Artist Bio:

Forget everything you knew about The Devil Wears Prada.

The technically proficient, guitar-driven American metal that you’ll hear on the band’s fourth studio album Dead Throne is bigger and more balanced than what was contended with on 2009’s breakthrough offering With Roots Above And Branches Below and 2010’s Zombie EP.

Dead Thronesignals a more evolved, more progressive The Devil Wears Prada that is not only larger sonically, but goes much deeper, lyrically. The album contains more than a dozen cutting-edge, razor-sharp, straight-ahead metal tracks that are utterly brilliant not only in their composition, but also in their flawless delivery.

“The songs are inspired by a lot of the things in my heart, per usual,” explains frontman Mike Hranica. “A lot of the subject matter was very specific for this record, which is something that has evolved for me. I’d call the album very ’lyrically intentional.’”

Dead Thronewas expertly produced by Killswitch Engage mad genius Adam Dutkiewicz at his Massachusetts-based recording studio -- a collaboration born out of a mutual admiration first realized in early 2010, when The Devil Wears Prada supported Killswitch Engage on tour.

“We got along with Adam very well and he dropped some hints about how he was interested in working with The Devil Wears Prada,” Hranica said. “Like any heavy band, clearly we've always been curious about working with the dude, so when he was so cool with us, it really felt natural and right. His impact as far as sound and engineering is purely his ability to capture the rawness of our band and reduce the sterility of it; something I've wanted for a very long time. I couldn't be happier with Adam’s influence and I think it works really, really well for us.”

Rounded out by guitarist and clean vocalist Jeremy DePoyster, guitarist Chris Rubey, bassist Andy Trick and drummer Daniel Williams, The Devil Wears Prada wrote all of the songs that appear on Dead Throne before heading into the studio with Dutkiewicz, a man the band trusts and respects.

“Adam did have an impact as far as structure and pulling things out and reorganizing. He sped up a number of the songs, cut measures in half, and generally trimmed fat,” Rubey offered. “Usually, this would be something that we wouldn’t be into coming from a producer, but with Adam it totally worked for the best,” he added.

For Today - "Ekklesia (from Indie Vision Music)

Band: For Today (http://myspace.com/fortoday) Album: Ekklesia Release date: April 1st, 2008 Label: Facedown Records (http://facedownrecords.com) Review by: DavidIVM I've already erased my opening line more times than you have fingers (I hope that's the case, at least), because everyone knows that the opening line is where you "prove your stuff," and this being my first review, I don't want to fall on my face, but I know by the end of this, I'll most likely end up with a bloody nose and a broken ......

for today - Portraits Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: As an avid follower of For Today, and their record label, Facedown Records, I expected great things from the time I heard of the album. But little did I know that I would be continuously pummeled by soring guitar riffs, brutal breakdowns, and some of the most talent in the christian metal market today. Beginning with the sheer brutality and truth of the intro track Immanuel (The Challenger) and ending with the melodic, worshipfull feel of Talmidim (The Servants), this album has honeslty i......

For Today - Ekklesia (from Jesus Freak Hideout)

Imagine strolling into a bar for a Saturday night metal show and witnessing the band on stage proclaiming the venue to be God's house for the evening and leading the circle of scene kids in prayer, worship, and even bible study! Such was my special experience when I attended The Brewery in Raleigh, NC on the night they were featuring Facedown Records newcomers For Today. So I find it extremely fitting that the band has titled their debut album Ekklesia(an ancient Greek word for an assembly of ......

For Today - Portraits (from Indie Vision Music)

1. Immanuel (The Challenger) 2. Saul of Tarsus (The Messenger) 3. Nicodemus (The Seeker) 4. Joel (The Watchman) 5. Immanuel (The Redeemer) 6. Elijah (The Forerunner) 7. Benedictus (Song of Zechariah) 8. Ezekiel (The Visionary) 9. Isaiah (The Willing) 10. Talmidim (The Servants) First off, I'm letting you all know that I did this review completely different then any of my other reviews. I apologize to those in advance who won't enjoy reading all this but I think it is nice to have a different spi......

For Today - Breaker (from ReviewRinseRepeat)

For Today has been known for giving Christian Metal a good name. The lyrics vibrantly paint their faith, their work ethic is hard to beat, and the band does it not for their own glory, but give thanks to God for it all. Portraits, their last release, was a uniquely themed album, putting together a collage of Biblical characters. With their newest release Breaker, the band has a more 'offensive' spirit, inciting believers to action. Spotting Breaker is a series of little interludes, titled "The ......

For Today - Breaker (from Jesus Freak Hideout)

For Today has released three albums in three years. A little superfluous? Maybe, but that doesn't stop them from doing what they love: shredding, blasting, breaking and dropping. Some viewed their first album Ekklesia as a little dry, so Portraits beefed the sound right up. Along with improved musicianship and an overabundance of stellar breakdowns, they double up their skill and sound faster than most. No one would expect them to have another full-length freshly squeezed already. But lo! Breake......

for today - Ekklesia Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: The sound of this album is very unique. It engages brutal breakdowns yet still maintains a very melodic sound to it. Very creative guitar work and just simply amazing drumming. The direction in which For Today has chosen to write their debut is a narrow road, but I think they pulled it off quite well. Mattie's vocals sound in the album are very well complimented with a clean vocal throughout the album. Not necessarily in every song, but still very evident. The breakdowns in this record ar......

For Today - Portraits (from Jesus Freak Hideout)

Last year, Facedown Records group For Today released their debut with the label, Ekklesia.And the band hasn't stopped writing new tunes, as they're already back with a follow-up. With Portraits, For Today brings us ten tracks that all revolve around God's servants. More specifically, they revolve around different characters in the Bible and their respective experiences with God. As of late, Facedown hasn't been a good breeding ground for great metal projects. Several recent outings, such as T......

For Today - Breaker (from Indie Vision Music)

1.The Breaker's Origin 2.Devastator 3.The Advocate 4.The Breaker's Valley 5.Seraphim 6.Arm The Masses 7.White Flag 8.The Breaker's Encounter 9.Phoenix 10.Psalm Of The Son 11.King 12.The Breaker's Commission So how do I start this review? Umm... I guess there is no way of beating around the bush so I will just come out and say it. This is not one of my favorite Facedown/Strike First albums this yea; however, that being said it is still a solid release. There we go I said it. So you can keep r......

for today - Breaker Review (from ultimate-guitar)

Sound: Lets get this out in the open: For Today is one of my favorite bands, ad Mattie has become one of my favorite vocalists. With that in mind, lets get to my review. Soundwise, its not their best. There are A LOT of breakdown, although most are pretty decent. But it definitely gets overwhelming. They also used WAY too many pauses before breakdowns. For Today uses something new to them: Gang Chants. While its different, they probably only needed to use one, but they over-use it. The one used......

For Today - Breaker (from Absolute Punk)

Release date: August 31st, 2010 It's not very easy for a band to gain full recognition for what they do and how they sound, especially when you keep shifting styles, progress at a very fast rate and release 3 albums within three years. But this time, the 3rd time's the charm. Iowa, Christian metalcore natives, For Today have done all of that, but instead of their Junior album becoming a no-name flop, potentially sending the band in a downward spiral to the depths of the "could have been" list, ......
