It has been about 3 years this year since PVRIS released their 2014 debut ‘White Noise’ via Rise Records. The then unknown band has exploded in that time becoming one of the biggest names coming from the alternative scene. Remember, this was all done on once record, released in 2014 with relentless touring. Recently, rumors and talk have spread about the new music they are working on, as they have been releasing mysterious and cryptic mailings to some fans but everyone has been wondering…Can they live up to the hype? Will they fall to the sophomore slump? Well, with the new song ‘Heaven’ being released today, we shall soon see!

New Transcendence had the reports first about the song being released, which by clicking their name you will see the original news. They said that it came out via BBC Radio 1’s “The Rock Show” with Daniel P. Carter in which it is the first song released from the new record which will be out this year via Rise Records. The song as stated above is called ‘Heaven’ but the release date and name of the new record has yet been put out there.

On the show, vocalist Lynn Gunn says that it was started after a previous BBC Radio 1 session which led them to think that was a great way to do theirs, and it seems to be they were exactly right. We could have gotten this last week but due to the praised new Of Mice & Men single ‘Unbreakable’ coming out, it was pushed a week late according to Carter.

About the album, Gunn did say:

“This record is kinda meant to throw you a curve, like, ‘is this more in the heaven zone or the hell zone or is it some weird purgatory thing?’ and it’s this weird juxtaposition, ironic world that you’re thrown into. People will see that visually as well as in a lot of the lyrics.”

That does make two Rise Records bands within a week releasing a new song which seems to show that with these two bands alone, it could be Rise’s year in terms of sales. Many would predict these two albums, should they both come out this year, debut very high on the billboard 200.
