Invaders Must Die

Recording began in February 2006, shortly after the release of Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005, and ended in November 2008. Some of the songs recorded for the album, such as the synthesizer-led "Colours" were written before the release of the group's fourth album, and early versions were showcased in live performances. Liam Howlett conceived the album musical direction as a mashup of their previous albums. The new album was set to be released in summer 2007, but when the album's release date was postponed to the "first quarter of next year [2008]," the band had conceived over 25 ideas while completing production on certain tracks and writing lyrics.

Howlett revealed in an April 2008 interview that he had three more months of work left for the new album. He also said that he has a working album title and song titles, but was not ready to publicly announce them until these details were released through The Prodigy's official newsletter on 4 November.{{Citation

Invaders Must Die{{'}}s title track is the album's opening track, and its lyrics include the name of the group on the line "We are The Prodigy." The song is featured in many films and game trailers such as the film Kick-Ass and the Duke Nukem Forever game trailer.{{cite web| title = Duke Nukem Forever Reveal Trailer| publisher = Gearbox Software| date = 30 January 2011| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-b78TKZIyw| access-date = 10 January 2011}} The song was also featured in the 2023 video game Hi-Fi Rush. "Omen" has a similar tempo, and both tracks were co-produced by James Rushent. "Thunder" recreates elements from Trevor Joe's "Ethiopian Peace Song" (also known as "Rasta Peace Song"), while "Colours" is one of the first songs written by the entire band.{{Cite web |url=http://www.theprodigy.com/the-prodigy/biography |title=Biography |website=The Prodigy |access-date=25 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527205742/http://www.theprodigy.com/the-prodigy/biography |archive-date=27 May 2010 |url-status=dead }}Invaders Must Die liner notes

"Take Me to the Hospital"'s music video was The Prodigy's first to be released on the Vidzone application. The promotional film was filmed onto VHS rather than digital recording equipment to obtain an old school 1990s look. The track samples "Salami Fever" by Pepe Deluxé and "Ragamuffin Duo Take Charge" by Asher D & Daddy Freddy, and the name of the song comes from the record label of the same name. "Warrior's Dance" is one of the most progressive tracks on the album; the song chorus is a sample of the True Faith song "Take Me Away", which was then sampled and edited by Major Players in "Come with Me", the song where the vocals for this track come from. The song also samples "Final Cut", a song featuring Bridget(te) Grace. A festival of the same name was curated by the group, and took place at Milton Keynes.{{cite web |url=http://www.theprodigy.com/videos?task=videodirectlink&id=55 |title=Warriors Dance Festival – part 1 |publisher=Theprodigy.com |access-date=9 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001003208/http://www.theprodigy.com/videos?task=videodirectlink&id=55 |archive-date=1 October 2011 |url-status=dead }}

"Run With the Wolves", featuring Dave Grohl on drums, contains a sample of "So Refined" by Senser. This song was featured in the 2011 film Hall Pass. There was a contest to make a music video for the song, and the winning entry was posted on 15 February 2010. After a "reprise" of "Omen", "World's on Fire" follows. This song samples The Breeders' "I Just Wanna Get Along" and "Vamp" composed by Outlander. "Piranha" samples "Troubled Mind" by The Buff Medways and "Sara Zamana" by Kishore Kumar and Chorus, while "Stand Up", the only instrumental track on the album, samples "One Way Glass" from Manfred Mann Chapter Three. This song, along with "Omen", is featured heavily in the 2010 film Kick-Ass, and both are included on the soundtrack release of the album.

Invaders Must Die was chosen as the lead single from the album of the same name, and was released from the band's website as a free digital download on 26 November 2008. The download was announced in a newsletter sent to fans on 24 November, and first aired on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show as the 'Hottest Record in the World' of the same day it was released. Although it was not released as a commercial single, the song peaked at No. 49 in the UK singles chart,"The Prodigy – Invaders Must Die".

The digital version of the single was released on 17 April 2009 in Australia as an iTunes exclusive, while the "Edit" version with none of the remixes is also available. When released there, however, the song was titled incorrectly and the download was actually a song from the band Placebo; this issue was fixed shortly after its release.{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}} Three downloadable remixes of "Warrior's Dance" were sold via the group's website, while an extra remix was exclusive to iTunes.

Invaders Must Die was released as a CD, CD/DVD set, double-vinyl, digital download and a luxury-like 7-inch vinyl box set that includes five 7-inches, CD/DVD, bonus CD, poster, stickers and stencils.{{cite web|title=Liam H blog |publisher=The Prodigy |date=6 November 2008 |url=http://theprodigy.com/index.php/liam-h-blog |access-date=6 November 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081109203538/http://theprodigy.com/index.php/liam-h-blog |archive-date=9 November 2008 }} To coincide with the release of the album, the band embarked on a nine date UK arena tour, with support from Dizzee Rascal, Noisia, Herve and DJ Kissy Sell Out.{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}} The "Warrior's Dance" video aired on Channel 4 on 28 March at 12:00 am.

As with Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, initial critical response to Invaders Must Die was mixed. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 60, based on 20 reviews. One example was AllMusic, who called it "a curious nu-rave record, as though the sound of 1991 (such as their Top Ten hit "Charly") has been filtered through the sound of 1996 (such as their number one, "Firestarter") to emerge as nothing more than a hodgepodge of uptempo dance music with extroverted beats and grimy basslines.

However, it was a commercial success. The album debuted at the top of the UK Albums Chart on 1 March 2009 with 97,254 copies sold, giving them their fourth consecutive number one album in the UK. The album performed well worldwide as well, entering the top five in Poland,{{cite web|url=http://olis.onyx.pl/listy/index.asp?lang=en |title=Oficjalna lista sprzedaży :: OLiS – Official Retail Sales Chart |publisher=OLiS |access-date=13 March 2009}} Ireland,{{cite web|url=http://www.irma.ie/aucharts.asp#albums |title=>> IRMA << Irish Charts – Singles, Albums & Compilations >> |publisher=Irma.ie |access-date=13 March 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809064250/http://www.irma.ie/aucharts.asp |archive-date=9 August 2011 }} the Netherlands,{{cite web|url=http://www.dutchcharts.nl/showitem.asp?interpret=The+Prodigy&titel=Invaders+Must+Die&cat=a|title=Album Top 100|publisher=GfK DutchCharts |date=28 February 2009}} Australia,{{cite web|url=http://www.ariacharts.com.au/pages/charts_display.asp?chart=1G50 |title=Australian Record Industry Association |publisher=Australian Recording Industry Association |access-date=13 March 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100917080817/http://ariacharts.com.au/pages/charts_display.asp?chart=1G50 |archive-date=17 September 2010 }} Canada, Belgium and Germany.{{cite web |url=http://musicline.de/de/chartverfolgung_summary/title/Prodigy%2CThe/Invaders+Must+Die/longplay |title=The Prodigy – Invaders Must Die |publisher=musicline.de |access-date=22 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110910161250/http://musicline.de/de/chartverfolgung_summary/title/Prodigy%2CThe/Invaders+Must+Die/longplay |archive-date=10 September 2011 |url-status=dead }} The album debuted at No. 117 in the US but jumped to No. 58 in its second week.
