Immersion is the third studio album by Australian band Pendulum. The album was announced in early 2009, with the name being confirmed in December 2009.[1] The album was released on 21 May 2010 in Australia and Ireland, and on 24 May for the rest of the world,[2] followed by a UK tour of the album. In January 2010, Pendulum hosted the album preview Ear Storm event at Matter in London in which many top DJs performed sets of their own with Pendulum being the headliners.[3]

The album was finished on 18 April 2010 and mastered by Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios in Los Angeles.[4]

Immersion peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart in its first week of release.[5] The album features a variety of sounds. Although drum and bass is highly featured, electro, house and metal styles are also within the 67-minute long album.

The album features collaborations with Liam Howlett, Steven Wilson and the Swedish melodic death metal band In Flames.
