TERRIFYING ANGELS TOUR
PURE REASON REVOLUTION
with special guests KYROS

 
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 the 
announcement 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. 

Bringing a neon technicolour palette to the overcast, TV-static skies of London, KYROS are a study in contradictions: progressive rock virtuosity meets emotive alt-rock introspection, all wrapped in the sequined glitter of stadium-sized synthpop hooks. Playful, adventurous, and deeply sincere, the quartet are too busy carving out their place in the ever-evolving world of modern progressive music to worry about tying themselves to a specific genre. At their core, a simple question--what can they get away with next?
