Fever 333 - Darker White

Darker white is an album that will make you dance, cry, scream and gasp multiple times, all within forty minutes.    

Fever 333 take us on an emotional, shocking, heartfelt, stunning and complex journey throughout.   

This revolutionary album expresses how much needs to change systematically, in the most profound way. They have a distinctly unique way of delivering lyrics around suffering and injustices with the most beautifully intelligent interpretations.   

Computerized synth leading into spiraling sounds enables the most captivating rhythm which creates an atmosphere so distinct and intriguing. The album starts off with Fever 333 telling you what they?re all about with the first track ?NEW WEST ORDER? This song is a statement of how they will not be defined by musical and social norms. They have never conformed and speak about racial segregation, imbalances of power and class divisions. 

They express their originality instrumentally, with prolific lyrics and when they?re screamed, we get chills. Melodic and all consuming. Their expression of themselves musically has so much depth to it, it tickles the brain with sounds unheard of before. The instrumental sounds slowed down, the rapping fast and heartfelt, somehow like fast paced slow motion and completely unique; like walking backwards but severely talented about it and not bumping into anything.   

Lyrics state ?hop in motherfuckers?, we?re ready to be taken for a ride for the duration of this album.     

?HIGHER POWER? starts off with all instruments playing together at full force, and of course accentuated by screams. So disgustingly heavy, in the best kind of way.  

Meaningful lyrics of discrimination, injustice and oppression are recited. ?If we are all born equal, how can someone be illegal??  the unexpected choir like vocals towards the end blend effectively into Jason?s guttural screams. Explosions on drums and intense instrumentals are completely backing up the force of the words and makes you feel this song all over your body.  

The way they fluctuate between genres and paces is effortless and unexpected, they combine their talents but they also stand alone in their creative endeavors, nobody sounds like them and nobody could.  Our higher power is them.  

?BULL & A BULLET?, starts electronic sounding and leads into heavy rapping highlighting racism and social injustices. Such shockingly hard-hitting lyrics are emphasized by the haunting percussion. Vocals are layered for additional power behind the words. The guitar and bass play rolling notes sloping downwards, lowering our senses and making us feel reactive in the pits of our stomachs. Fever 333 is pledging allegiance to the ones who never received justice, it?s insanely powerful.    

The isolated and blended vocals are next level. There?s serious production precision and quality throughout this album.    

?That?s the way the system was designed? this song is non-conforming and a fuck you to what we are expected to deem as systematic and to not accept this, they create such expressions through the music, and we have visceral reactions which is something only the most talented of musicians can achieve. The instrumentals are perfectly combined with the storytelling. Such an accurate depiction of our unfortunately warped society.     

It?s clear already that not one song on this album will sound the same?    

?NO HOSTAGES? begins with riffs which elongate into high pitched notes emphasizing the ends of bars. The sharpness and unexpectedness of the guitars is incredibly precise. Double time rapping is elocuted with lyrics delivered wholly.  

It is a clear message of police brutality with such raw lyrics about humanity fighting to survive. It provoked tears. It?s not easy to create a song that has such a huge reaction to someone the first time hearing it but it?s so efficiently delivered by them as they make music straight from their hearts to ours. Lyrics are screamed ?Guns don?t kill people, people kill people? with integrated guitar scales that are insanely executed.  

Fever 333 always tell a story, this one is dark and filled with oppression, told fully and unapologetically. They highlight and challenge everything in such a conducive and constructively creative way.   

?$WING? is filled with so much attitude, it?s empowering. It proves it possible to dance to the most hard-hitting lyrics. There are so many layers to this song, all instruments merging and opposing each other in a way that just works. The expression of the lyrics is insane. It makes me want to throw my laptop out the window and jump straight into a mosh pit.  

The instrumentals with the on-beat rapping show their complete authenticity. When they change the lyrics of swing to sing, you can?t help but sing out loud.   

Jason screams the bridge, his fluctuations between lows and highs in alternations- shows he has such a huge vocal range and there is so much power behind his voice which he enables us to uses as a healthy expression of anger towards inequality.   

?MURDERER? features Jason?s beautiful singing. We all know he can rap, but his singing is stunningly chilling. All members of Fever 333 are multi-talented. The lyrics are startling but need to be expressed and recognized by the world. They go from being whispered to screaming full force;  ?Don?t engage and you might survive?  

Words warped at times and on purpose; powerful and unique. Such swiftly delivered lyrics backed up by fast paced and heavy guitar chords with riffs accentuating the words.  

Guitars are strummed with such intensity it vibrate like an electric zap to the brain. Lyrics delivered of ?he?s not here to save us, he?s hired to chase us? and ?Nowhere to go but up? which is deemed as a wordplay on heaven and about the fear of being murdered as an innocent person by the authority at any given time. 

Thundering bass is driving this song, and April?s talent shines throughout the whole album.   

We?re entering a new era of LOV333 and adoration for this band.    

?TOURIST?- sounds so underground and is an ode to how people might not understand each other?s struggle. Such catchy sounding choruses with politically engaged lyrics keeps us enthralled throughout.   

They make us feel a mix of emotions between smiling and grimacing towards hard-hitting beats which we applaud facially and lyrics that break us, changing our expressions and gut feelings rapidly. They confuse your senses and it works. It?s a summer-sounding tune with reality-stricken lyrics and so clever. It?s about ?Culture- close up? and defines the reality of how much different classes don?t understand each other. 

?NOSEBLEEDS? is my album favorite. It?s so empowering and emphasizes class divisions.  The rapping is so harshly delivered it?s contagious. The synthified sounds of the instruments take over your brain. It?s on another level of fuck the system while being disgustingly catchy, it?s unexpected throughout as there are such huge alternations between verses and choruses. Instruments crashing into each other in perfection with lyrics of unentitlement and loyalties initiates feelings of economic antagonism. Chiming effects lead us into a screamy bridge where Jason?s voice has such huge fluctuations from gravelly to high-pitched.  

Stand out lyrics of ?my life?s a movie you just showed up for the credits? show his annunciation is next level, there?s emphasis on all the right words delivered in urgent sounding staccato.  

?DO OR DIE? starts off with blurred synthy bass vibrating into words declared and spat with such power. The timings off on purpose while integrating instruments climb into our souls.   

Choruses which make it impossible for you to not nod your head along are surrounded by pumping beats and drum kick pedals which lead into a full instrumental mash-up with the most energy even known to a song. It?s consistently surprising with meaningful projections of heartfelt words, manic high-pitched frequencies and huge delivery on all parts. Sneaky guitar riffs make an appearance just before lyrics and choruses are belted. Screaming alongside the high pitched riffs in opposition ignites feelings in us we didn?t know were possible.    

?NEGLIGENCE? starts with booming static which turns melodic, more heartfelt lyrics; about collecting benefits and the unfortunately familiar for too many, struggle of poverty. Lyrics state ?Oh, you got some help? Where?d you get that from??  backed up by so many integrated instruments thrown in. ?We?re doing excellent thanks for all the negligence? lyrics that turn the system on its head. This song highlights the tensions that exist between social classes due to competition for limited resources and the inequalities of power. Their music is a huge part of their political activism.  

The beginning of the instrumental to ?DESERT RAP? sounds exactly like the name. Electric synthy reverbs sound crazy but somehow go perfectly with the up-and-down sliding scales on strings. Such a unique song with a catchy chorus about standing in your way and being trapped by the world. A powerful execution is given to all aspects of this song. It?s uniquely distinctive. The biggest screams with reverberating instruments are played with strings twanging at an alarming rate.  

Siren-like guitar playing double time gives the song a sense of urgency and paired with Jason?s screams sounds chaotic, there?s so many layers to this song with choruses rolling into instruments which are all overlapping each other in a condensed and intense three minutes.  

?DOA? starts with blurred singing and synthy keyboards, riffs are made to be bopped to. Lyrics of the lies the media tells you are projected while power chords unite. This could be a club hit but the lyrics suggest it?s not meant to be and are accentuated by unexpected reverbs and high-pitched frequencies with hidden meanings. ?poor little old me, tryna get rich so I can be free? Dubs at the ends of lyrical sentences are questioning why. 

?PIN DROP? started off quiet?. which didn?t last long. More political genius with lyrics so intriguing they immediately stand out ?they wanna make me a statistic? ?cause they?re making headlines out of dead minorities? You can hear the resentment behind the vocals and also the instruments which only the extremely talented can project. 

There are insane piano integrations that nobody could have expected. Fluctuations from complete silence to landslides of crashing instruments and guttural screams. The silence braces us and compliments the always-coming; abrupt screaming. 

They manage to consistently push themselves throughout this album, there are no limits to their endless talents, storytelling abilities and original ideas.    

?MOB MUSIC PT 2? is so heavy and low, that the bass sounds perfect with the sliding scales. It?s the only way to combat the controversy and it?s brave. Such clever plays on words delivered on beat with emphasizing adlibs. The sarcasm in Jason?s delivery during choruses is unbeatable.   

They can?t be defined by genre, and they don?t want to be. Lyrics repeat of ?This ain?t rap music, this that real mob music.? ?This ain?t rock music, this that real mob music? 

All songs have common themes but no song is the same as the other. Fever 333 is not just a band, they?re a political movement. Every single song is a movement in itself.       

I knew this album would be uncompromisingly hard hitting but nothing could have prepared me for what I just listened to, a genuine masterpiece, every aspect of it outdoing the last and completely shaking you to your core. Musically it evoked so many emotions. Fever 333 are extremely special.    

You could find something different in the songs every time you listen and I?d 1000000% recommend you to thoroughly listen but be prepared to never be the same again. 

There?s a fever coming?
