THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA's 'Dead Throne' Projected To Sell 30K-35K First Week

September 14, 2011

"Dead Throne", the new album from the Dayton, Ohio Christian metalcore band THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, is likely to sell between 30,000 and 35,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on September 13 via Ferret Music.

The follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed "With Roots Above and Branches Below", "Dead Throne" was recorded at Zing Studios in Massachusetts with producer Adam Dutkiewicz (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, TIMES OF GRACE). Additional synth/key production was 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).

"Dead Throne" track listing:

01. Dead Throne
02. Untidaled
03. Mammoth
04. Vengeance
05. R.I.T.
06. My Questions
07. Kansas
08. Born To Lose
09. Forever Decay
10. Chicago
11. Constance
12. Pretenders
13. Hold Fast

With "Dead Throne", the band frontman Mike Hranica, guitarist and clean vocalist Jeremy DePoyster, guitarist Chris Rubey, bassist Andy Trick, keyboardist James Baney and drummer Daniel Williams has turned a corner by turning up the aggression and turning on the emotions. The new album erupts with what THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA has merely hinted at in the past it is a brilliant, emotional, captivating and brutal journey that tackles issues of failed relationships and the perseverance of faith.

"We aim to give listeners and fans something they can enjoy, but we'll also always make songs we personally stand behind," said Hranica. "We'd write differently if we were purely trying to sell albums, that's just not how it works for us. No compromises."

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA has announced "Dead Throne Tour: North America 2011", the first North American leg of the band's 2011 - 2012 worldwide tour. The 37-date headline trek kicks off on November 3 in Milwaukee and will criss-cross the U.S. and Canada over a six-week period. "Dead Throne Tour: North America 2011" will feature WHITECHAPEL, ENTER SHIKARI, and FOR TODAY on all dates.

The "Dead Throne Tour" will come on the heels of the band's October headline trek through Australia that kicks off October 20 in Perth, taking the band to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.
