Description
Pure psychotropic madness. A screaming head on fire penetrated my chest, jolting me from the universal plane back to earth. Guitarist / Singer / Sonic Alchemist Dave Ws vivid fever dream ignited The Revenge of Heads on Fire, White Hills latest release, which harnesses the energy of ferocious, hedonistic rock with blissful passages of dark ambience. Exploring themes of mortality, transformation and rebirth, the band reveals a spiritual depth unparalleled in previous works. The roar of fire, swirling of oceans and hallucinogenic visions can be heard throughout the 75-minute journey. From the intrepid prelude The Instrumental Head to the closing punk blaze of Eternity, the album ebbs and flows, smoldering and seething in the middle with the 21-minute mammoth opus Dont Be Afraid. The Revenge of Heads on Fire consummates Dave Ws prototype for the 2007 release on Rocket Recordings, Heads on Fire, later picked up by Thrill Jockey. Six rediscovered songs accompany re-mixed versions of the original material, fulfilling the master arch of the pyre lit long ago. Recorded during the bands tumultuous early years, the music vibrates with the energy and volatility of a sonic boom.
