Last week The Prodigy made the dreams of ravers old-school and new come true by suddenly announcing the release of their new album, The Day is My Enemy, which is slated to drop Friday, 27th March via the band’s own Take Me To The Hospital imprint through Cooking Vinyl. To celebrate this highly anticipated release, the band have unveiled the LP’s aggressive first single, ‘Nasty’.
Billed as 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”, The Day is My Enemy is the follow-up to 2009’s Invaders Must Die, which yielded the acclaimed singles Invaders Must Die, Omen, and Warrior’s Dance.
‘Nasty’ sees the UK’s premier dance floor terrorisers come firing out of a cannon with ferocious intent. Packed with hard-hitting beats, buzz saw synths, and Keith Flint at his snarling best, the single bodes well for the album, which is sure to be another fiery dispatch from the group that gave us such imperishable dance floor and mosh pit classics as ‘Smack My Bitch Up’, ‘Breathe’, and ‘Voodoo People’.
