The Devil Wears Prada have released their newest single “Watchtower” via Solid State Records. Accompanied by a cinematic music video, “Watchtower” goes to show why The Devil Wears Prada have been metalcore mainstay for so long. Sporting a fast riff in verses that will absolutely warrant circle pits live, a massive chorus that crowds will love, and a bone crushing breakdown, this newest single is the full package. Check out the music video for “Watchtower” below:
“The idea of this song is about a person being intentionally difficult even though happiness wants to find him/her. In handling my own mental health struggles, I’ve found that I oftentimes never choose contentment on a fundamental basis: almost like I’ve skipped Step One. The narrator of ‘Watchtower’ is afraid to approach Step One and instead flees to perceive his/her life as a sort of passive overlooker instead.“ |
Like their previous single “Sacrifice“, “Watchtower” is, without a doubt, one of the strongest tracks the long-standing group have released to date. These two singles are surely setting up The Devil Wears Prada for their best album release to date (if these are to be a part of said album).
