THE PRODIGY'S NEW ALBUM "INVADERS MUST DIE" IS OUT NOW!

The Prodigy's fifth studio album “Invaders Must Die” on the band’s imprint Take Me To The Hospital through Cooking Vinyl is already out. It’s easy to forget that not only have The Prodigy given us some of the greatest hits of the rave era and beyond with “Out Of Space”, “Everybody In the Place”, “Charly”, “Firestarter” "Breathe" and “Smack My Bitch Up”, they also gave a face to rave and to the rest of us donated the whole idea of selling a credible, uncompromising dance music album with the personality and punk panache of a rock artist – and sold 16 million albums in the process.

Now, on “Invaders Must Die”, Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim all feature on the album, which is the first time since the release of “Fat Of The Land” in 1997. The result is back to their bone shaking best, a collision of old skool rave noise with the stratospheric limits of new technology. Guests include Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and includes the single "Omen". The album is available in two formats -- Regular CD and CD with Bonus DVD edition.

A white hot shot of pure pumped-up, punk rock Prodigy adrenaline beamed straight into the moshpit from rave central, "Omen" is everything you have ever wanted from The Prodigy condensed into three eardrum bothering minutes.

The band put out a free download as a taster of what’s to come. This was a huge success and was hailed as the Hottest record in the world by Zane Lowe (Radio 1). On www.theprodigy.com the download and accompanying video stream received in excess of 1 million plays globally in the first 5 days and a further 350,000+ streams in the following week.

The new Prodigy album "Invaders Must Die" (released 23rd February) is 40 minutes of having your head battered by future nostalgia, serotonin levels twisted by feel-good horrorcore and your synapses snapped by whiplash attitude. It's the sound of The Prodigy mixing up genres, contorting the past and rewiring the future, ram-raiding through the tranquility of music's status quo like a blot on the landscape of England's dreaming.

"Invaders Must Die" is the unique sound of The Prodigy, still trespassing after all these years, walking the path they've created for themselves. And with that free party attitude still breaking and entering where other's can only dream of following.
