Pendulum announce first album in 15 years, drop ear-splitting screamo song Save The Cat
Pendulum have announced their first studio album in 15 years, 'Inertia'.
Set to land on August 22, the 16-track LP includes the new single, 'Save The Cat', an ear-splitting screamo number.
Frontman Rob Swire said of the song: "It was written during a period of self-questioning and frustration.
'Love felt like something I didn't fully trust myself with anymore.'
As per a press release: "Inertia is a rampaging, 16-track emotional maelstrom and without doubt the band's most personal work to date."
The star-studded collection features members of Bullet For My Valentine, Wargasm, AWOLNATION, Scarlxrd, Joey Valence + Brae and Hybrid Minds.
The track 'Halo' featuring Matt Tuck from heavy metal band Bullet For My Valentine was previously released on 2023's 'Anima' EP.
Other available tracks include 'Nothing For Free', 'Louder Than Words' with drum and bass stars Hybrid Minds, 'Colourfast', and 'Napalm' with Joey Valence and Brae.
Rob also shared how The Prodigy have always inspired the dance-rock band to experiment with "how far we could push Pendulum".
He explained: 'I was basically testing how far we could push Pendulum.
Seeing what we could get away with. I always looked at The Prodigy as the benchmark. They started out as pure rave - breakbeat, hardcore - but they evolved. They became their own sound. You don't even really associate them with breakbeat anymore. They just are The Prodigy.'
The follow-up to their chart-topping 2010 LP 'Immersion' is a breakup album.
Rob said: 'It's the sound of Pendulum finding themselves again, and me figuring myself out to a certain extent.
'Breakups do that - they strip things down and show you who you are. I'm just trying not to become the guy who needs to go through one just to make a record.'
The 'Propane Nightmares' rockers have a slew of live dates this summer, including a huge gig at Milton Keynes Bowl on August 9. Head to pendulum.com/pages/tours to check out where they are playing.

Halle Bailey's ex DDG claims she is a 'psychological risk' to their baby son
DDG has asked the court to stop Halle Bailey from travelling internationally with their son. The 27-year-old streamer has filed a motion requesting an emergency hearing to restrict the 'Little Mermaid' star from taking their 17-month-old boy Halo to Italy for work. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE magazine and other outlets, he accused Bailey of being an "an imminent emotional and psychological risk to the minor child based on repeated, documented threats of self-harm". He alleged that if Halo left the country, the child wouldn't have the protections of the court or any "emergency intervention mechanisms". DDG - whose real name is Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. - has claimed his 25-year-old ex has made "repeated threats of suicide and self-harm". He also alleged that she "routinely used emotional coercion and manipulation to exert her control over me, often threatening me by using self-harm or ending her life" during what has been referred to as an almost three year "on again/off again" relationship. DDG claimed she allegedly "threatened to end her life using my legally owned firearm" in 2023, as well as stalking him during their relationship, and physically and verbally abusing him. He wrote in the filing: "Given these threats to self-harm, I believe the Petitioner is a threat to our son's safety such that she should not be allowed to take Halo out of the country to Italy for a period of two months." He has requested sole legal and physical custody of their child, or an alternative visitation plan which would see DDG and Bailey exchange two-day and five-day blocks. As reported by TMZ, Bailey has since filed to deny his request and seek permission to take Halo out of the country so she can work. She has also requested orders to prevent the YouTube star and his family and friends from posting online about her, the litigation, and their son. Last month, Bailey was granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of Halo, along with a temporary restraining order which expired in line with a planned court hearing on June 4. She had accused DDG of domestic abuse, while previous court documents obtained by Page Six, saw her allege that she filed for sole custody without notifying DDG because she was "afraid that the violence would reoccur" and that "the other party would take the children out of the area". Just over six months after they announced their split, PEOPLE learned via legal documents that Bailey has accused him of various kinds of abuse. In documents obtained by the outlet, she alleged: "I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer. "Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts badmouthing me to his several millions of fans. "He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans."

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Halle Bailey accuses DDG of abuse in restraining order request
The Chloe x Halle star and rapper split in October 2024 after almost three years of dating. The former couple share a 16-month-old son named Halo. But according to court documents obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, Bailey alleged DDG began to wrestle her, pulled her hair, slammed her face on his steering wheel, and chipped her tooth after she attempted to speak to him about their child visitation schedule back in January. The Little Mermaid actress claimed she decided to remain in DDG's car for the ride to his house, where she told his family about what had happened.
