Reason was formed in the early part of 2009, by ex Vandamne/Firebirds/Empire/Crywolf guitarist & songwriter Chris Gyngell and vocalist Paul Mace. The bands mission is to refine the greatest elements of melodic & progressive hard rock & metal into expansive yet direct & powerful songs; something for all fans of pre-grunge power, presented with an up-to-date energy and sentiment. Reason signed to Sweden's Alienation Records in 2011, and their debut album 'The Darkest Star' was released in December 2011 to great critical acclaim.
