History Formation and Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord (2005–2006) The Devil Wears Prada was founded during 2005 in Dayton, Ohio; they derived their band name from the story of the same title. Being founded with all Christian members and maintaining a theme that represents their religion, the group played their first show in 2005 with a fill-in bassist and only one guitarist. Rhythm guitarist Jeremy Depoyster and bassist Andy Trick joined the band soon afterward. They continued playing at local areas in Dayton before recording their demo later in the year, which was titled Patterns of a Horizon. One year after the group recorded their demo and trialed for record labels, Rise Records took the band in with a contract. The band was unsatisfied with the demo, so they re-recorded all of the tracks from the demo for their debut full-length album, Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord. The album was recorded with Joey Sturgis at The Foundation Recording Studio in Connersville, Indiana, and it was released on August 22, 2006. The record's final track features guest vocals courtesy of Cole Wallace, who was formerly part of the band Gwen Stacy. With the release of the album, the band then began touring in multiple areas throughout the country, most notably at 2006's Cornerstone Festival after being recognized as a newer key musical group to Christian metal. Plagues (2007–2008) With Dear Love released at the end of the summer of 2006, The Devil Wears Prada already had songs for their second album prepared by winter of the same year. With a recording duration lasting from that time and leading into spring of 2007, the band's second album, Plagues met its completion by the summer
