Following a run of blistering, sweatdrenched summer shows, Pendulum today 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.
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,” Rob says of teaming up with Wargasm. “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.” Listen to ‘Cannibal’ ft. Wargasm HERE & Watch HERE.
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.
Known for their raucous and captivating live show, the band head out on a run of EU dates through winter after a massive headline date at Milton Keynes Bowl on August 9th.
