Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord (CD)

Ohio metalcore act the Devil Wears Prada may share a name with a Meryl Streep film, but the reason for the name has a lot more to do with an anti-materialist attitude and their Christian faith. Part of the changing face of faith-based heavy music, the band is as unhinged and energetic as any of their secular brethren and never hits their listeners over the head with their beliefs. They thrive on the dynamic between harsh screams and soaring clean vocals, with equal time for chugging hardcore and more melodic instrumentation and experimentation, with a real sense of humor.

The full-length debut by the Devil Wears Prada shows that as dubious as the concept of Christian metal might sound to the unconvinced (and/or the unsaved), it's not necessarily an intrinsically bad idea. This Dayton quintet is fairly wide-ranging in its influences, flavoring the standard blastbeats-and-unison-riffs template songs with keyboards out of European symphonic metal, emo-tinged clean vocals (courtesy of guitarist Jeremy DePoyster) and, most surprisingly, a sense of playfulness that's largely missing from both CCM and metal. Even aside from some jokey song titles ("Who Speaks Spanish, Colon Quesadilla"), there's a lightness of spirit evident in these songs that elevates Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord above the standard-issue metal ghetto. Essentially a re-recording of the band's 2005 debut EP, Patterns of a Horizon, plus two excellent new songs, "Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over" and "Texas Is South," this album features better sound and tighter arrangements than the debut, rendering the earlier record necessary only for completists. ~ Stewart Mason
