‘Invaders Must Die’ is the title track of the forthcoming fifth studio album from The Prodigy, an album which is to be released on March 2nd 2009 through Take Me to the Hospital Records and distributed by Cooking Vinyl. It’s the band’s eighteenth ever single release, and on November 26th the track was made available to download completely for free from the band’s official website for one week only.

The first time I heard the track I was really quite impressed with what I heard from the band; with repeated listen’s however and the track began to grow on me more and more. Fusing rock guitar sounds and supreme electronic beats, ‘Invaders Must Die’ is a really powerful piece of music; simple, and yet also incredibly effective. The synth sound is strong, and everything about the track just seems to fit together incredibly well. Not one single element of the track is lacking, and everything about the music just makes you want to get up and dance.

The music is infectious, the beat gets stuck in your head straight away, and come March when the album is finally released; ‘Invaders Must Die’ will no doubt still be engraved firmly in my mind. There’s a powerful rock stomp about the track, and whilst you listen to the music you just get an image of millions walking the streets, oblivious to the world with ‘Invaders Must Die’ blasting from their headphones. It’s a truly incredible piece of music, and gives me much hope for when the ‘Invaders Must Die’ album is released in March.

‘Invaders Must Die’ will be the first studio album since 1997s ‘The Fat of the Land’ to feature all three members of the band, and having not really been a fan of 2004s ‘Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned’; I’m pleased that Liam Howlett has once more brought Keith Flint and Maxim Reality onboard to provide the full flavour of The Prodigy.

Bring on the album, as the title track is excellent.

Rating: 4.5/5
