The Devil Wears Prada was formed in 2005 in Dayton, Ohio. They are a metal-core Christian band.The band still is not part of MTV media we all know so well. As one band member posted on their official website, "To any one thing we might be going "mainstream", you're sadly mistaken!" The Devil Wears Prada has several albums out: Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord (2006), Plagues (2007), and With Roots Above and Branches Below (2009).
A lot of people will see the band's name and think back to movie/book by the same title. When asked about it, the band replied that they had taken the name indeed from the book. They believed a theme central to the storyline was the evils of materialism. As it turns out, the book had none of this theme in it. However, after acknowledgement of the initial misunderstanding, they kept the name with the justification that "It's the same concept as our lyrics 'emeralds hold no hope' and many others. What we believe it to mean is that possessions don't matter at all and someday everyone will realize that this is true. When standing before God, he won't care about your sweet Prada scarf or Gucci shoes or whatever. It's a Christian reasoning for the name, we didn't name it to attempt at being fashionable or whatever, " given by Micheal Hranica.
'Louder Than Thunder' is a departure from their typical metal sound in order to highlight their more melodic talents. Anyone who says that scream vocalists only do so because they can't sing, has just been proven wrong. If you liked this song, and are looking for something heavier, I suggest 'Hey John, What's Your Name Again?'
