Inertia marks Pendulum’s first full album in 15 years. Their last studio LP, Immersion, was released back in 2010. This new 16-track album promises a compelling musical journey. It includes several previously released collaborations. ‘Halo’ features Bullet For My Valentine. ‘Louder Than Words’ is a dynamic track with Hybrid Minds. The album also features contributions from artists such as Scarlxrd and AWOLNATION, showcasing a diverse sound.

The album’s creation began in 2020. Pendulum carefully explored and developed their sound. Swire’s goal was clear: to evolve the band’s style. He mentioned The Prodigy as an inspiration, noting how they continuously adapted their music while staying unique. For Swire, Inertia represents Pendulum “finding themselves again.” It signifies a fresh chapter for their distinct sound.
