I'm sure Deinfamous is in mourning.

"I guess we'd been doing Pendulum for ten years and that's a pretty long time to be doing anything I guess. We were still playing tracks like 'Blood Sugar' that we made when we were 18 or 19. To still be doing that 10 years later, it just felt like time to do something else.

Bollocks! There are countless successful musicians who are still performing the songs that made them famous even longer than 10 years ago. In truth its probably "drum n bass isn't as hip/profitable as it used to be compared to dubstep now".

Also that knife party track is horrendous. Just sounds like a really bad pendulum dubstep track to me.

Saw Pendulum twice and loved every second of it. Theire Voodoo people remix was what really caught my attention a while back and I've been following them ever since.
Sad to see them get rid of that side of things but I've been enjoying a few knife party tracks.

I can't even remember the last time I heard Pendulum.

Thats because it is. Whatever, I am glad that I no longer have to worry about whether someone is going to play a new Pendulum tune on their radio show now(Radio 1, KissFM, 1xtra, etc). I think Knife Party is coming to my area soon. I'm kinda tempted to hit up the promoter to get on the list so that I can throw rotten tomatoes and whatever rancid things I can get my hands on at em.

I don't think this even belongs in the dnb forum, if we had a rock forum i guess it'd be there.

pendulum "broke-up" with dnb a long long time ago.

Still weirds me out that 2/3s of what's basically Pendulum is pretty famous on local radio (consider that I'm from the US), but not for the reasons I expected.

This is true. And tbh, I don't think anything they did will ever match Hold Your Colour.

I stopped paying attention to Pendulum in 2007. I listened to some of their new stuff between then and now and it was all just throwaway pop fodder garbage.

Rather meaningless "break up." They just dropped the only respectable member of Pendulum and changed their name to Knife Party. Here's to hoping El Hornet embraces his darker roots and starts making good dnb again.
