Album Review: Pale Horse Ritual – ‘Diabolic Formation’

Album Review: Pale Horse Ritual – ‘Diabolic Formation’

Album Review: The Devil Wears Prada – ‘Flowers’

by Jordeana Bell | Nov 12, 2025 | Reviews

MySpace was the Overlook Hotel of the internet; everybody thought it was a party until they realized they’d been wandering through a hedge maze built by sociopaths with webcams. Somewhere in that chaos, The Devil Wears Prada became a compass. They didn’t...
