Roadrunner Records has announced the release of the long awaited label debut from The Devil Wears Prada. “8:18” – which follows 2011’s breakthrough, “Dead Throne” – and arrives in stores and at all digital retailers on September 16TH.
As well as announcing a headline North American tour -“The 8:18 Tour”, which will see the band accompanied by The Ghost Inside, Volumes and Texas during November and December, the band will play previously announced UK dates in October, kicking off on the 1st October at Portsmouth Wedgwood Rooms and finishing at Sheffield’s Corporation on the 15th. Singer Mike Hranica commented,”We’ve loved playing two new songs over the course of this year, and with that being said we’re really excited to debut more material live. For me, ‘8:18’ is meant to reflect a live sense of vocals, so doing another headline tour like this is going to be excellent.”

Long acclaimed as among one of the most potent and provocative bands in modern American metal, The Devil Wears Prada have made a massive leap forward with the stunning “8:18.” The album was produced by the band along with producer/engineer Matt Goldman (Underoath, The Chariot), with Killswitch Engage’s Adam Dutkiewicz stepping in as executive producer. It sees the band driving their relentless sonic approach with more might than ever before, giving extreme power to frontman Mike Hranica’s grim, emotional lyricism.
