The Devil Wears Prada - Dead Throne

The Devil Wears Prada has been a favorite of mine for a while. I first listened to the around 2006 when their first album "Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord" came out. TDWP (The Devil Wears Prada) is a christian metalcore band from Dayton, Ohio. While many people believe their name came from the movie they were a band before the movie, but they did take it from the book, however it has no connection, the meaning behind their name is simply that "possessions have no ultimate meaning."  This meaning is apparent in some of their songs such as "emeralds hold no hope" Mike Hranica (lead vocals) said "When standing before God, he won't care about your sweet Prada scarf or Gucci shoes."  The Band was started in 2005 and is currently signed to Ferret Music. They have release 4 Full length and 1 EP.  The Current lineup is James Baney - keyboards, synthesizers, piano, Jeremy DePoyster - rhythm guitar, clean vocals, Mike Hranica - lead vocals, Chris Rubey - lead guitar, Andy Trick - bass guitar, and Daniel Williams - drums.

The new album dead throne is an album that at first i didn't find appealing because of the vocals, they are different than before, but after accepting them you realize how amazing his vocals are then re-listening I loved it. Listening to the albums all the songs have deep meanings. It is a very heavy album with some amazing breakdowns which TDWP is known for.  Hranica's voclas on this alum are just amazing, with his screams and growls mixed with DePoyster's cleans creats an awesome sound.  This is a very "Epic" and "Band Defining" album for TDWP they have officially made themselves unique with their own style. The Band is on tour for their album "Dead Throne" which i will most likely be attending Nov. 6th at The House of Blues in Chicago.
