Yes, you would need permission from Black Veil Brides' record label to use the song
Copyright is literally the right to copy and that is not our right. That is the right of the entertainment companies (Music Record labels, TV channels, Production studios, movie studios, ETC).
Uploading copyrighted music, tv shows, movies, books, ETC to youTube or anywhere else online is no different than giving out bootleg DVD-R and CD-R copies to your friends. It's giving out unlicensed/unauthorized copies
YouTube has a content identifier and will likely be able to notice the songs you use in an instant.
Record labels, TV studios, Movie studios, ETC. - They give YouTube digital copies of their tv shows, movies, music, ETC and YouTube stores it in a database so they can detect these in user uploads. Plus, Google Owns YouTube and they have all that stuff for sale on the google play store, so they can also match it to something sold on google play.

When a video is uploaded to YouTube, it processes. While it's processing, it is scanned for copyrighted material in their database
if it's a match, the video has a copyright claim on it . With a copyright claim, the video can be
1. blocked worldwide
2. Deleted and the user gets a copyright strike
3. muted video
4. blocked in some countries with Ads placed on the video by the copyright owner
When you see other people's videos with copyrighted material, Either it's
A. Blocked in some countries and your country is one it's not blocked in
B. The material isn't in YouTube's database
C. The user made a derivative work by modifying the material by changing the pitch, speed, color, ETC to throw off the content identifier
It's still copyright infringement unless you have permission or a license from the copyright owner
The videos you can see still run the risk of being deleted if the status of the copyright claim changes. "Blocked in some countries" is always subject to change.
