The Prodigy Unleash First Single from “The Day is My Enemy”

Last week The Prodigy unexpectedly announced their new album ‘The Day is My Enemy’, due for release on March 27th via the bands own label Take Me To The Hospital through Cooking Vinyl. It’s an album that takes you on a journey through the uncharted underbelly of urban nightlife where anger is an ever-present energy lurking just beneath the surface of an edgy calm.

Uncompromising first single ‘Nasty’ fires out of the cannons like a ferocious statement of intent and finds Keith Flint at his snarling best. Premiering in Australia on triple j’s Breakfast show this morning, the video was then revealed via Future Music Festival who are eagerly anticipating the band’s arrival as headliners next month.

Check out the video for ‘Nasty’ below –

By rights Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim shouldn’t be angry at all. The Prodigy have always cut a solitary path through the noise-scapes of electronic dance music. They’ve dropped five epoch defining studio albums, including 2009’s world dominating Invaders Must Die, and delivered unforgettable live performances that have taken electronic beats into unchartered territories. Throughout this time they’ve remained resolutely focused on their own vision, inspiring legions of artists along the way.

The Day Is My Enemy is probably the most British sounding album you’ll hear this year. Not British in the flag waving jingoistic sense, but in a way that understands that the nighttime spaces of urban Britain are a multi-hued cacophony of cultures. If Invaders Must Die was the sound of the rusted urban sprawl decaying like an open wound in the British countryside, thenThe Day is My Enemy is about the angry humanity existing in the decay of the urban nightmare.
