LP – Sea Blue Vinyl, Gatefold jacket with insert

The Devil Wears Pradas 2013 album 8:18 once again pulled off the neat trick of topping the Pop (#6), Metal (#2), and Christian (#1) charts (the title itself is a reference to the Bible verse Romans 8:18, which says that our present-day suffering pales next to the glory that is to come). Which kinda sums up TDWPs appeal: what other band can shift so seamlessly from moments of visceral madness to spells of spiritual grace?

8:18 marked the swan song for founding band members Chris Rubey and Daniel Williams, and they certainly went out in style; the addition of some hardcore punk (Black & Blue, Number Eleven) and straight metal (Rumors) ingredients to TDWPs melodic metalcore cauldron makes for a heady brew indeed. This sea blue pressing comes inside a gatefold with beautifully austere artwork plus an insert. A real artistic statement on every level.
