KASC The Blaze 1330 AM (web site) recently conducted an interview with guitarist and clean vocalist Jeremy DePoyster of the Dayton, Ohio Christian metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada. The chat is now available for streaming using the SoundCloud player below.
The Devil Wears Prada is entering the mobile gaming world with the release of Zombie Slay, a first-person, multi-level, action game specifically designed for mobile devices, that integrates all five songs from the band’s critically-acclaimed 2010 release, Zombie EP.
The desire to provide unique goods for its fans as well as address the decline of traditional sales, radio and video avenues by providing an original and tangible platform for fans to experience the band’s music, is what brought The Devil Wears Prada to explore mobile gaming as a way to achieve both.
Zombie Slay challenges gamers to survive and save survivors in a post-apocalyptic world by killing as many zombies as possible. The game features randomly-generated gameplay at all levels that challenges both casual and hardcore gamers and promotes return-to-game play, an OpenFeint interface that enables players to compete against each other anywhere in the world, and social media integration. The Zombie Slay game is available immediately for $1.99 through iTunes for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, with Android capabilities expected in the near future. Fans can also receive updates on the game at ZombieSlay.com.
The Devil Wears Prada‘s recently released full-length album, Dead Throne, debuted at No. 10 on The Billboard 200 chart. Currently The Devil Wears Prada are touring Australia this October for a rapid fire run of shows in support of their fourth studio album Dead Throne. Michigan’s metal cross post-hardcore outfit We Came As Romans and local juggernauts Dream On Dreamer will complete this impressive package.
