The group (2002) comprises Rob Swire (vocals/synth/producer), Gareth McGrillen (bass guitar/producer/DJ), Perry ap Gwynedd (guitar), Paul 'El Hornet' Harding (DJ), KJ Sawka (drums) and Ben 'The Verse' Mount (MC). While the band has been in a hiatus since 2012, El Hornet and Mc Verse have continued to perform DJ sets using the aliase.
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.
Their official website can be found at www.pendulum.com.
2. A Black Metal band from France. Their debut album Les Fragments du Chaos was released in 2012 by Hass Weg Productions.
3. A group from Melbourne who were distributed by Viscous Vinyl and MDS, both labels also based in Melbourne. They released one album called "3 Knocks" which featured the track "Coma" for which an ARIA Music Award was won for "Best Dance Release" in 1997.
4. There is also a Trip-hop group from the UK going by the name who released an album titled "Creature Feature" in 1997 on Cup Of Tea Records.
5. Pendulum was a Belgian band, founded by Serge Demol. Their debut single was called "It's a Beautiful Day". It was released in 1970 and became a hit. Two more singles were released in 1971 and 1974, but weren't successful.
6. Justin Wolthers, from Australia. One of the legendary Bloody Fist Records early members producing hardcore-techno and doomcore. Also goes under the alias De-Koder.
7. Pendulum was progressive rock from Indonesia. The first album release in 2003, Hypnotize, by taking the listener from chunky guitar solos onto light riffs and inspirational lyrics. With only one song featuring vocals (Ulah Manusia feat. Ipang), these four former music students build on a chemistry developed over years at school and playing in various bands based in Jakarta. Their speed and precision stand out on each track without robbing the music of its soul.

Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Ah-uh, ah-uh
Jeah, jeah, jeah
Lets it go
Ah-uh, ah-uh
C'mon, ah-uh, ah-uh
Lets it go
Painkiller, oh, uh, uh
Ah-uh, ah-uh
Ah-uh, ah-uh
Jeah, lets it go
Ah-uh, ah-uh
Painkiller, killer, killer, killer, killer, killer
I'm reaching in my cupboard for a painkiller
Ah-uh, ah-uh, for a painkiller, killer, killer
You see, we work hard, play hard
Man, I gotta stay charged
Can't sleep, tired out
Trouble on my radar
Runnin' 'round live wire
Had anotha Red Bull
Everybody's burnin', baby
Let me come and get a pull
Isn't it incredible
That I'm even still awake?
Still alive, still I take
Poison that debilitates
Fuck a little line
We can go ahead and kill a K
Livin' in the killer's state
Maybe that's a good excuse
See me taking shots at the bar
Like I'm bulletproof
Now my belly full of juice
I'm walking every day with a
Bruised lip, battered eye
Beat up stained liver
Ah-uh, ah-uh
I'm reaching in my cupboard for a painkiller
Uh, uh, uh, I need another painkiller
Uh, reaching in my cupboard for a painkiller
Uh, uh, uh, uh, I need another painkiller
They call it painkiller, lets it go painkiller
Uh, uh, uh, I need anotha painkiller
Uh, reaching in my cupboard for a painkiller
Uh, uh, uh, I need another painkiller
They call it painkiller, lets it go
You thought you could take it out
But the world collapse
And you can't see out of it now
You go crazy, baby
Now we live fast, die young
Wish I never tried none
Saturated chemical
But I don't wanna die mum
Maybe you could try some
No point wasting it
First it was a little bit
But now I got my face in it
Run around chasin' it
Everything is so hot
Everybody's screw faced
Looking like so raw
Pressure and it won't stop
Pushing up my heart rate
Arguments and attitude
Mate, you don't wanna start me
Listen man, I can't wait
Now I got a closed fist
Woke up shivering and
Swimming in my own piss
It's just my own risk
A real brain splitta
Ah-uh, ah-uh
I'm reaching in my cupboard for a painkiller
Uh, uh, uh, I need another painkiller

The song Painkiller by Pendulum ft. Freestylers delves into the ups and downs of drug use and addiction. The lyrics describe the singer’s need for a painkiller to keep up with their fast-paced lifestyle, which includes long work hours, partying, and substance abuse. The chorus repeats the phrase “Painkiller” as a way to illustrate the addictive nature of drugs and the temporary relief they provide. Later on in the song, the lyrics take a darker turn when the singer describes waking up shivering and swimming in their own urine, suggesting the devastating effects of addiction. The final chorus repeats the phrase “Painkiller” one last time, almost as a plea for help and a way out of the vicious cycle of addiction.
