With Roots ...

With Roots Above and Branches Below
... With roots with roots =
I think The Devil Wears Prada (hereinafter TDWP) have ever tried in their discography from their roots or rather get away early.
This trend is felt on this CD.
The singer Mike Hranica not change quite as often between his deep growls and his screamo Parts.
He remains true to his rather screamo voice, but what the whole music not adversely counteracts because precisely this "voice" ruled the singer very well.
Although I personally really more growls could be on the disc.

For musical style of the CD you have to say is that less trance influences on it, than in recent discs.
What has then indeed identified TDWP (for me), but does not bother when it is less.
The songs are still great composed and put together, and the transitions are partially typical unrecognizable TDWP.

All in all, it must be said that this CD does not sound like the old CD's.
I think the band on this CD easily found, especially the development of the singer Mike ... from the first CD until now the voice has just developed steadily in the direction where she is now finally arrived with this CD.
I find this development super ... finally a development of a band that has not meant that I no longer like the music.

So I can really recommend this CD to anyone TDWP fan and also fans of screamo / metalcore of the night in my opinion does not sound like anyone else.

By the way:
How can I evaluate the CD without them has already appeared in Germany?
