Following the success of their 20th anniversary celebrations for The Dark Third, British progressive rock innovators Pure Reason Revolution are entering an exciting new chapter with theannouncement of their forthcoming album, Terrifying Angels, and a UK tour.

Formed at the University of Westminster in 2003, PRR quickly made their mark with their debut single on Alan McGee's Poptones label before signing with Sony BMG. Their acclaimed debut album, The Dark Third (2006), established the band as one of the UK's most distinctive progressive acts, blending influences as diverse as Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, Fleetwood Mac, Kraftwerk and Porcupine Tree. Extensive touring followed, including European dates with Porcupine Tree, Blackfield & Mew. After releasing Amor Vincit Omnia (2009) and Hammer and Anvil (2010), the band called it a day in 2011 before returning in 2019 for a festival performance that reignited both the band and its fanbase. Since then, PRR have enjoyed a remarkable resurgence through InsideOut Music with the critically acclaimed albums Eupnea (2020), Above Cirrus (2022) and Coming Up To Consciousness (2024), reaffirming their reputation as one of progressive rock's most inventive and emotionally resonant bands.

Having recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of The Dark Third with acclaimed shows at London's Islington Assembly Hall, Manchester Academy and across mainland Europe, PRR are turning their attention to what's next.

Terrifying Angels promises another bold step forward, dark and potent, full of savage riffs, ominous soundscapes, and thrashing, grungy layers – melded, of course, with the band’s signature transcendent harmonies. The accompanying tour will feature brand-new material alongside fan favourites spanning their catalogue, plus The Dark Third in full.

Some bands revisit the past. Pure Reason Revolution build on it, with Terrifying Angels opening a striking new chapter in a career defined by reinvention.
