Pallas is a progressive rock band based in the U.K. They were one of the bands at the vanguard of what was termed the “neo-progressive” movement during progressive rock’s second-wave revival in the early eighties (other major players included Marillion, IQ, Twelfth Night, and Pendragon).
Beginning life as Pallas Athene, they dropped the latter moniker and began hitting the club circuit at the beginning of a grassroots revival of full-blown progressive rock; which, at the time, was extremely unfashionable due to the overwhelming influence of pop and New Wave. They eventually secured a successful headlining run at London’s Marquee Club (a hotbed for the neo-progressive revival). A highlight of their set at that time and also a highlight of the early Marquee shows (until the Marquee threatened to ban the band if they did not stop playing it) was a track called “The Ripper”. A fifteen-minute epic about child abuse, insanity, rape and murder, the climax of “The Ripper” featured lead singer Euan Lowson dressed half as an old man, half as a woman, acting out a chilling rape on stage (it should be remembered that the infamous Yorkshire Ripper case was still, at the time, a relatively fresh news item).
Releasing a self-produced LP entitled Arrive Alive (recorded in Scotland in 1981), Pallas was courted by EMI records (who had just signed contemporaries Marillion) and went into the studio with Yes/ELP engineer Eddie Offord to record the LP that would become The Sentinel.
