New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Roadrunner Records) Roadrunner Records has signed The
Devil Wears Prada (vocalist Mike Hranica, lead guitarist Chris Rubey, rhythm guitarist Jeremy DePoyster, bassist Andy Trick, and drummer
Daniel Williams). Known as one of the most potent and powerful bands in modern American metal, The
Devil Wears Prada will make their label debut with an as-yet-untitled new LP, executive produced by Adam Dutkiewicz of
Killswitch Engage with producer/engineer Matt Goldman, expected to arrive fall 2013.
TDWP frontman Mike Hranica says, "We've put so much time into the new songs already, and we're really happy where things are sitting. I think with Roadrunner in the picture, it's only more encouraging as far as compiling a record that we can be proud of and a record that exists well as Dead Throne's successor."
The
Devil Wears Prada is heralding this announcement with a nationwide co-headlining trek with As I Lay Dying. The highly anticipated tour gets underway February 22 at Ventura, California's Majestic Ventura Theater Half House and continues through early April (see dates below). TDWP and AILD will be accompanied on the road by For Today, The
Color Morale (February 22 - March 7), and The Chariot (March 8 - April 4). For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.tdwpband.com/tour.
Furthermore, Mike Hranica has released his brand new book, One & Half Hearts, a collection of inspirations behind the group's breakout record Dead Throne. One & Half Hearts looks back on the creation of Dead Throne with an in-depth exploration of its lyrical context. Copies of One & Half Hearts are available now at mikehranica.com, tdwpstore.com, amazon.com and will be available for purchase on the band's upcoming tour.
The Devil Wears Prada's 2011 breakthrough, Dead Throne, debuted at #10 on the Billboard Top 200 and cemented the group's status as one of the most electrifying acts in modern metal. An incendiary live force, the band has proven relentless road warriors. In addition to countless headline dates and festival sets, recent highlights include spending summer 2012 alongside Slipknot, Slayer, Anthrax, and Motörhead on the Rockstar
Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.
