Invaders Must Die

Warning: OMG this post is the funky shit.

It has been announced. The new Prodigy album. Invaders Must Die.
If you're anything of a decent Prodigy fan, or scope the music blogosphere, you already knew this. You also knew that the date to put in your diary is March 9th, 2009. After the solid performance these guys put together at Summer Sonic coupled with the mix of their stuff that was kicking around earlier this year, it's safe to say I'm well excited.

What you may or may not have picked up is the title track is available for download on theprodigy.com for the next few days (and then at many different blogs such as Jacuzzi Killers). As far as Liam Howlett goes, its a step in yet another direction from Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, feeling very much like a club bombshell and less like the stand-out sound he's known for. The collaboration with Does It Offend You Yeah?'s James Rushent give rise to a more progressive mainstream guitar riff and accompanying synth which is like nothing else he's done. Having said that, the raw drums and occasional synth flourish in the background are very much what we hope to hear from the man. Can't wait to hear it on a dancefloor.
