Pendulum Release Raucous New Single 'Cannibal' With WARGASM
FORTHCOMING ALBUM INERTIA OUT 22 AUGUST FEATURING BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, JOEY VALENCE & BRAE, SCARLXRD, AWOLNATION & MORE 28 July 2025 Following a run of blistering, sweat drenched European summer shows, Pendulum release their new single 'Cannibal ft. WARGASM'. The track is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming new album Inertia, the band's first in 15 years, which comes August 22nd via Mushroom Music / Virgin Music Group. An explosive collaboration with electro-punk duo WARGASM, 'Cannibal' is an uncompromising assault on the senses. Made for the main stages, the synth driven track is chaotic, heavy and infectious. 'I'd been listening to them for ages, when we finally met, I asked about their influences - and as soon as they started talking, it felt familiar. Atari Teenage Riot, The Prodigy, all that stuff. Even though our sounds are pretty different, it was clear we came from the same place.' - Rob Swire Produced by Rob Swire and Owen Charles and recorded at Pendulum's London Studio, Inertia is a rampaging, 16-track emotional maelstrom and without doubt the band's most personal work to date. Featuring collaborations with Bullet For My Valentine, WARGASM, AWOLNATION, Scarlxrd, Joey Valence & Brae and Hybrid Minds across the album's tracklist, Inertia began to take shape in 2020 as Rob searched for what it is to be Pendulum in its current era. Stemming from 2021's Elemental and 2023's Anima EPs, which were the blueprint for the band's future, the band found their new direction. About Pendulum... Undoubtedly one of the biggest electronic bands of all time, Pendulum have 3 platinum albums to their name, including renowned debut Hold Your Colour and a UK #1 and #2 for Immersion and In Silico. The drum and bass/rock band from Perth, Australia have sold over a million albums in the UK alone, as well as selling out global arena tours and playing to thousands across main stage performances from Glastonbury and Download to Reading and Leeds on top of a headline slot at Ultra Miami in spring 2025.

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 to check out where they are playing. 'Inertia' tracklisting: 1.

Deadmau5 sells his song and label catalogue for $55M US
Deadmau5 is taking the cheese. The Canadian electronic music producer, known for wearing a mouse head helmet on stage, has sold his song catalogue and that of his Mau5trap record label in a deal valued at $55 million US. The buyer is Los Angeles-based Creative Music Group, an independent music distributor, which will own the sound recordings and copyrights of more than 4,000 songs. The company says it intends to remaster and re-release "key catalogue pieces" and seek new marketing and licensing opportunities that would expose the music to a new generation of listeners. WATCH | The official music video for 'Ghosts 'n' Stuff' by Deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire: Deadmau5, the stage name of Niagara Falls, Ont. artist Joel Zimmerman, is one of Canada's most successful electronic artists.
