The Prodigy announce their fifth studio album Invaders Must Die to be released on the band’s imprint Take Me To The Hospital through Cooking Vinyl on March 2nd 2009.
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 ‘Outer Space’ ‘Everybody In the Place’, ‘Charley Says’, ‘Firestarter’ 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.
The band will embark on a sold out warm up academy tour of the UK (tour sold out in an hour) taking in two Brixton Academy dates on 12th & 13th December.
