MOTIONLESS IN WHITE Readies for a Sonic Assault with 'Decades'
Prepare yourselves, metalheads—MOTIONLESS IN WHITE is on the cusp of unleashing their highly anticipated album, 'Decades', set to drop on July 17 via Roadrunner Records. In a recent chat with Kris Peters from Australia's Heavy, frontman Chris "Motionless" Cerulli expressed his palpable excitement, stating, "It's just an exciting time [to be so close to the LP's release]. I feel like we have been working for what feels like literally forever on the record, so it's still very weird for me to think that we even have singles out." At long last, the fruits of their labor are ready to hit the airwaves, and they promise to be nothing short of earth-shattering.
Cerulli elaborated on the musical direction of 'Decades', stating, "This [album] was definitely... trying to one-up what we've already done and catchier, heavier, blah, blah, blah." True to form, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE is not shying away from pushing their own boundaries. With every note and lyric, the band has taken fan feedback to heart, crafting a sound that melds their beloved elements with fresh energy. "I think the music... everything's heavier, but there's definitely much more energy," Chris added, noting that this album leans into a whirlwind of fast-paced anthems, with only one emotional ballad to punctuate the otherwise relentless ride.
The singles released thus far—"R.I.P." featuring Skylar Grey, "Playing God" featuring SLIPKNOT's Corey Taylor, and "Afraid Of The Dark"—have been heralded as a tantalizing glimpse into the album's core. Chris confidently asserts, "Yeah, I would say that usually you want your singles to try to be a good representation." These tracks encapsulate the essence of the album, showcasing an explosive blend of heavy riffs, emotional depth, and the relentless energy that fans have come to crave.
In the studio, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE was not afraid to take risks, recording 'Decades' across New York and Los Angeles with co-producers Drew Fulk and Justin "JD" deBlieck. The result? A cohesive sound that honors their past while boldly stepping into the future. "We're still grinding... we're going to preserve the heart, soul, and roots of where we came from," Chris stated with conviction. The band's evolution is not just a gimmick; it's a testament to their commitment to delivering raw, emotional, and heavy music that resonates deeply.
As the band gears up for their headline tour, dubbed "The Sweat And Blood Tour", they will be sharing this new material with fans across the U.S. from July 14 to August 15, with a noteworthy stop at the iconic Red Rocks. With support from LORNA SHORE, FIT FOR A KING, and STATIC DRESS, this tour promises to be a cathartic experience for all in attendance. Prepare for an unforgettable onslaught as MOTIONLESS IN WHITE plants their flag firmly in the landscape of modern metal.
