Yesterday, The Devil Wears Prada announced their new album The Act and now dropped the first single “Lines of Your Hands.” Commenting on the meaning of the song is vocalist Mike Hranica:

“‘Lines of Your Hands’ is a love song that includes a written dialogue we got our pal Sierra to sing on. She totally nailed it and it certainly enhances the song’s storyline and thematic nature. Sonically, we feel that ‘LOYH’ checks the right boxes for first single released from this album. What is upcoming really moves away from where Prada has been the last 10 years.”

Regarding the album, Hranica furthers,

“The Act is our seventh full-length and the most detailed effort of our career. The process was scrupulous in every facet. Jon, who’s played keyboard with the band for the last seven or eight years, produced the album; which is a decision that’s insurmountably snowballed over the past few releases. There is no common theme surrounding every song on the record, although there are notions that inhale and exhale through the LP’s timeline.

This just feels very make it, or break it for us. All bets are in on ‘The Act.’ We tried to make something outside of the norm for rock, metalcore, or heavy music. We often hear commentary that ‘rock is dead’ now; I don’t think it has to be that way though. Look at the corners pop and hip-hop turn. Artists just need to reinvent themselves and make something creative and inventive again. Reinvention is what we’re driving towards.”

The record comes out October 11th via Solid State Records. Pre-order the album here and listen to “Lines of Your Hands” below:
