Porcupine Tree are an English progressive rock band known for blending atmospheric soundscapes, heavy riffs, and intricate songwriting into a distinctive modern prog identity.

Formed in the late 1980s by Steven Wilson, the project evolved from experimental, psychedelic beginnings into a full band recognised for its emotional depth and technical precision. Albums like In Absentia, Deadwing, and Fear of a Blank Planet earned critical praise for their mix of metal‑leaning intensity and ambient nuance. After a long hiatus, the band returned with Closure/Continuation, reaffirming their ability to craft immersive, thoughtful music that resonates with fans of both prog and alternative rock.
