Metal Mick from
Metal Gods TV conducted an interview with
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA — the Christian metalcore band from Dayton, Ohio — at this year's
Download festival, which was held June 13-15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK. Watch the six-minute chat below.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA recently inked a deal with
Ferret Music.
Commented guitarist/vocalist
Jeremy DePoyster: "It's the best situation we could ask for.
Ferret is run like an independent label where you know everyone there and work with them but they have the resources of a major label. We've also become really good friends with
Carl [
Severson of
Ferret] and everyone there really believes in what we are doing. It helps when the people you work with and who work for you are just as stoked on your music as you are."
Carl Severson of
Ferret echoed the sentiment by saying, "The band and I met over a year a ago and just clicked. It was the right vibe, reminiscent of the kinship I've felt with some of the longtime Ferret artists."
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA has been riding high over the last couple of years with its newest album,
"Plagues" (
Rise Records, 2007), having sold over 65,000 copies in the U.S. Multi-page features have appeared in
Alternative Press,
Revolver and
Metal Edge, among other publications. Most recently, the band completed a headlining run of the UK and performed at the prestigious
Download festival.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA plans to begin recording a new album at the end of the year for a 2009 release.
