MOTIONLESS IN WHITE SHARE NEW SONG
Celebrating two decades of dominance, Motionless In White are proud to unveil their latest single, ‘AFRAID OF THE DARK,’ out now alongside its official music video.
The track serves as a bridge between the band’s storied past and their evolving future, seamlessly blending their signature metallic ferocity with modern electronic textures. It is a quintessential, "fist-in-the-air" anthem designed specifically for the dedicated Motionless faithful.
Frontman Chris Motionless provides a vulnerable look into the band’s humble beginnings and the relentless drive that shaped this new release: "20 years ago, I stepped into a tour van with my best friends, having no idea what was next every mile we drove down the road. Funny enough, we broke down two hours later in the AM hours in a snowstorm. We had to sleep on the floor of a rest stop on the side of the Interstate and wait what felt like forever for a tow truck. We were forced to cancel the first few shows of our first tour ever, and to figure out how to scrape up every cent we could to try and get the van fixed and get back on the road. Nothing was ever going to stop us. There was never a doubt that we would find a way to live out our biggest dream and set a precedent for anything standing in our way."
That same unyielding fire remains the heartbeat of the band today, two decades later: "On our 20-year anniversary, that spirit is burning just as hot as it was on that day. We refuse to settle, refuse to let any opposing force stop us from clawing our way up from hell, and we refuse to fear the dark of the unknown. I want the story of MIW to inspire anyone listening to not fear the unknown, but to run head first into it with everything they've got. This song is about taking control of your destiny and writing the script of your own future without any doubt or apprehension. For those of you who have been with us for any part of the last 20 years, this one is for you. If you mean it, you will make it."
From their early days stranded in snowstorms to becoming titans of the genre, Motionless In White have been going from strength to strength, consistently redefining their sound while maintaining an unbreakable bond with their audience.
Motionless In White are set to make a triumphant return, prepared to "raise hell" across the UK and Europe with a monumental headline tour throughout February and March 2026.
