whole thing.

While these fan theories could be true, Black tweeted just four hours earlier, “Itinere.” Thanks to one very smart Twitter user, the word allegedly translates to “tour” in Latin.


Only time will tell if today’s tour announcement with tickets on sale Friday is what Black was referring to or we have even more to look forward to later this week.

Recently, Black unveiled the prologue to his graphic novel. The audio recording gives the background of the ghost. According to the recording, the ghost grew up in a small town with a lack of acceptance. After being accused of a crime he did not commit, the ghost was sentenced to death.

“Sometimes when something so terrible happens to an innocent soul, the universe has a way of fixing the damage that was done,” the prologue says. “And on the evening of December 26, that’s exactly what happened. On that night you see, he returned from the dead. This is the ghost of Ohio.”

Before that, Black completely revamped his Twitter by hiding his tweets. Then, he released a short promo video, revealing that he was the “Ghost of Ohio.” Additionally, he announced that “ABII,” which is speculated to be his sophomore album, is “coming soon.”
