The Devil Wears Prada have always explored life’s extremes in their music. They’ve never shied away from staringdown 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 crushingheaviness and heart-wrenching melodies. It’s been that way since the beginning.

They have also tallied nearlya half-a-billion streams—unprecedented for most acts this heavy. The group elevated to another stratosphere withColor Decay[2022], selling out their biggest shows worldwide and receiving some of the highest praise of theircareer. Beyond acclaim fromNew Noise Magazine,KERRANG!,OUTBURN,Loudwire, andHysteria,MetalHammerwent as far as to rave,“Color Decaymight just be their finest hour.”After over two decades of makingmusic, their union as bandmates—but more importantly as friends—is stronger than ever.
