THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA Interviewed In Sacramento

December 15, 2009

El Vato Loco of Capital Chaos conducted an interview with Mike Hranica (lead vocals) and Jeremy DePoyster (rhythm guitar) of the Dayton, Ohio Christian metalcore band THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA prior to the group's December 5, 2009 concert at the Empire in Sacramento, California. Watch the chat below.

Armed with the critically acclaimed CD "With Roots Above and Branches Below", which was released earlier this year, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA — Hranica, DePoyster, guitarist Chris Rubey, bassist Andy Trick, keyboardist James Baney, and Daniel Williams on drums — kicked off the 2009 edition of the Napalm & Noise Tour on November 19 in Rochester, New York at the Water Street Music Hall. The band, who Alternative Press called "one of American metal's brightest lights," is co-headlining the month-long metal extravaganza with ALL THAT REMAINS.

Napalm & Noise is the first tour THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA has headlined since their 43-date, completely-sold-out jaunt last spring, which coincided with the release of "With Roots Above and Branches Below" (Ferret Music),and its #11 debut on The Billboard 200 album chart. Since then, the band played the Vans Warped Tour main stage, and found itself on the cover of Outburn, Alternative Press, HM and AMP, to name just a few.

Live, the six-piece THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA presents a powerful intensity that many other metalcore bands never quite achieve, with savage riffs, bulldozing guitar, thunderous beats, manic synths, and an assault of abrasive vocals. On this tour, the band will perform songs from all three of their releases — 2006's "Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord", 2007's "Plagues", and the new "With Roots Above and Branches Below", including the video track "Danger: Wildman".

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA will support KILLSWITCH ENGAGE on a U.S. tour in February/March 2010. Also appearing on the bill is DARK TRANQUILLITY.
