"Granite" is a song by Australian drum and bass band Pendulum, released as the first single from their second studio album In Silico.
The single is supposedly inspired by the likes of video game boss battles, including the theme of various battles against the Mario series' Bowser; specifically, the intro is directly inspired by the beginning of the music from the castle stages in Super Mario World.
Some of the UFOs resemble Pendulum's logo on their "In Silico" album and were later seen again in the music video for their other single "The Other Side".
"Granite" entered the UK Singles Chart on 11 November 2007 at number 48 based solely on downloads from iTunes and 7digital.
