Well this is some dNb scene whack, but it's kinda similar to the metal scene where black metal guys say hurrrrrrrrr dimmu borgir sucks major dick

I think it's a really good tune but...I'm a bit depressed atm cause my actual project i'm working on is mixing In flames with Pendulum to make a new kind of music! And they did it before me!
But it's rock!
For sure, what I do is a bit different, and they really are the best in their kind of music so I can't really compare and stand to them, but I was shocked when I saw this song...
I'm in the middle of the album I have to hurry up!!
(ps: myspace's songs are 2 years old, the actual tunes are way more finished)

I don't think so. Attack Attack (IMO) is a distasteful mashup of metalcore cliches. I can't really think of anything new they added to the genre - that "cheesy-synth-pop" stuff has been done before by others like Blessed By A Broken Heart.
Pendulum have actually gone beyond the boundaries of D'n'B blending fresh rock instrumentations and vocals in there... something that was never done before in the genre (in a tasteful, musical way).
Of course, YMMV.
well
you can find rock instrumentations in old Apollo 440 stuff, this is nothing new

Same for me, but my song was finished before this one
But it's quite different, much harder... more like Blackened Death Metal DnB

well
And Pitchshifter also.
Pendulums drummer Paul Kodish played for Apollo 440 in fact (although it looks like he may have quit Pendulum now as well)

Apollo 440 mixed rock with electronica, and Pitchshifter is just industrial metal. I've never heard DnB beats on both.

You're nit-picking. Are you saying that Pitchshifters use of breakbeats doesn't constitute DnB content?
Same for me, but my song was finished before this one
Do you have a myspace of this project?
D'n'B use some kind of break like the "amen break" sampled on an Amen Brother's vinyl; from there, other breaks where created or added (sampled), it's not a rock rythm, and that's the drum part.
For the bass part, they use sound called "Reeces" (or Reeses) after the name of the first who used it. They use some "Hoover", "wobble" bass too.
For the rest "D'n'Bheads" use space FXs and samples. There are a lot of sub kind of D'n'B like in metal in it.
Pendulum is the first band, to:
1-be a really band onstage
2-break the rules of the D'n'B style including other kind of music (pop,rock,electro, and now death
)So, there is a lot's of haters how said they suck now because they changed, but for me they're just innovative, and I love that kind of philosophy.
What I dislike the most is that there's too much "2-step" kind of D'n'B, that can be confused with some classic rock and indus rythms, which are much more linear, and boring to me.

The studio being basically Rob Swire's house.
There was a big article with him in Sound On Sound ages ago where he described how he was being shown around houses by the estate agent who kept trying to point out features of the house and he was just like "dude, I don't care" and started running sine sweep tests in all the rooms to check for standing waves.

It's in my sig. Once Myspace starts working, you can hear it in the first track (Album #5 demo teasers), but it's a one-song thing, the other stuff is not with DnB stuff. I like to experiment with many things
Edit:
Okay, it seems to work now

Keep on blorpin'
Hold Your Colour is a decent album, but Pendulum are really kinda mediocre as far as dnb goes imo. And I just haven't given a shit about In Flames for awhile now... Interesting though.

well
Yeah, hasn't Klay Scott (Celldweller) been doing this for some time. The debut album back in 2003 is a brilliant mix of rock and all sorts of electonica, including DnB and breakbeat.

btw I checked the Self vs Self with a wave-editor because I found the pumping really distracting... No wonder; In the last chorus the loudest part is -4dB(!) RMS, altho it only lasts like one second or so. Overall the song is -7dB RMS and in choruses it's -6dB RMS thats about as loud as Death Magnetic.

Well, Duh.. you can hear that the low-end is off the scale, but I get that it's a DNB producer's aproach to mixing metal.
Thanks for the vids ahjteam!
Torniojaws, the teaser is...
This Vortech album will kick ass! Great work!
The little teaser of the song with d'n'b is cool, i'm waiting for the entire track to be released!
About Apollo 440 and Pitchshifter, I agree that there's some typical drums from dnb, but there isn't the bass synth part, and the mix isn't really dnb on the drums (not enough "chimical", filtered, pushed). It's on the rock side for me.
This song Self.vs.self is definitively something else, new.
With more time and effort, I think the mix between d'n'b and melodeath will be better cause the typical instruments form both side have to found a new place to fit each other, to really fusion in a new kind of music.
