Jack White has announced the upcoming release of two brand new albums – his first new full-length collections in over four years. FEAR OF THE DAWN arrives everywhere via Third Man Records on April 8, 2022 and ENTERING HEAVEN ALIVE will follow on July 22, 2022.
FEAR OF THE DAWN & ENTERING HEAVEN ALIVE are available for pre-order on vinyl and CD now. In addition to the standard black vinyl version of FEAR OF THE DAWN, five limited edition vinyl variants have been announced and are also available for pre-order today. The variants include a midnight blue vinyl version with a screen printed jacket available to Third Man Records Vault Members in the Vault Novelties store, astronomical blue vinyl at select independent record stores, moon glow white vinyl at Target, and a split moon glow white & astronomical blue LP with an 11”x11” screen printed poster and Third Man Records compilation CD at Rough Trade Records. An exclusive slip mat is also available with the album only at Urban Outfitters. Details on digital pre-orders for both albums and vinyl variants for ENTERING HEAVEN ALIVE will be announced at a later date.
Today’s announcement is joined by the premiere of the official music video for “Taking Me Back,” directed by Jack White III and co-directed by Lauren Dunn (Megan Thee Stallion, Kali Uchis). Watch the video for the song -- which Brooklyn Vegan praised as “bashing, high octane rock” and Paste called “a return to White’s sweet spot” -- and subscribe to Jack White’s YouTube Channel HERE.
PLEASE NOTE: we are not releasing either of these albums as a Vault package.
Nice to see new music but kind of weird this isn’t just a double LP and two separate releases.
