The Devil Wears Prada share “Nightfall” from ‘ZII’ EP

The Devil Wears Prada — Mike Hranica [vocals], Jeremy DePoyster [vocals, guitar], Mason Nagy [bass], Kyle Sipress [guitar], Jonathan Gering [keys, synthesizers], and Giuseppe Capolupo [drums] — will release the much-anticipated ‘ZII’ EP on May 21 via Solid State Records. It’s a discordant, dissonant exercise in excellence. Pre-order the ‘ZII’ EP HERE.

The band has just shared the new track “Nightfall.” Listen HERE [YouTube embedded below].



Sonically, I think ‘Nightfall’ is a celebration of what the band did for a long while,” Hranica says. “I remember that it’s the first song I completed vocally and I know that it’s straightforward — very much straightforward. Lyrically, an atmosphere is created concerning the attack rather than the anatomic details of the undead themselves. It’s a thumper with no introduction to kick off the EP.

The Devil Wears Prada have also planned a livestream event for Saturday, May 15, during which they will play the entire ‘ZII’ EP in full. Fans can purchase tickets along with the pre-order of the EP.

The original ‘Zombie’ EP dropped all the way back in August 2010 and remains an intense fan favorite. While not a chronological release in the TDWP catalog, ‘ZII’ is the next chapter.

There’s no question that the Zombie EP is a fan favorite and a record that really set the pace for us as a heavier band,” The Devil Wears Prada previously said, offering insight into this EP in relation to their catalog. “A goal we had for this EP was to pay tribute to ZI while honing in on the characteristics that we enjoy about heavy music today and the directions we want to see it heading. We just had our first song go to radio with ‘Chemical’, and now in the same year, we will be releasing the heaviest music of our career with ZII. This isn’t just a new chapter for the Zombie EP; this is a new chapter for us as a band, and an opportunity to lean into both sounds in ways that feel better than ever. We’ve found our footing with these six members. Now we’re stepping on the gas and not letting up.

TDWP effectively summed things up, saying, “Before, there were five songs about how to fend off the apocalypse. Now, there are five songs of hopelessness against the hoard.
