In Silico is an album by Pendulum, released in 2008. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Propane Nightmares”, on 11 lists with a best position of #13.
In Silico, the second album from Perth's Pendulum, came out on 12 May 2008 in Australia and Europe through Warner Bros., landing in America a day later on Atlantic. The band Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen and Paul "El Hornet" Harding founded as a drum and bass outfit had grown, with Peredur ap Gwynedd on electric guitar and Paul Kodish on drums, and the record swerves away from the pure drum and bass of Hold Your Colour toward rock and electronic crunch: breakbeats running headlong into distorted guitars and Swire's stadium-sized vocals.
"Granite", "Propane Nightmares", "The Other Side" and "Showdown" went out as singles, and the album climbed to number 2 in the UK. The title means done by computer, and McGrillen pointed out the nod to Nirvana's In Utero, an idea of being born synthetically that explains the cover, a baby inside an artificial egg.
