The Prodigy
The Prodigy hoped their new album would have a "sense of danger".
Releasing sixth LP 'The Day Is My Enemy' on March 30, frontman Liam Howlett says they were keen for the tracks to be an "attack", which is why the LP sounds so "angry".
"I can't tell you why this record came out so angry, I think it's just inbuilt in me.
"It's more about what I like music to do. I've always seen music I like as a form of attack. That's what I use music for, it's an attack."
Despite their hard-hitting electronic sound they're famous for, the musician says he wasn't trying to make a violent album this time but it came as a result of his personal emotions.
"I didn't plan this album to sound violent, it's just the sound that came out of the studio, a kind of build up over the last 4 years. 'Anger is an energy', that's a lyric which always resonated with me. The tension is buried deep in the music right from the first drop. It's all about the sound having that sense of danger. That's what The Prodigy sound is about."
The band - which also features Maxim and Keith Flint - recently premiered their new single, 'Nasty', as well as announcing a 14-date tour which will take them across the UK.
