Zombie (EP)
Zombie is the first EP by American metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada. It was released on August 23, 2010. The band announced they would tour in support of the EP's five year anniversary, where they will play the album in its entirety.
Background
The planning and writing for Zombie began before the summer of 2010. In June it was confirmed that the recording of it was completed and the band then thereafter embarked on their Back to the Roots Tour. Upon its original announcement, frontman Mike Hranica described it as being a "fun" release with "brutal" songs. Its general concept concerns the story of a relentless zombie apocalypse due to Hranica's strong interest on the subject.
Musical style
The band's metalcore musical style evolved considerably after the release of With Roots Above and Branches Below. Taking note of the EP's speedier approach, The Devil Wears Prada stated that Zombie has the "fastest music they've ever written" and even admitted that it draws a strong influence from the likes of Slayer and Hatebreed. It is also the first release by the band that does not feature humorous song titles.

Zombie - EP
by: Devil Wears PradaThere's no time. If your decisions include regret. Then it's already too late.
There's no time. Oh my god they're everywhere.
As clumsy as these beasts may be.
Their mass numbers make u for slow speeds.
Now is when you exert all of your energy.
Don't bother screaming,
Don't bother crying,
Ignore all hope of mercy.
There's no time. If your decisions include regret. Then it's already too late.
There's no time for even the slightest bit of remorse.
Try to contain every ounce of sorrow.
Our hearts have no room for this.
I am made of anger.
There's a proportion to be met between escape and defense.
Now is when you exert all of your energy.
Don't bother screaming,
Don't bother crying,
Ignore all hope of mercy.
There's no time. If your decisions include regret. Then it's already too late.
