Fever 333 announce new album ‘Darker White’ and share single ‘No Hostages’
Fever 333 have announced details of their new album ‘Darker White’, and have shared the record’s new single ‘No Hostages’ – listen below.
The album will be the first since the band’s huge line-up overhaul last year, and will be released on October 4 via Century Media Records, under license from 333 Wreckords Crew. You can pre-order it here.
The band have also announced a headline tour that will take them around the US in October and November, before they head to the UK and Europe for a string of 17 shows. See all dates below and find UK tickets here and US tickets here.
The album’s latest single is the thrashing, heaving, funky ‘No Hostages’, which will see its video premiere on Friday (August 16). For now, check out the track below, alongside the ‘Darker White’ album art.
“’Darker White’ is the intersection we will all find ourselves in at some point in our lives,” frontman Jason Aalon Butler has said about the new album.
“It is the struggle we will inevitably face when identifying our metric for good or bad. Wrong or right. Dark and light. All based on our environment, social construction and cultural/psychological conditioning. It is the eagle-eyed observation of said intersection and the removing the shame after realizing we all experience it and it is up to us to find use of this taboo so it can be offered to the world as a beautiful story, piece of wisdom or a perspective that ironically changes your life for the better. ‘Darker White’ is a sonic and social experience.”

Back in February, the band shared the blistering single ‘Ready Rock’, which paid homage to the Black artists who founded rock’n’roll, in honour of Black History Month.
That song was the second track to be shared by the band since their major line-up changes last year, following on from ‘$wing’, which will also be included on ‘Darker White’, as well as recent singles ‘Higher Power’ and ‘New West Order’.
After the departures of guitarist Stephen Harrison and drummer Aric Improta, Butler recruited Thomas Pridgen (The Mars Volta) as the new drummer, viral sensation April Kae on bass, and Brandon Davis on guitar, to form the revamped line-up.
Improta and Harrison, meanwhile, have launched their own band House Of Protection, releasing their first single ‘It’s Supposed To Hurt’, produced by former Bring Me The Horizon member Jordan Fish.
