The Prodigy: Our New Album Won't Be Dubstep

The Prodigy have revealed that they won't be heading towards a dubstep on their new album.

The band are currently working on the follow-up to their 2009 studio album "Invaders Must Die".

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Radio One on January 5, Liam Howlett said: "All the dubstep stuff that's around, we're loving it, but that's not our game. We won't go near it.

"We've always had respect for the masters who do their game, those boys who do that sound [dubstep], that's what they do. We know what we do, and when any Prodigy record hits it'll still feel fresh," Howlett said.

The Prodigy will debut new tracks from their as-yet-untitled sixth album when they headline Download Festival next year.

The band will headline the event along with Metallica and Black Sabbath at Donington Park from June 8-10 2012.

Is it just me, or even though theyre a techno band, they still seem to have a really hard rock style and attitude?

I take it you're not too familiar with dance. They're not techno at all, they're D&B with rock undertones. All drums and guitar are done live.

So glad they're not resorting to brostep like plenty of artists jumping on the bandwagon these days. Have nothing against the genre (have been following Skrillex since his first EP), but I think The Prodigy revel best in their own sound. Can't wait for this album to drop, hoping that we'll see the return of some old-school rave!

Coming from someone who likes probably two Dubstep artists, this is great. I love Prodigy and I think them doing a Dubstep album could pull it off, but then I'd feel a bit appointed to hear them go that way. I'm also not sure why they would be on here, but they do have a rock influence in some of their songs. Though it is good to hear this. Will wait for their next album.

These guys are awesome, the original of the genre, They should definitely stick to what they do best.

Yep, you caught me, i dont enjoy listening to electronic music, but i do like The Prodigy. The fact that they can play at festivals with Metallica and Slipknot and hold their own is more than enough for me to respect them

And you know you've got it made when Dave Grohl asks you to remix one of his songs!

Liam Howlett is the man

[Feverrush]

good

Liam (and co) Have been ahead of their time, with every release, i know the sound quality (and somewhat CHEESEYness) of the Experience album, but it still holds quite well, and i quite enjoy it.
I thought their last two ( Invaders and Out-numbered) had a FEW greats, but not SOLID START THROUGH FINISH, ala Fat of the Land and Jilted Generation-
though this is only my opinion.. they still can rock a dance floor.
i know they'll blow my speakers... AGAIN.

PS. DAVE GHROL 'ALWAYS WANTED' to work with the Prodigy, and did on INVADERS... Run With The Wolves has his drumming... and the more i hear it, the MORE i
