After PRR split in 2011, Jon Courtney moved to Berlin where a mutual acquaintance introduced him to Sammi Doll, who was in the middle of a IAMX tour that was going a bit awry. They started working together and put out the album No Atonement as Bullet Height.
The album was heavier than anything PRR had ever done, but with PRR alumni Anders on drums and his wife Susanne on backing vocals (as she had done on Hammer and Anvil), there was certainly plenty to recall the guitarist's former band, perhaps most strikingly Wild Words.
Then things go slightly strange. After a few tours together, the band went off to the States to tour but without Jon. A few messages are put out to say that this was always the plan but always rang a little hollow, and the next thing you know PRR seem to be back on... Will there be more Bullet Height? Who knows?
BH's discography is made up of a single album and lots of streaming only tracks. This is the first time that I've had to worry about streaming only stuff. I've included it, but it feels so ephemeral that it doesn't sit entirely comfortably - it's just an album track with a different photo in most cases. What do you think? Should such stuff be in a discography if it's no different from the album versions?
