Pendulum was among the many first digital artists I listened to means again in highschool. I began with “Blood Sugar” and “Painkiller” (which I later realized after saying goodbye to Limewire wasn’t even their unique, they have been only a function) after which in fact discovering their 2005 Important Combine, Maintain Your Color, In Silico, and ultimately seeing their last headline present in Los Angeles at The Wiltern in 2011.
The group was a place to begin and a pillar of my digital upbringing and I used to be even lucky sufficient to have drummer KJ Sawka as a roommate for a number of years and get a firsthand take a look at the studio arrange and study extra concerning the historical past of the group. All this to say that Pendulum is in my blood and I, and tons of of hundreds of others, have been ready patiently for his or her official return.
They got here again tentatively at Extremely Music Competition in 2017 as they headlined the competition with visitor appearances from deadmau5 and Tom Morello, however you could possibly say they didn’t really return till their Elemental EP in 2021. By all metrics, they’re formally again.
Following the discharge of their latest single “Halo,” with Bullet For My Valentine, final Friday, the group has launched an official documentary chronicling the tip of the primary period of Pendulum, the rise of Knife Celebration, the return of Pendulum at Extremely, and what the long run holds.
“Halo” may very well be the primary signal of a brand new album from the group, or one other EP. We don’t actually know; famously the group, and frontman Rob Swire, are fairly tight-lipped about their future plans. However from the footage, it seems just like the group, beneath new administration and with renewed vigor, the group is in it for the lengthy haul as soon as once more.
