Drum and bass giants Pendulum have unleashed their explosive new single ‘Halo,’ a collaboration with metalcore powerhouses Bullet For My Valentine. Accompanying the release is an Orwellian music video directed by Kristian Young, which sees BFMV frontman Matt Tuck screaming from the TV screen while Pendulum are playing in front of it.
About the song, Rob Swire, Pendulum‘s mastermind earlier shared: “When it comes to Pendulum, I’ve always tried to create music that sounds like the apocalypse, and with ‘Halo,’ we’ve gotten closer than ever before. We’ve always had one foot in the metal scene, so collaborating with Matt from Bullet For My Valentine was an incredible experience and his voice brought something completely unique to the table.”
Pendulum are, however, no strangers to combining electronic elements with heavy guitar-driven sound, already releasing ‘Self Vs Self,’ on their 2010’s album ‘Immersion,’ which featured Swedish metal heavyweights In Flames.
