Christian metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada truly has the worst name in the history of music, far surpassing Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Skanorrhea, Hoobastank, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Mister Mister. Until there is a Christian metalcore band called The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (and there should be), Prada will be the suckiest band name ever.

However, Prada is saved. Not by Jesus Christ (who’s more into classic 80s NYHC) but by good musicianship and vocal range, proggy versatility, and original breakdowns. The band uses gothy keys and piano in interesting ways that are only sometimes corny or overdramatically silly. Quirky casio effects also pop in, and are thankfully used sparingly and well.

Then again, they also have over-the-top gothy instrumentals called “Redemption” and “Salvation.” And their name is The Devil Wears Prada. OMGWTFLOL.

Bottom Line: Proggy, interesting metalcore that’s unfortunately religious and sometimes silly.
Notable Tracks: Gauntlet of Solitude, Who Speaks Spanish Colon Quesadilla
