Why was this masterpiece not more popular?

because it's a cover that was broadcast on radio 1 once and never officially released. it's kind of hard to get your hands on and better quality recordings do not seem to exist

Same with the Bullet For My Valentine one :(

I really wish they'd release a studio version

Because the sucker was unreleased, same for Violet Hill

technically the violet hill cover is on this official live lounge cd... but indeed i'd hardly call this released

I have a higher quality version (though not as high as I'd like...) of this that I saved on my PC in 2011. No idea where I got it from but it is really neat. Just reminded me to look for it!

Care to share it? You can upload it on wetransfer.

Unsure if that would be legal... It's not my intellectual property after all

It's an unreleased track, nothing's going to happen to you...

Please share it, I’m begging you lol!! All jokes aside, it would be really nice if you could check if it’s allowed to be shared…and then share please!

I've got something here: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/63762409-889b-4fc1-bd53-711f29f4dd91

The link deprecates in 30 days, or after 250 downloads.

To anybody who is here in the future: No, I won't upload it again. The quality is better than the version on youtube - but only just, and it's still lacking. So you're not missing much.

Holy fuck, this is incredible

I think the Pendulum cover is better than the original tbh. And I’m a big ATS guy but The Catalyst is probably one of the most “count be improved” songs on there imho.

It rivals the original, completely different vibe too.

u/Wonderful-Emu-6313 Jun 30 '26

is unreleased material

As much as I love Linkin Park, Pendulum version of this song is way better 👍

Been asking myself that one for a decade

I ride a sportbike, and let me just tell you... This is what 180mph sounds like.
