released. At the same time, they announced that their eighth studio album Color Decay would be released on September 16, 2022. On July 26, the band released the fourth single "Time" along with a music video. On September 13, three days before the album release, the band published the fifth and final single "Broken". Musical style and influences In their early years, the band and their works were described by some sources as metalcore and Christian metal. According to Audio Ink Radio, "by fusing the finest elements of American metal-core and European melodic metal, Dayton, Ohio's the Devil Wears Prada are living the heavy music dream: delivering metal with a slight facelift to the next generation of headbangers." The band members' beliefs, and the themes in their music, also led to their genre being described as "Christian metalcore". In 2021, Sipress stated in a Reddit AMA in response to a question as to whether they still considered their music to be Christian-based that "we have not promoted the band a [sic] being Christian for a looong time. Most of us aren't Christians, but we do aim at writing music that is fun to play!". Band name Despite speculations that the band named themselves after the film of the same title, it turned out that they were formed before the film was released. They have explained that their band name is based on an anti-materialistic mindset and derived their name from the novel, The Devil Wears Prada. At the time of naming the band, the members assumed that the novel included anti-materialism as its moral, until later discovering that the novel did not feature this as its message at all. Despite making this mistake, the band members refused to change the name and decided that they would create a new, non-materialistic definition indicating that at the Last Judgment, God will not look at people's possessions.
