Motionless In White Singer Chris Motionless On Upcoming Album: “When It’s Out, It’s Out”

During a recent interview with Primordial Radio, Motionless In White frontman Chris Motionless offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, “when it’s out, it’s out.”

Motionless said the following:

“We’ve been working on it all last year. We did the U.S. headlining version of [the ‘Touring The End Of The World’] tour in the fall of ’23. And that ended and I kind of just went right into working on the record and worked on it last year and going into this year. I’m taking my time. We’re taking our time with it.

I don’t want to feel like for any reason I felt like I had to push the record out, and I have felt like that. I’ve talked about it a few times where there’s that immense pressure to get more stuff out more consistently to fans or they’re gonna kind of leave you behind and forget about you. But I think I’ve since kind of just moved on from that and feel the most secure in that, just take your time and do the record that you wanna do, and at the end of the day, you’ll at least be happy with it no matter what happens. And that’s where I’m at. So we’re gonna go back in after this tour and work for a couple months and see what happens. And when it’s out, it’s out. But it is definitely being worked on. I would say the bulk of it is good to go, and I’m very excited about it.”

He also added the following about the musical direction:

“The last like three or four records, I feel, have all done a good job of dividing the time between the heavy, the emotional, the kind of artsy experimental tracks. We really just try to keep it from being boring and have the record tell a story through these different soundscapes and different atmospheres of heavy to not so heavy and everywhere in between. And I would say that’s just where we’re locked in at. There’s no desire within us to do an album that’s just all singing and abandon the screaming and some of the heavy stuff, because we need the heavy stuff. That’s in us that has to be written to feel like MOTIONLESS IN WHITE. But in the same token, we have to get the songs that feel like the more emotionally vulnerable songs, because that’s also what we need to do. And we just write what we feel, and that’s kind of just that spectrum of heavy to light and everywhere in between. I guess it’s pretty simple. So I would say it’ll be the same as the other records where it’s just a good mixture of it all.”

    I can only imagine the hard work and creative mind it must require to create new music to satisfy ones quality standards after the already phenomenal music Chris Motionless Cerulli and his bamdmates has already written recorded and performed. The exemplary talent I find awing and astounding. In my eyes Chris motionless Cerulli is not only a force to be reckoned with in the music industry but a champion of men in life. I will be cheering on Motionless in White as they ride the wave to the top with this new album!! Keep up the good work gentlemen. And Chris..don’t ever lose your light! Thank you for sharing your musical talents!!
