The band filmed the video for track, 'Pendulum' late last year but have been unable to release the finished product due to uncontrollable legal issues.

"The band's video for 'Pendulum' has been delayed ever since it was shot last December. What's the hold up? Apparently, on-set chaperones deemed much of conduct in the video unbecoming.


The video features the band invading an all-girl Catholic school and encouraging the uniformed ladies to engage in some uninhibited fun in their gymnasium. Apparently, when the girls began letting loose and grinding on one another, the chaperones, who happened to be conservative Catholics, went into an uproar," AOL's Noisecreep writes.


Consequently, a cease and desist notice was issued to the video's production company leading to the subsequent delay in release.


"Throughout their performance in the school’s gym the director and other various crew members encouraged the girls to let loose and “go wild” to accompany the chorus of the song where the band yells “We lose control,” Gunshyassassin additionally reports.


'Pendulum' featured on last year's third studio album 'In Dreams'. You can read Killyourstereo's review here.
