It’s finally here. After releasing ‘Afraid of the Dark’ earlier in the year accompanied by a UK tour run, the cats finally out of the bag – MOTIONLESS IN WHITE have announced more music!
Platinum-selling, Scranton, PA powerhouse MOTIONLESS IN WHITE have just announced their new album DECADES. It arrives July 17 via Roadrunner Records. Pre-order it here.
Today, the band has also dropped the lyric video for the ferocious new single ‘Playing God’ (Featuring Corey Taylor).
Watch it here.
Chris Motionless is thrilled with how ‘Playing God’ came out with Corey Taylor at the forefront…
“I can’t believe how aggressive Corey sounds,” Chris Motionless declares. “It’s an observational commentary on toxic internet culture and the people who perpetuate it. The internet has gotten worse and worse to the point where only negativity, hatred, and lies are at the forefront of everything you see. It’s very frustrating because I thought social media was supposed to be a mechanism to connect, but all it does is divide.”
Decades features several high-profile and eclectic guest appearances. In addition to Taylor, Sklyar Grey, and Dark Divine’s Anthony Martinez also feature on the album. The band recorded Decades in Upstate New York and Los Angeles with co-producers Drew Fulk and Justin “JD” deBlieck and ultimately incorporated their past, present, and future sounds into one cohesive sound. This is Motionless at their very best.
“We were never afraid to take risks,” observes Chris. “This band has not only lasted two decades, but we’ve also outlasted all of the obstacles we’ve faced. We’re still grinding. No matter how far we expand the universe that is Motionless In White, we’re going to preserve the heart, soul, and roots of where we came from. We are never going to abandon heartfelt, emotional, and heavy songs. We are never going to abandon what mattered to us the most when we started. We’re finding new ways to emphasize those stories with exciting sounds and looks, but the vision is the same. It’s always been this grand, dramatic, and theatrical entity. I’m proud we haven’t gotten comfortable.”
He finishes, “Decades is definitely heavier than some of our past albums. Our current world bred more aggressive energy, anger, and resistance.”
If ‘Playing God’ is a taster of what Decades has to offer, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE fans can expect big things to come from the Scranton, PA metal giants.
