As Ohio’s premier Christian Metalcore band, The Devil Wears Prada have been a staple act in the metal scene worldwide for years.
Taking their name from the novel of the same title and bounded together by their shared Christian faith, the band formed in 2005 and began playing shows in the area before they had even settled on their line-up.
When the five piece was in place though, the band moved forward quickly, recording a demo to ship to labels with the intention of getting a deal. After being picked up by powerhouse label Rise Records, the band re-recorded the tracks from their demo to make their debut album ‘Dear Love: A Beautiful discord’.
Not wanting to wait around though the band began work on their second album almost immediately and in the summer of 2007 ‘Plagues’ was released. The album spawned singles which made it onto music television shows and gave them the popularity boost they needed for the album to shift over 30 thousand more copies than their debut, peaking at 57 on the Billboard charts.
From here on out the band’s popularity was set in stone and only grew as the band began to tour with every big name on the circuit. Becoming a staple at the Vans Warped Tour helped to reach new fans as well as shows with everyone from Underoath to A Day To Remember and even European dates with Enter Shikari. With 3 more popular albums released since then, the band are undoubtedly one of the premier names in Christian Metal.
