In 2005 they released their debut album, Hold Your Colour. Critically, the album was well-received in both the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, it was one of the biggest selling Drum and Bass releases of all time. Pendulum have also collaborated with Freestylers, releasing the single "Fasten Your Seatbelt". MC $pyda and DJ Tenor Fly also feature as vocalists on "Tarantula".
Pendulum's sound is typically heavy beats accompanied by low, buzzing bass lines, overlaid with synthesized leads. As of their second album, In Silico, further experiments with sound are evident with many more elements from rock and typical electronic music being incorporated into their music. "In Silico" is Pendulum's first album for Warner Bros. Records via the bands Ear Storm imprint.
Their track "Vault" was played by almost every DJ and was declared by annual Knowledge Drum’n’bass Awards as The Best Track of the Year. They have also created many remixes, including a remix of Voodoo People by The Prodigy.
The band's third album "Immersion" was released on 24th May 2010, entering the UK album charts at #1 at the end of that week.
In 2011, members Swire and McGrillen started their side project, Knife Party, as a way to create different kinds of electronic music. It has since become their primary focus, however they have not ruled out the possibility of new Pendulum material in the future.

Immunize
Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We go forth and multiply
Nerves are skakin' from the takers of light
Repealers growing, going to die
Big and low we wait to die
We go forth and multiply
Nerves are shakin' from the takers of light
Repealers growing, going to die
Big and low we wait to die
Repealers growing, going to die
We go forth and multiply
Nerves are shakin' from the takers of light
We go forth and multiply
We go forth and multiply
We go forth and multiply
Repealers growing, going to die
Big and low we wait to die
Repealers growing, going to die
We go forth and multiply
Nerves are shakin' from the takers of light
The lyrics to Pendulum's song Immunize reflect a sense of urgency and fear in the face of an unknown threat. With lines like "Nerves are shakin' from the takers of light" and "Repealers growing, going to die," there is a sense of something being taken away or destroyed. The repeated phrase "We go forth and multiply" may refer to the need to band together and expand in order to survive. The line "Big and low we wait to die" suggests that even with this unity, there is still a sense of hopelessness and inevitability.
The theme of the lyrics can be interpreted as being about resistance to oppressive forces, and the need for a collective effort to overcome them. The imagery of "takers of light" implies that there is something precious being taken away or extinguished, and the need for action to prevent it. The word "immunize" in the title suggests the idea of building up resistance to a threat, which fits with the theme of the song.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency, fear, and resistance. The group mindset of "going forth and multiplying" is contrasted with the feeling of being trapped and helpless. It is possible that the song is about real-world issues, but the lyrics are vague enough that they can also be interpreted more abstractly.
