You can find more from Butler over at NME. I’ve taken that leap to disclose my own relationship with the things I’ve lamented in the past.”Īccording to Butler fans can expect to hear some new material from the album before the end of the year, with the record itself following in 2023. Although it’s microcosmic, we’re all interconnected so my story does relate to others in some way. It’s the first time I’m actually talking about myself within it, rather than all of us. This time, this is what I’ve experienced, these are my truths. “All of the previous Fever stuff was observational, what I saw and what I studied. These are the most authentic representations I can offer.” He also spoke of the direction of the lyrical content on the record, stating: Something in its own lane hopefully.”īutler went on to describe the album as a hybrid of “punk rock, rock’n’roll, metal, hardcore, rap, hip-hop, spoken word, a little bit of trip-hop, a little bit of break.” He continued, “I’m really finding a space that’s authentic to me and then applying it, versus genre-sampling and taking things off the shelf, throwing them in the pot and hoping they work. I’m really excited to offer something that doesn’t necessarily fit into a place but rather runs concurrently in the progress that is art and music. I’ve finally created songs and elements of what that really means to me.

When the topic shifted to Fever 333‘s next studio album, Butler had some encouraging news for fans of the experimental rap metal activists: He’s one of the best to ever do it, so I wouldn’t be opposed to it.” I feel like Chino is the one person that I observe as being truly authentic about the hybrid really understanding hip-hop, rap, rock, trip-hop, and these things that I find to be extremely attractive in alternative music and putting them all together. When asked by NME if he would like to collaborate with Deftones one day, he replied: It’s broken but it’s benefitting me in that moment.” To go from that to becoming a huge fan, then to be on stage with them singing a song from ‘ Around The Fur‘ – it’s beyond a full-circle moment. He had the high socks, the Dickies down to here, bleached hair. They’re quite literally the reason I said I wanted to start playing rock music in a band was because I saw Chino jump off the PA stack at the Velodrome at North Ridge at the 1996 Warped Tour. I crowdsurfed, crossed the barrier, got on stage, and got to grab the mic. At that moment, I turned back into a fan. He didn’t tell my anything, he just beckoned me and was like, ‘Come sing this part’. “We’re homies now so I was just watching.
