Dayton, Ohio Christian metalcore band THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA has entered Zing Studios in Massachusetts with producer Adam Dutkiewicz (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, TIMES OF GRACE) to begin recording its new album. Additional synth/key production will be handled by Joey Sturgis (who has worked on all of the THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA records so far) with further assistance on the vocal production by Jeremy McKinnon (A DAY TO REMEMBER).
“Zombie”, the latest EP from THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, sold around 25,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 10 on The Billboard 200 chart.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA‘s previous album, “With Roots Above and Branches Below”, opened with 31,000 units back in May 2009 to land at No. 11.
The “Zombie” EP was previously described as an extremely heavy record that includes songs such as “Survivor” that follows the plight of a man who loses his beloved to the undead and ultimately, in surviving the zombie plague, spends his days warding off the brain-starved and loneliness. The story continues to unfold with the tracks “Outnumbered”, “Escape”, “Revive” and “Anatomy”. Serious THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA fans will note that the “Zombie” EP songtitles are straight-ahead and serious, unlike the “joke” titles that the band’s full-length CDs have been known to feature — “Reptar, King of the Ozone” from 2007’s “Plagues”, as an example.
