Two decades in and The Devil Wears Prada are still finding ways to reinvent themselves. The metalcore veterans have just announced their ninth studio album, Flowers, dropping November 14 via Solid State Records—and it feels like a milestone moment. To kick things off, they’ve released not one, but two brand new tracks: “Where the Flowers Never Grow” and “Wave.”
Alongside the music, they’ve also unveiled a short film titled That Same Place Where the Flowers Never Grow, further pushing the creative boundaries that have kept them vital all these years.
Guitarist and clean vocalist Jeremy DePoyster describes “Where the Flowers Never Grow” as a song about the darker corners of the mind—the place we all wrestle with, no matter how good things may look on the outside. It’s heavy in theme but honest in a way that fans have always connected with. And according to DePoyster, Flowers as a whole represents 20 years of highs, lows, and the constant fight to make sense of the chaos that life throws at us.
If you’ve been following Prada, you know this is more than just another album cycle. The band is at one of the biggest points of their career, fresh off the Summer of Loud amphitheater tour and celebrating their first-ever appearance on both Mediabase and Billboard’s Active Rock charts with the single “For You.” Now, they’re gearing up for their biggest shows yet, supporting Ice Nine Kills’ huge UK and EU arena tour this winter—joined by Creeper, no less. Tickets for those dates are already up for grabs, so fans can catch Prada bringing Flowers to some of the biggest stages they’ve ever played.
With a tracklist that balances crushing heaviness with moments of raw introspection, Flowers feels like the culmination of everything The Devil Wears Prada have built over the past twenty years. It’s proof that they’re still growing, still experimenting, and still finding new ways to connect. In short—Prada are in full bloom.
