The Prodigy's 5th studio album is expected to be released in 2008. Although the tracklisting is unknown, the band have played a number of songs live.
[edit] History of Recording
During the Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned tour the band debuted two new songs, "Warning" and "Dead Ken Beats". "Warning" features Keith Flint on vocals and consists of heavy basslines and guitar riffs, whilst "Dead Ken Beats" contains a sample of the Dead Kennedys' song "California Uber Alles" that features prominently throughout, and has Maxim doing vocal duties.
Another new track was played during the "Their Law" tour, which was printed on a setlist as being called "Heatwave". It is thought that it has been renamed "Heatwave Hurricane", due to Liam listing it as this among his current favourite songs for a recent interview. It has been described as "something like a cross between "Hotride" (live version) and the "Firestarter" remix". A short clip can be seen on YouTube, revealing that the song includes a sample of "I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time" by The Third Bardo, a song which is also featured on Liam's Back to Mine compilation. The new album was set to be released in summer 2007, however in a recent interview Liam Howlett quoted "The album will be first quarter of next year, with 1 single before. It is going well and we are loving it. There are a lot of ideas, maybe 25, we are now starting to finish the best tunes and getting vocals written".[7] An interview by Andrew Parks (April 7th, 2008) revealed that Liam Howlett has three more months of work for the new album left. He also said that he has working album title and song titles.[8] At the Sheffield gig (May 16th, 2008), the band played two new tunes: "World's on Fire" and "Warriors Dance", and they played a new version of "Dead Ken Beats", none of which have been in the setlist since 2006. At the Birmingham gig they played "Unstoppable" and at Gatecrasher Festival (May 25th, 2008), the band also played one new tune: Mescaline.
