Editor's note

Pendulum's drum and bass shook clubs worldwide.

The Australian trio fused electronic intensity with rock ambition before their 2012 hiatus.

For the full sweep, start with 'Hold Your Colour' and then check out something like 'Encoder' from later on. You can hear the whole arc in those two.

When 'Hold Your Colour' dropped in 2005, it gave drum and bass a stadium-sized sound that hadn't really been heard before. Tracks like 'Immunize' kept that energy sharp, while later albums brought in guitars and strings without losing the pulse. They made electronic music feel physical, not just programmed.

They started in Western Australia with Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen, and Paul Harding, building a reputation on that first album. By 2010's 'Immersion,' they were weaving rock and orchestral layers into the mix. The indefinite hiatus came in 2012, with Swire shifting to other projects.
