Label GB

The Prodigy is a British electronic group founded in 1990. They made their debut with the release of "What Evil Lurks" EP in 1991. Initially known for their rave/breakbeat sound, they later incorporated rock guitars into their music, resulting in a more mainstream sound with the album "The Fat Of The Land" (1997).

The band is led by Liam Howlett, who handles keyboards, synthesizers, programming, and various other instruments since its inception. Maxim joined as an MC and vocalist shortly after their formation in 1991.

Former members include Keith Flint, who was both a dancer and lead vocalist from 1995 until his tragic death by suicide in 2019. Leeroy Thornhill contributed as a dancer and occasionally played live keyboards from 1990 to 2000. Sharky was one of the original dancers but left before the band signed their record deal.

Back In Stock

limited cd with a bonus dvd featuring two videos and two live films. 'invaders must die' is the prodigy's fifth album. it's 40 minutes of having your head battered by future nostalgia, serotonin levels twisted by feel-good horrorcore and your synapses snapped by whiplash attitude. it's the sound of the prodigy mixing up genres, contorting the past and rewiring the future, ram-raiding through the tranquility of music's status quo like a blot on the landscape of england's dreaming. the first thing you notice about 'invaders must die' is how complete it sounds, a consistent collection of bangers all firing from the same cannon. the next thing you notice about is just how melodic it is. not just melody in the vocal sense but in the heyday-of-hardcore keyboard-hookline sense. yes, if the prodigy have learned anything from the hugely successful live shows it was that those old skool rave anthems still rock hard - and are every bit as iconic to their generation as punk was to the nation's forty-somethings. so 'invaders must die' is awash with references to the free party generation, thundering along like the mother of all e-rushes, all hairs tingling, spine jumping and lips buzzing. but not a retroactive arms-in-the-air, water-sharing nostalgia trip, but a set fuelled by punk's saliva-dripping rabid snarl. 'invaders' also features dave grohl drumming on 'run with the wolves'.
