News: The Prodigy Give Details On New Album, Drop First Single “Nasty”

–Written by Kevin Madert

It’s been nearly six years since UK-based electro-punk outfit The Prodigy’s last full-length Invaders Must Die, and the hype surrounding a follow-up ramped up considerably in the last few months as the group teased the idea of new material. On Monday the wait ended as the group announced The Day Is My Enemy, set for a March 30 release via the band’s label, Take Me to the Hospital. Via The Guardian:

“Along with details of the album’s release came a statement describing the band’s apocalyptic setting for their sixth LP, describing “drones and chaos” and “a subverted militaristic snare, a distorted break, a glitched dub attack, a Middle Eastern refrain, a cacophony of in-car dissonance, a symphony of random noise soundtracking life at the edge of the night.”

In tandem with these details, the group released the album’s first single. “Nasty” is quintessential Prodigy, full of grating synth chords and lyrics shouted with all the punk vitriol the perma-pissed Brits can muster. Check it out below, and keep up to date with The Prodigy via their official site.
