With shrewd poppy nous and heady widescreen songcraft, the Perth electronic rock outfit return to arenas with a superb sense of laser-strafed enormo-club nirvana.
A video montage of a nuclear blast explodes out of the darkness at Leeds’s First Direct Arena. A cod-animé narration accompanies it as Pendulum frontman Rob Swire leads his band out. Several thousand voices roar and scream in anticipation. Like a kind of warped communion, this is music for the masses with bodies caught in the sway of devotion.
On their first full arena tour since those halcyon days, they have not lost any of their bludgeoned potency; this is an outfit that retains its skill in translating heady widescreen songcraft amid cavernous venues into laser-strafed enormo-club nirvana.
