THE Pendulum They announced “Inertia”, their first album 15 years after the previous LP. Together with the news of the new publication they made available “Save the cat“The second single of the new album that follows”Napalm“(Ft. Joey Valence & Brae) released last year.

The new album comes after the numerous shows in the arenas and dates at last year festivals and marks their first job after “Immersion“In 2010. The disc consists of 16 songs and will be released on August 22 via Mushroom Music.

Today 27 May, the Australian band has shared a new anticipation of the album with the hard single “Save the cat“According to the official notes, the song was born in the wake of two breaks, one that slowly unfolded over time and another that struck without warning.” It was written during a period of questions and frustrations, “explained the frontman Rob Swire.” Love seemed to me something that I didn’t trust me anymore “.

As for the album as a whole, the work on new music began in 2020, when Swire began to think of a new chapter for the band. The direction took shape after the “Elemental” EPs of 2021 (with three singles out of four songs) and “Soul” of 2023 (also from this EP three singles), and the band described the new album as the project of their next era.

“In practice I was testing to what extent we could push the pendulums,” said the frontman. “Seeing what we could get away with. I always looked at the prodigy as a point of reference. They started as pure rave – breakbeat, hardcore – but they evolved. They became their sound. They no longer associate them with breakbeat. They are simply the prodigy”. “It is the sound of the pendulums that they find themselves, and I who find myself in a certain extent,” he added. “The breaks do this: they undress things and show you who you are. I’m just trying not to become the type that has to go through a difficult period just to make a disc”.
