Description

The Prodigys Firestarter, a groundbreaking track from their 1996 album The Fat of the Land, was born from a fusion of rock influences and raw energy. Band leader Liam Howlett crafted the song using a guitar riff inspired by The Breeders, layering it with ferocious drums and aiming for a band-in-a-room feel. Frontman Keith Flint, known for his wild improvised raps, recorded his debut vocal spontaneously, capturing the songs fiery essence. The raw power of the home demo prevailed over a polished studio take, and Firestarter became a global hit, redefining The Prodigy and cementing Flints legacy.
