Fever 333 “Strength In Numb333rs” (2019) // Isn’t Stray From The Path already occupying this space? Snarling rap-rock angst mixed with alternative. As Butler’s supergroup trio unleashes their debut full length, it falls to mixed reviews. It seems like the band is picking up well, with countless festivals on their radar this year, but I think most folks expected a little more from the outfit, as Aric Improta’s work in Night Verses and Stephen Harris’ catalogue (The Chariot), and also Letlive’s career, sort of distract many from what’s going on here 1/3 @therecentlyadded MUSIC •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #therecentlyadded #newrelease #musicblog #purenoiserecords #sumerianrecords #nuclearblastrecords #seasonsofmist #relapserecords #sharptonerecords #riserecords #powertrip #epitaphrecords #vein #periphery #metalbladerecords #parkwaydrive #behemoth #revocation #deathwishinc #ironreagan #everytimeidie #letlive #forthefallendreams #theamityaffliction #aftertheburial #bornofosiris #archenemy #nyc #hxc https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs5mlkogFk3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16vsl9pns21sn

FEVER 333 - STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS

 Track List:

...

BURN IT 

ANIMAL

PREY FOR ME/3

ONE OF US

INGLEWOOD/3

THE INNOCENT

OUT OF CONTROL/3

AM I HERE?

COUP D’ETALK

These guys only formed 2 years ago in 2017 and the group is comprised of ex-Letlive vocalist, Ex-Chariot guitarist and Night Verses former drummer in Inglewood, California. This is their first full length studio album with their previous material being on the 2018 EP Made An America. So here is quite a tasty looking prospect with the prestige of the members previous works so lets see how moving on works out for them.

This album flicks through genre styles like no ones business, rap, rock, metal, punk, pop, indie pretty much everything. I’ve never quite heard anything like it, the powerful lyrics and themes use these changes to reflect their mood and it’s absolutely beautiful. “Animal” is a pretty stable track got softer vocals with the slight overlap with harsher ones for effect in the chorus lines, pretty upbeat bouncy track. “Burn it” has more of that Hyro the Hero feel with the rap style verses but elements of Linkin Park and Crossfaith with the electro sounds and distortion. Possible my favourite is ��Prey for Me/3” because it’s got bits of everything, a huge infectious chorus, build ups, breakdowns, grit, soft, everything! “one of Us” comes in at a very close second throw a bit of Die Antwoord in there with those opening and closing female vocals but then the big chorus line and shifting styles. “The Innocent” has huuuuuuge future anthem vibes with the gorgeous gang vocal focused chorus amidst the smash and grab of the different parameters of their style utilising screams, gritty metal and a more upbeat dance infused rock style. The autobiographical account which is “Inglewood/3” depicts and awful story of life and society through sheer anger and disappointment, a heavy message put out there we should all be able to feel on every level. 

Safe to say I really do love it, it's a beautifully crafted and distinctive album. It’s not breaking into any new styles of writing, more of a perfectly honed new approach to the current market. What this actually is, is a piece of art that's been unleashed into the world as a part of what I hope is a continued development and future contention for some of the bigger slots on festivals and chart ratings in the near future.

Single Review: “Burn it” by The Fever 333

Now, perhaps more so than ever, it seems that artists are using their platforms to take a stand and convey their stances on political and societal issues. There are plenty modern days bands in existence that aren’t necessarily trying to preach from their pulpit but are attempting to stimulate listeners’ minds, maybe even getting them to reassesses certain things. And no group seems to be as earnest about that as The Fever 333. The band – described by many as a supergroup due to it being comprised of Jason Aalon Butler, Stevis Harrison and Aric Improta, all notable musicians who have logged time in various respected projects – has had a whirlwind year. The Fever 333 has gone from being almost unknown to being one of the most raved about up and coming bands thanks in part to a string of shows at several major festivals. That occurred shortly after the trio released their debut EP, which solidified the fact that their music is explicitly tied to current events of the country and beyond. And now focus has shifted to their future, specifically their debut full-length album, Strength In Numb333rs – which is set for release on January 18th, 2019 via Roadrunner Records. The lead single from it, “Burn it”, is something slightly different for the group, as they push their boundaries and explore some new territory while overall keeping it rooted in the style that they have crafted as their signature sound.

The hip-hop influence that has been so prevalent on previous material is slightly more subdued in this instance. By no means is that to suggest that it’s nonexistent, however; Butler, Harrison and Improta having struck up more of a balance between an aggressive post-hardcore/hip-hop style of music and something that is surprisingly melodic. Vocally speaking it’s incredibly rhythmic throughout, though Butler does tap more into his singing voice for the refrains; and most shocking of all is how complementary those conflicting styles are, blending together to create something edgy and thrilling while also being refined by just the appropriate amount, granting it a broader appeal that is certain to appease many. Lyrically, “Burn it” artfully deals with various forms of racism, all coming from the perspective of someone forced to endure it, pushed to the brink because of it and more than ready for change from the top down. It not so discretely alludes to institutions of power and how some members of them – or even the group as a whole – abuses their station, sowing more discord among the community rather than helping it; the line from the first verse, “…Got us pledging our allegiance to a hand that doesn't feed us…” nicely summarizing the core feelings behind the track. As it progresses it further explores that mindset, striving to make one understand how perpetually feeling betrayed by forces that are supposed help people can, understandably, change their views towards them. It transcends simply feeling disenfranchised, though. The pre-chorus quickly turns “Burn it” into a rallying cry as it names a few prominent historical figures who were black, as if imploring people to embody each trait they exemplified, wielding not only hands but words and thoughts as weapons. That fighting spirit that is embodied by that segment quickly gives way to the anthemic chorus, one that leans towards civil disobedience -- something imperative in order to redistribute the power so that its more equal and balanced. “You know, sometimes you gotta burn it down to build it up again…” Arguably the strongest quality of “Burn it” is how visceral it is. It’s going to make the listener feel something; the aggressive method of storytelling and songwriting that The Fever 333 has made into one of their hallmarks being exemplified on this track. The music and lyrics work in brilliant harmony, each being bolstered by the other. It’s gritty, clearly building to something, ultimately becoming wonderfully chaotic as Improta goes all out on the drums. That forces Butler into the best possible form, a certain urgency noticeable as he passionately belts out the lyrics, investing every fiber of his being in his delivery. For anyone who wants to, you probably could make comparisons between The Fever 333 and other acclaimed bands of the past. Still, what they’re doing isn’t fully rap rock, though. There are echoes of what past outfits have done, though Butler, Harrison and Improta have also created something distinctly their own. Something that is more reflective of this modern age, with a new flare packed in to it. “Burn it” just hints at what is to come from Strength In Numb333rs. It strongly suggests that they’ve managed to capture the spirit and energy of their live performances in what they’ve recorded in the studio, being an accurate representation of everything that The Fever 333 is. This lead single is brimming with energy, so much so that it’s palpable even through a pair of headphones (or earbuds). There’s no reason to think that won’t be a constant throughout their forthcoming album. An album that will surely have a lot more to say about society as a whole, and one that will in all likelihood take this still relatively unknown group to the next level.
