Review:
Dead Throne is the sound of a band maturing into their genre and truly becoming united. With some of the greatest growls and screams to carry this album it makes for a very aggressive experience the whole way through. Most of the songs barely make it over three minutes, which just helps push the album and crush your ear drums. The constant change up is welcome with a very ambient aspect of metalcore, showing the talent of all the instruments. “My Questions” is a ridiculous metalcore shredding song that will have fans losing their freaking minds. The Keyboardist shines through on R.I.T. and “Vengeance” is a great way of judging how much this band has grown and evolved. The Devil Wears Prada has come an amazing distance in their genre, this album is a testament to that. I am thoroughly impressed with how vast the improvement was, something so rarely seen in metalcore.
