Stream the first preview of the ambitious, multi-genre project with the single, “Reasons”
Dubstep frontrunner Excision and and frequent collaborator Wooli have paired with Ohio metalcore heavy-hitters The Devil Wears Prada for an electrifying new track, “Reasons.” As the divide between electronic music and metal continues to narrow, the soaring track perfectly balances both genres, with signature Devil Wears Prada ethereal cleans meeting emotionally charged screams and cracking breakdowns.
“When Excision and Wooli approached us about working together on a song, we were so stoked for the opportunity to dive into uncharted territory for The Devil Wears Prada,” the band states. “It was fun injecting the lyrical and musical flavors from Color Decay onto an EDM track, and the emotional and aggressive nature of our sound fit perfectly with their mastery of modern bass music.”
“For this one, we wanted to bring together the heavy bass that our fans love with the raw energy of metal-influenced vocals. It was awesome working with Wooli and The Devil Wears Prada on this cross-genre collab,” states Excision.
“Excision and I originally started this a while ago and knew we needed a band like The Devil Wears Prada on it,” says Wooli. “This was my first time working with a band and I am extremely pleased with how this came along. Working with The Devil Wears Prada was an incredible experience. They are insanely talented writers and artists. I’m super excited for this one to come out!”
The ebb and flow of the track rises and falls with perfect precision, with each drop well placed and flawlessly paced – a move one could expect from an Excision/Wooli collab after the dubstep superstars teamed with post-hardcore titans I Prevail for a dubstep crossover in 2020.
