Their world, their rules. 'Heaven' sees PVRIS set the pace for their second chapter
Another day, another one of our favourite bands returning. As you probably could have guessed though, PVRIS aren’t doing the expected.

Instead of going for the shock, awe and titlted-head confusion of Fall Out Boy or the all-out-bangerfest that was Paramore’s ‘Hard Times’, the first proper taste of PVRIS’ second chapter is less black and white.
A year ago the band set in the motion the change between ‘White Noise’ and the future with ‘You & I’ but those twelve months have changed things. Instead of trying to hold on and fighting to preserve, ‘Heaven’ sees the band at odds with the fall out. Head to head, face to face, this track is fierce and opposing.
But it’s smarter than just that. Unlike most bands, PVRIS aren’t interested in a direct fix. They’re instant more times than they're not but it’s never rule one. Instead Lynn, Alex and Brian are more interested in story-telling, in chapter, verse and the bigger picture. ‘Heaven’ isn’t built to show off new faces or remind you of old, instead it flashes with the whole scene. It's a standalone marvel but there are secrets to uncover, poetry to move. Shades of red and purple hues, there are also new monsters in the dark. Through ‘Heaven’s storm there are glimpses of a new world and the tantalizing desire to explore.
