Motionless In White Release New Album ‘Decades’
Platinum-selling, Scranton, PA powerhouse MOTIONLESS IN WHITE have released their new album DECADES via Roadrunner Records.
“I can’t believe it’s finally the day to release DECADES into the world,” says singer Chris Motionless. “No other record means as much to me personally as this one does. The past two-and-a-half years of working on it have been some of the best and most challenging years of my career creatively, but integral to the story of what makes MIW the band that it is. 20 years of nothing but raw determination is what you will find on this record and I’m so grateful for every day we get to keep living our dreams.”
Fresh from a run of sold-out Australian shows this June, Motionless in White brought The Afraid of the Dark Tour to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Known for their powerful live performances and dedicated global fanbase, the band packed out Margaret Court Arena, Hordern Pavilion and Riverstage, delivering a set packed with fan favourites and tracks from their latest era.

Motionless In White are at home in the dark. For over 20 years, the quintet — Chris Motionless [vocals], Ricky Olson [guitar], Ryan Sitkowski [guitar], Vinny Mauro [drums], and Justin Morrow [bass] — have resided in their own shadowy corner of alternative music and culture. The group’s uncanny alchemy of metal, hardcore, goth, industrial, and electronic has magnetically attracted an ardent audience, fueling a quiet rise out of the Rust Belt and into arenas as a headlining force of nature. Their D.I.Y. work ethic drives the evolution of an immersive world where stunning visuals match the scope of the sound. The collective comes full circle on their seventh full-length offering Decades. For as much as it conjures their signature style, the LP sees them continue to confidently cut a path through uncharted territory, spreading a little darkness in their wake.
Decades features several high-profile and eclectic guest appearances. Corey Taylor, Sklyar Grey, and Dark Divine’s Anthony Martinez all 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.”
