PURE REASON REVOLUTION announce new studio album ‘Terrifying Angels’; launch first single ‘Spin Like Fire’
UK tour dates announced for November 2026 with special guests Kyros
“My initial thought of an angel was the cute kind of cherub, but traditionally angels aren't cute or comforting figures,” says Jon Courtney. “They’re often overwhelming, terrifying beings.”
Progressive alternative rockers Pure Reason Revolution return with their new album ‘Terrifying Angels’, their fourth since reemerging in 2019. The record will be released on September 25th, and is preceded by the single ‘Spin Like Fire’, the video for which you can watch now HERE
Following the somewhat gentler, moving themes of sorrow and transience guiding 2024’s ‘Coming up to Consciousness’, the new sound is dark and potent, full of savage riffs, ominous soundscapes, and thrashing, grungy layers - melded, of course, with the band’s signature transcendent harmonies. “The last record was more chill, so it just felt terribly natural to do something grittier, heavier and more aggressive,” Courtney explains.
The core trio of Jon Courtney, Annicke Shireen & Ravi Kesavaram are joined by a cast of collaborators for the album, featuring old friends and new partners alike. The eponymous song was born out of a jam session in Portland, Oregon, with founding bandmate Greg Jong, who also co-wrote “Rumination Ruin”. Meanwhile “Haywire Heart” and “Hold Your Wrath” - respectively the shortest and longest tracks in PRR’s discography - were both written alongside Paul Mullen, the alt-rock legend who fronted Losers and Yourcodenameis:milo. Finally, “Below Radiance” grew out of a section from a composition by Courtney’s mentee Kenny Fitzgerald.
The album also features bass contributions from Mariusz Duda (Lunatic Soul) and Kristoffer Gildenlöw, while mixing duties are once again handled by Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief.
The album (featuring artwork by Carl Glover), will be available as a Limited CD Digipak, Gatefold LP edition and as Digital Album. The full track-listing is below:
1. Spin Like Fire 03:31
