The Devil Wears Prada have always explored life’s extremes in their music. They’ve never shied away from staring down darkness, dealing with depression, making sense of confusion, soothing anxiety, or grappling with faith, existence, and death. At the same time, they’ve mirrored life’s ups and downs by alternating between crushing heaviness and heart-wrenching melodies. It’s been that way since the beginning. Among a string of seminal releases, Revolver readers named With Roots Above and Branches Below [2009] one of the“5 Greatest Metalcore Albums,”the Zombie EP [2010] and Dead Throne [2011] each debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, and 2021’s ZII marked their sixth straight To p 5 entry on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. They have also tallied nearly a half-a-billion streams —unprecedented for most acts this heavy. The group elevated to another stratosphere with Color Decay [2022], selling out their biggest shows worldwide and receiving some of the highest praise of their career.
