Get ready for an electrifying performance as American rapcore powerhouse Fever 333 takes the stage at the NTC Arena in Bratislava, Slovakia. Recorded on May 28, 2022, during their opening act for Korn, this live rendition of “One of Us” from their second studio album, Strength in Numb333rs (2019), is a powerful anthem that transcends musical boundaries.
“One of Us” delves into the band’s core principles of community, charity, and change, symbolized by the “333” in their name. The trio, comprised of ex-Letlive vocalist Jason Aalon Butler, ex-The Chariot guitarist Stephen Harrison, and Night Verses drummer Aric Improta, seamlessly blends rock, metal, and hip-hop in a sonic fusion rooted in subversion.
The lyrics of “One of Us” confront the themes of marginalization, oppression, and the urgent call for unity against injustice. Fever 333 challenges the portrayal of historically marginalized groups as minorities, asserting that they constitute a powerful majority in society. The song encourages listeners to resist systemic injustice, refusing to accept a fate of submission.
The lyrics poignantly address how those in power manipulate laws and policies to perpetuate oppression. Lines like “A law you did not make is gonna seal your fate” and “They gotta isolate, they gotta segregate this/Just to keep us down” underscore the deep-seated nature of systemic injustice and the deliberate efforts to maintain the status quo.
Fever 333’s incendiary performance at NTC Arena captures the raw energy and socially conscious fervor that defines their music. Signed to Roadrunner Records, Fever 333 continues to use their platform to amplify messages of change, solidarity, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Witness the intensity as Fever 333 declares, “One of Us” at the intersection of rapcore, rock, and activism.
