The Devil Wears Prada have premiered a music video for their new track ‘Sacrifice’. The band commented of this newly shared single, “‘Sacrifice‘ is a song of defeat: its character is exhausted, relinquishing will in an abusive relationship. There is nothing left to fight for.”
The group are currently out on the road with We Came As Romans (celebrating “To Plant A Seed“), Dayseeker and Hollow Front.
The Devil Wears Prada have launched a live video for their track ‘Chemical‘. The footage is taken from their livestream event that took place this past May. The song itself currently stands as the band’s second most popular track on Spotify, recently surpassing over 10 million streams on the service. “Dez Moines” sits at #1 with nearly 12.5 million streams.
The group will be out this fall with We Came As Romans (celebrating “To Plant A Seed“), Dayseeker and Hollow Front.
The Devil Wears Prada frontman Mike Hranica has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $3,118 USD. Through the campaign he hopes to raise that sum to cover the cost of his missing front tooth, which he once again broke in early 2020 playing hockey.
He commented of the campaign:
“Welp, a puck broke out my implant early 2020 and it’s time to get my face fixed again.
A couple things:
-I recognize this is cosmetic and there are far, far, far more important causes to donate money to. I’m not asking for help out of vanity or necessity; but like so many, times have been tough during the pandemic. I have not been able to go about my occupation as per usual.
The Devil Wears Prada have premiered ‘Nightfall’, the opening track from their “ZII” EP. That outing is the follow-up to their 2010 release, “Zombie” and is headed for a May 21st release date. You can hear it live much sooner however, as this Saturday, May 15th, will see the group perform “ZII” in full with tickets available through ziiundeadstream.com.
Vocalist Mike Hranica commented:
“Sonically, I think ‘Nightfall‘ is a celebration of what the band did for a long while. I remember that it’s the first song I completed vocally and I know that it’s straightforward — very much straightforward. Lyrically, an atmosphere is created concerning the attack rather than the anatomic details of the undead themselves. It’s a thumper with no introduction to kick off the EP.”
The Devil Wears Prada will release a new EP, “ZII”, on May 21 via Solid State Records. The track ‘Termination‘, taken from the effort, can be streamed below.
“I learned during the Covid-19 pandemic to imagine how a virus can seriously compromise our lives,” says vocalist Mike Hranica. “‘Termination’ makes mention of that and the greed that so often comes when humans fend only for themselves or when lying to protect reputation. I didn’t want to remake any part of the lyrical imaginings of the first EP, and the transformation mentioned in ‘Termination’ is a part of the new territory I hoped to create for ‘ZII’.”
The original “Zombie” EP dropped all the way back in August 2010 and remains an intense fan favorite. While not a chronological release in the The Devil Wears Prada catalog, “ZII” is the next chapter.
