Pure Reason Revolution

Born Again Concerts presents Terrifying Angels Tour: Pure Reason Revolution with special guests Kyros at 229 London on 6 November 2026 at 7pm.

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

Formed at the University of Westminster in 2003, PRR made their mark with their debut single on Alan McGee's Poptones label before signing with Sony BMG. Their debut album, The Dark Third (2006), established the band as one of the UK's distinctive progressive acts, blending influences as diverse as Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, Fleetwood Mac, Kraftwerk and Porcupine Tree. Touring followed, including European dates with Porcupine Tree, Blackfield and 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 released albums through InsideOut Music: Eupnea (2020), Above Cirrus (2022) and Coming Up To Consciousness (2024).

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

Terrifying Angels marks another step forward, with dark and potent material full of riffs, ominous soundscapes and thrashing, grungy layers, melded with the band’s vocal 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 new chapter in a career defined by reinvention.

Bringing a neon technicolour palette to the overcast, TV-static skies of London, Kyros combine progressive rock virtuosity with emotive alt-rock introspection, wrapped in synthpop hooks. The quartet carve out their place in the world of modern progressive music without tying themselves to a specific genre, guided by a simple question: what can they get away with next?
