Prayers For Atheists
New Hymns For An Old War
From: Providence, RI
Prayers For Atheists’ New Hymns For An Old War is a blazing hardcore record with all the ingredients of a classic—songs about the mosh pit, anthems about the bonds of friendship, shout-outs to their home town, and most importantly manifestos on changing the world. Most of the tracks are played at break-neck speed with mosh-ready breakdowns with vocals that split the difference between screaming and singing (while never degenerating into the cheap thrills of screamo). What sets PFA apart from standard hardcore fare is their relentless positivity and an almost hip-hop groove. I was inspired enough to invest $20 in the deluxe release, complete with CD, digital download, T-shirt, bumper sticker, and patch.
