The Devil Wears Prada release new song ‘Chemical’

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA have released a new song!

The new song, titled Chemical, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album The Act which is scheduled to be released in October this year.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “musically I love that Chemical bends lines. It’s not so much rock, not metal, not post-hardcore. I think that’s a big part of The Act’s character and Chemical is a hooky one to exemplify that. It always felt like a special track to us and it’s one that pushes the boundaries of what THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA can sound like.”

Watch the official lyric video for Chemical here: 

The group, Mike Hranica [vocals], Jeremy DePoyster [vocals, guitar], Andy Trick [bass], Kyle Sipress [guitar], Jonathan Gering [keys, synthesizers], and Giuseppe Capolupo [drums], bend and break all boundaries on their seventh full-length and debut for Solid State Records, The Act. Pulling plain-spoken poetry through distorted discord and dissonance, the six-piece delivers a dynamic and definitive statement.

Regarding the album, Hranica says, “The Act is our seventh full-length and the most detailed effort of our career. The process was scrupulous in every facet. Jon, who’s played keyboard with the band for the last seven or eight years, produced the album; which is a decision that’s insurmountably snowballed over the past few releases. There is no common theme surrounding every song on the record, although there are notions that inhale and exhale through the LP’s timeline. This just feels very make it, or break it for us. All bets are in on The Act. We tried to make something outside of the norm for rock, metalcore, or heavy music. We often hear commentary that ‘rock is dead’ now; I don’t think it has to be that way though. Look at the corners pop and hip-hop turn. Artists just need to reinvent themselves and make something creative and inventive again. Reinvention is what we’re driving towards.”
