Invaders Must Die - Background

Background

During the Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned tour, the band debuted two new songs, "Warning" and "Dead Ken Beats"; the former features Keith Flint on vocals and consists of heavy bass lines and guitar riffs, while the latter includes a sample of the Dead Kennedys' song "California Über Alles", and vocals by Maxim. At the Sheffield and Birmingham gigs (16 May and 17 May 2008 respectively), the bands played a new version of "Dead Ken Beats", while debuting "World's on Fire", "Warrior's Dance", which became a single from the forthcoming album, and "Unstoppable". At the Gatecrasher festival on 25 May 2008, the band performed an outtake named "Mescaline".

The band played another new track during the Their Law tour. The song, which was printed on a setlist as "Heatwave", is thought to have been renamed "Heatwave Hurricane", due to Liam Howlett listing it among his favourite songs in 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 Howlett's Back to Mine compilation.

Famous quotes containing the word background:

    I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    ... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
