Pendulum shot to prominence in 2005 with the release of debut album Hold Your Colour.

The group went on hiatus in 2012 and splintered into a group called Knife Party.
After a series of special reunions, Pendulum became a fully functioning group once again in 2017.
They have since released two EPs Elemental and Anima, whose lead single Halo featured guest vocals from Bullet for my Valentine rocker Matt Tuck.
