With Roots Above and Branches Below

Album ∙ Metal ∙ 2009

For their third album, The Devil Wears Prada flesh out their crushing approach to metalcore, vacillating between dramatic extremes with brutality and finesse. Jeremy DePoyster's melodic, smooth-as-marble vocals provide an earnest contrast to Mike Hranica's gnashed-teeth growls on tracks like "Dez Moines" and the death metal-inflected "Ben Has a Kid." Meanwhile, the album’s subtle sonic details—the orchestral stabs and mincing piano on "Big Wiggly Style," the icy synthesizer bridge on "Danger: Wildman"—add a breathtakingly cinematic sense of scope.
