Pure Reason Revolution Hammer & Anvil

2010, Abrasively industrial, only to evolve into a cathartic chant backed by an electronic pulse, Pure Reason Revolution's newest record begins with a bang. ´Fight Fire With Fire` is what every PRR fan had hoped for as a follow up to AMOR VINCIT OMNIA. Chloe Alper's vocals punch through the carefully laid plain made by guitars and synthesizer. Her defiance is palatable. It is a fitting start to what will be, without a doubt, the turning point for this band, as they break for good with their respectable, prog-rock origins. They took a new route with last year's album and took a small amount of criticism for it as well. However, the fans they won over seem to have encouraged them to forge even further into this electro-industrial territory.
