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.

We are thrilled to announce the next two bands for the Summers End Festival, to be held at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire on October 9, 10, 11 Aberdonian legends Pallas will be familiar to most Prog fans as forerunners of the 80s revival. Following up their brilliant 2005 album "Dreams of Men", the band promise a return to the story first begun in "The Sentinel" 25 years ago in their new album due for release later in 2009. We are therefore very excited to welcome the band for their first appearance at Summers End - and not before time!

NEW ALBUM NEWS!!! XXV: Pallas Plan Pre-Post-aPocalyptic Project It's unclear whether this is a 're-imagining' or a straightforward sequel, but the new Pallas album sees the band returning to the extended musical themes and narrative arc of 'The Sentinel' album. It's twenty-five years since the Cyrstal Dome vanished beneath the ocean waves. East no longer threatens West, but already the lessons learned from that confrontation have been forgotten. Humanity has found new ways to express its darker side, and growing insecurity and diminishing resources have exposed fresh divisions. Has the time come for The Sentinel to rise again? New Website - with exclusive download Demo and Live 'albums' - due February 28 2009
