The Devil Wears Prada released this explosive full-length album mid-September of this year. Dead Throne is easily their most brutal album following an exciting and powerful Zombie EP. It's loaded with deep and technical strings, explosive drums, dramatizing keyboards and of course the extreme outburst of Mike Hranica's vocals.
The first song, named after the album title, chugs along an intense melody and makes for a great intro to to album with the war-like pounding of the drums. "Born to Lose" has a unique riff and outstanding chorus, along with ups and downs with rhythm. The technicality of the guitars are showcased in "Untidaled" as the deep chugs throughout stop and go with intricate and fast work on the frets. "Mammoth" delivers the punch as it's the heaviest title and somehow shows a little remorse during the chorus. "Forever Decay" has brutal breakdowns and striking climaxes and "Constance" shows the unique guitar skills as there is a very clean, deep riff mid-song. The lyrical potency that TDWP has put into this album are incredible. The use of symbolism is important throughout and the intense emotions that Mike Hranica did such a fantastic job on with his vocals.
Overall, Dead Throne is the most powerful and best album realeased yet by The Devil Wears Prada and they have finally found the last piece of the puzzle that has been missing.
I give this album a 9.0/10
Take a listen to "Born to Lose" here!
