About this album

With Roots Above and Branches Below is the third studio album by American band The Devil Wears Prada. The album was released on May 5, 2009.

Background
During their 2008 tour, The Devil Wears Prada began playing “I Hate Buffering” to live audiences. Singer Mike Hranica said, “We’re really excited for this album. It’s definitely going to be darker, heavier, and more epic. Expect a much heavier, more metal record. ” Drummer Daniel Williams states that the new album will be wilder and crazier containing parts that repeat, like choruses, and James Baney says that the new album will be more mechanical, but still containing their same distinct style. With Roots Above and Branches Below entails a more aggressive and steady vocal style than in the two previous albums. Album art was illustrated by Dan Seagrave, who is well known for his work for metal acts ranging from Morbid Angel, Demon Hunter and Decrepit Birth.

Release
The album was released on May 5, 2009 through Ferret Music. With Roots Above and Branches Below was released in both a standard CD version, and a deluxe CD/DVD version, with the full length CD, and a DVD that contains a making of the album that was featured on their myspace. There are some clips that were deleted from their myspace that are featured on the DVD. The album debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 31,000 the first week. Additionally, the album also peaked at number one on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart.
