Bio - from allmusic



While their hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania is mostly known in popular culture for being perfectly mundane, gothic metalcore band Motionless
in White make music that's anything but tame. Blending the raw fury of metalcore with the dramatic atmospherics of goth-metal and industrial,
the band has cultivated a dark and moody sound that owes as much to Type O Negative as it does to Slayer. Formed in 2005 while members Chris
Cerulli (vocals), Angelo Parente (drums), Mike Costanza (guitar), and Frank Polumbo (bass) were still in high school, they eventually become a
quintet after the addition of keyboard player Joshua Balz in 2007, the same year the band would release their debut EP, The Whorror, on
Masquerade. In the years following that release, Polumbo and Costanza parted ways with Motionless in White, with Ryan Sitkowski and Ricky Olson
coming on board to fill in the gaps, allowing the band to continue on after the release of their second EP, When Love Met Destruction, on Tragic
Hero in 2009. The group signed on to Fearless Records in 2010, and their first full-length album, Creatures, arrived that year, followed by
their sophomore effort, Infamous, in 2012. A third album, Reincarnate, arrived in the summer of 2014.

Album Review - from allmusic



Settling into the more industrial sound they started transitioning into with Infamous, Motionless in White deliver a more assured and consistent
performance on their third album, Reincarnate. Blending the dark and seedy edge of Marilyn Manson with a driving, melodic edge, the album
effortlessly combines the styles of the band's previous efforts, creating an explosive sound that feels more fully realized than anything
they've done up to this point. From the outset, the thing that listeners will be initially taken aback by is how massive the record sounds.
Songs like "Reincarnate" and "Dark Passenger" are packed floor to ceiling with monstrous guitars, twisting synth lines, and explosive drumming,
giving the music a density that would be overwhelming without Motionless in White's knack for melody, which allows them to hook in listeners to
even the most foreboding passages with ease. Not content to go at it alone, Reincarnate features some solid collaborations, with Cradle of
Filth's Dani Filth dropping by on "Puppets 3 (The Grand Finale)," In This Moment's Maria Brink lending her vocals to "Contemptress," and Tim
Sköld sitting in on "Final Dictvm." With the album running close to an hour, the guest spots help to add a little something different here and
there, mixing things up before they have a chance to go stale. With so much going on, however, it's hard to see how any Motionless in White fans
could be bored with the offerings laid before them on Reincarnate. With so much confidence and gothic swagger, it's hard not to be entertained
by this album, and listeners who may have been thrown by their inconsistent early work would do well to dive back into the abyss with this third
effort.

must be a single, the title track
scary stuff
