The Devil Wears Prada
FIVE — Jacksonville, FL

The Devil Wears Prada emerged from Youngstown, Ohio in 2006, naming themselves after the Meryl Streep film and building a catalog of aggressive metalcore that actually evolved over time. Their early records established them as bruising but technically competent, with albums like 'Zombie EP' and 'Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord' showcasing both pulverizing breakdowns and moments of surprising restraint. By the time they hit 'With Roots Above and Branches Below,' they'd learned to balance their heaviness with actual songwriting. They've stayed relatively consistent in their approach — layered guitars, harsh vocals traded with occasional clean singing, and the kind of production that sounds expensive — without chasing trends or abandoning their base. Not reinventing the wheel, but making decent music within their lane.

Crowds lose their minds in a controlled way. Kids in the pit actually move with purpose rather than flailing. The band plays tight, the stage presence is businesslike rather than theatrical, but the energy reads as confident. Expect walls of sound and a room that genuinely feels heavy.

The Devil Wears Prada touched down in Jacksonville in April 2022 at St. Augustine Amphitheatre, running through a setlist that hit both the brutal and the introspective. They opened with "Watchtower" and moved through "Danger: Wildman" and "Termination" — the kind of early material that built their reputation for uncompromising metalcore. "Chemical" landed somewhere between chaos and control, while "Dez Moines" and "Sacrifice" showed why they've managed to stay relevant across two decades of scene shifts. They closed the seven-song set with "Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over," a track that proved they're comfortable leaning into the absurdist humor that's always lurked beneath their heaviest moments. Jacksonville doesn't see them often, which made the appearance feel like something worth marking down.

Jacksonville's metal community is smaller than you'd find in Tampa or Orlando, but it's built on genuine dedication rather than transience. The city's never been a major tour hub for metalcore, which means bands that actually show up here — especially ones with The Devil Wears Prada's staying power — tend to draw people who've been waiting. The local scene skews toward death metal and hardcore, so when a band this unafraid of their own weirdness rolls through, it lands differently.

Stay in the Riverside neighborhood—tree-lined streets, actual character, and close enough to venues without feeling disconnected from the city. Orsay has the kind of kitchen that justifies driving across town: French-inflected food that doesn't announce itself. Spend an afternoon at the Cummer Museum if you want something quiet before the show, or walk the San Marco area and remind yourself what civic architecture used to look like. The venue itself will be worth your attention—Jacksonville books serious acts, and they still know how to put on a show that doesn't get drowned out by the room.
