Having previously collaborated with In Flames on 2010s Self vs Self, Pendulum have long been a band with one foot in the metal scene, and once again they explore their heavier side here as they team up with Bullet For My Valentine frontman Matt Tuck on this latest single.
Halo is extremely fast out of the gates, distinctly Pendulum in sound, and Matt Tuck’s slightly harsher vocals combine brilliantly with the clean vocal sound of Pendulum’s own Rob Swire. The collaboration sounds extremely natural and these two artists work incredibly well together here, creating a huge sounding drum’n’bass track with a delightful metallic twinge. If you were a fan of the aforementioned Self vs Self, then Halo should surely be right up your street and is definitely a track that you should be immediately adding to your rotation.
Pendulum will soon be performing at Download Festival, and Halo should surely receive an absolutely almighty reception from the Donnington crowd in attendance. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s ballsy, and Halo is a single that absolutely captures Pendulum at their brilliant best.
