Heavy Metal Titans Motionless In White Unleash New Album 'Decades'

Brace yourselves, metalheads! Motionless In White, the platinum-selling juggernaut from Scranton, PA, has officially declared the arrival of their highly-anticipated album, Decades. Set to drop on July 17 via Roadrunner Records, this release promises to be a tempest of sound and fury.

Today, the band has unveiled the haunting new single “R.I.P.” featuring the ethereal vocals of Skylar Grey. This track captures the essence of a lover's lament, elegantly woven into a tapestry of shimmering piano and haunting synths. It’s a heart-wrenching ode to loss, where Chris Motionless’s growls intertwine with Grey’s soaring harmonies, creating a chorus that will echo in your soul.

Directed by the talented Jensen Noen, who previously helmed the visuals for the band’s “Werewolf” and “Sign Of Life”, the music video for “R.I.P.” plunges deep into the emotional abyss. As Chris Motionless explains, “Skylar’s voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own.” The lyrics, drenched in raw emotion, resonate with anyone who has felt the sting of a fractured relationship, articulating the agonizing silence that follows the hurtful exchanges that can fracture even the strongest bonds.

But Decades isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a celebration of the band’s legacy and evolution. With guest appearances from heavyweights like Corey Taylor and Anthony Martinez of Dark Divine, this album showcases a sonic journey that spans their past while forging ahead into uncharted territory. Recorded in both Upstate New York and Los Angeles, co-producers Drew Fulk and Justin “JD” deBlieck have crafted a sound that is as cohesive as it is electrifying.

Chris Motionless reflects on the band’s relentless pursuit of innovation: “We were never afraid to take risks… We’re still grinding.” He promises that the album is a testament to their resilience and adaptability in today’s chaotic world, stating, “Decades is definitely heavier than some of our past albums. Our current world bred more aggressive energy, anger, and resistance.”

As they prepare to embark on The Sweat and Blood Tour, which kicks off on July 14 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and includes a monumental stop at Red Rocks, Motionless In White is gearing up to deliver a live experience that fans won’t forget. With support from Lorna Shore, Fit For A King, and Static Dress, this tour marks their first headlining run in nearly three years. The second leg, featuring Dayseeker and The Devil Wears Prada, promises to keep the momentum rolling well into November. This is the dawn of a new era for Motionless In White, and it’s going to be a wild ride.
