Hot-tempers led to fights in the studio, excised songs and ultimately the break-up of the trio. Both Dave and Ego were bartending at the notorious Darkroom bar in the Lower East Side, ingesting loads of substances to keep pace with being up until 6am and traveling out to the studio to record during the days. “It was chaos”, says Dave of the time back in 2007 when he and Ego Sensation (bass/vocals) were recording with drummer/engineer Bob Bellomo at his studio in Passaic, New Jersey. Recorded during the band’s tumultuous early years, the music vibrates with the energy and volatility of a sonic boom. Six rediscovered songs accompany re-mixed versions of the original material, fulfilling the master arch of the pyre lit long ago. The Revenge of Heads on Fire consummates Dave W’s prototype for the 2007 release on Rocket Recordings, Heads on Fire, later picked up by Thrill Jockey. “’Don't Be Afraid’ alone makes Heads on Fire an essential listen for fans of contemporary psychedelia.” -All Music 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 “Don’t Be Afraid”. The roar of fire, swirling of oceans and hallucinogenic visions can be heard throughout the 75-minute journey.

Exploring themes of mortality, transformation and rebirth, the band reveals a spiritual depth unparalleled in previous works. Guitarist/Singer/Sonic Alchemist Dave W’s 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. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Ī screaming head on fire penetrated my chest, jolting me from the universal plane back to earth.” Limited Edition Splatter Vinyl Variant housed in a Deluxe Glossy Gatefold Cover exclusively available via Pre-Order directly from us.
