The Prodigy get 'Nasty' on their long awaited new track

Taken from the new album The Day Is My Enemy

2013 - The Future: The rave-rock heroes debuted new track 'The Day' at Warrior's Brixton last year and 'Rockweiler' at Rock am Ring 2013. Both sounded pretty mean and beefy. With an incredible line-up that includes Jaguar Skills, Shy FX and Caspa at their upcoming December dates and Warehouse Project shows, it's clear that they're back and mean business. Expect awesome new material just around the corner.

2012 - 'Brixton Warriors: End of the World Extravaganza.': The Prodigy put on a real treat for fans with two special shows at Brixton Academy in 2012. With the band celebrating the 15th anniversary of 'Fat of the Land' and a headline performance at Download, it was an incredible and exciting year for the band.

2010 - Warriors Dance Festival: The Prodigy have played their biggest ever headline gig in front of 65,000 fans at the Milton Keynes National Bowl. It was EPIC.

2009 - Invaders Must Die - the successful return: To comeback again was quite a task, luckily with the album again reaching Number 1 in the UK the album produced hits like 'Omen' and 'Take Me to the Hospital.' The reviews were good and The Prodigy were back. Anyone who saw their subsequent sets at Reading and Leeds festivals also witnessed an out-of-body experience of awesomeness.

2002 - 2004 - An unsuccessful return: After three years away from playing live or releasing any new material, The Prodigy released the single 'Baby's Got Temper' in 2002 and 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' in 2004. Despite the album charting at No.1, the comeback was not nearly as successful as many thought it would be.

1997 - 'Smack My Bitch Up' Video Controversy: The unedited version included heroin use, a hit and run incident, fights with men, abuse of women, and a full sex scene. It was banned by the BBC and was voted as the "Most Controversial Video" in MTV's history in 2002.

1996 - Firestarter: Liam said of the record it was "a major turning point...I knew then it was original, that I had achieved something." The video also revealed the infamous transformation of Keith Flint and angered Christians and parents the world over.

1995 - Glastonbury Festival: "Glastonbury - are you ready to rock," screamed Keith. Described as one of the greatest Glasto performances ever, their set on the NME Stage was a special one for all involved.

1994 - Music for the Jilted Generation: The Prodigy's second album and their first to reach No.1 in the UK chart.

1991 - 'Charly': The first real hit single for the band, it got to number 3 in the UK Singles Chart and has gone down in legend as a rave anthem.

1991 - What Evil Lurks EP: The first release from unknown band The Prodigy, a three man electronic music act from Essex. Only 7000 copies were made of the four song EP. History was made.

The Prodigy have revealed the first track from their long-awaited new album, entitled 'Nasty'. Listen below.

Featuring the same dark breaks found on Invaders Must Die and Fat Of The Land, it is the sound of the band returning to their niche with significant aplomb. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, in the way that previous albums have been a departure in sound, it builds on the mantra of if it ain't broke don't fix it and does it well.

Listen to 'Nasty' by The Prodigy below

'Nasty' is taken from The Prodigy's forthcoming album The Day Is My Enemy, which will feature Sleaford Mods on 'Ibiza'. It is due for release 30 March, so expect more cuts and rolling beats in the next few months.
