- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
For most bands, going the concept record route can be a tricky proposition.
ThereÆs always the potential youÆll get bogged down by that one idea and end
up taking the whole thing way too seriously. You risk coming across as trite
when you churn out epic full-lengths with a dozen tracks about unicorns and
minotaurs. But leave it to a band like crushing American metal six-piece The
Devil Wears Prada to take the concept album model and raze it. Leave it to
The Devil Wears Prada, voted 2009Æs Band of the Year by the readers of
Alternative Press, to make concept records bad-ass again. Pardon the pun,
but for The Devil Wears Prada, 2009 was one hell of a year. And it was late
in 2009 that the bandÆs frontman Mike Hranica decided, while on a tour of the
United Kingdom with post-hardcore luminaries Enter Shikari, that before theyÆd
write and record a new full-length, theyÆd release a five-song EP. The concept?
ôThe whole thing is just completely based upon zombies,ö Hranica explains of
Zombie EP, which drops this August through venerable New Jersey metal and
hardcore label Ferret Music. ôDuring the fall, I was on a real zombie kick. I
just thought, æWhat if we made a zombie song?Æ All it took was me just saying
that to the band, and we already had our hearts set on doing this EP.ö The
flesh-hungry folly of Zombie EP hobbles into stores this summer and you can
catch The Devil Wears PradaÆs infamous live show all summer long on the ôBack
to the Roots Tour,ö the bandÆs first headlining run since their first-ever
South American trek in May. That tour kicks off June 18 at the Ichthus Music
Festival in Wilmore, KY with dates booked through September 4 in Frenchtown,
New Jersey.
Enjoy! And pick this up tuesday on 10" clear vinyl with a sweet comic book!
