style
music
The band's style ranges from high screams and deep growls to clear, high-pitched vocals. The mixture of electronic post-hardcore / hardcore elements with the typical metalcore, such as the use of breakdowns or double bass drum volleys, is particularly striking . Since the Zombie EP , their style has stood out from the earlier albums with the rarer clean chants and more progressive elements.
In an earlier interview with East Coast Romper magazine, the band named Underoath and Still Remains as their musical influences.
Texts
Lyrically, The Devil Wears Prada often deal with the social and ethical understanding of many people today. Sometimes her texts are also anti- idealistic and anti- materialistic . In contrast to the profound and serious lyrics, the titles of most songs are to be understood as a gag or play on words , which usually have no relation to the text of the song. However, since the Zombie EP from 2010, the songs have had normal titles.
