The band’s upcoming album Decades arrives on July 17 through Roadrunner Records
Motionless In White have revealed another new song from their forthcoming album Decades. The track “R.I.P.” features a very special guest appearance by Skylar Grey. The video was directed by Jensen Noen, who also lensed the “Werewolf” and “Sign of Life” videos for MIW.

The track evokes the power of a lover’s lament inscribed on a headstone. Piano twinkles through the haze of funereal synths, where the dual male-femal vocals entwine on an epic chorus boosted by soaring harmonies. It’s everything you want, love, and expect from Motioneless In White.
“Skylar’s voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own,” says singer Chris Motionless. “I really love the lyrics for this song. Even though I wrote it through a romantic lens, I love that it can be applied to any moment in your life when you’ve had a falling out with someone you deeply care about, whether that’s a best friend, family member, or romantic partner.”
He continues, “The song really hones in on the deafening silence that follows after you’ve said hurtful things to one another that you wish you could take back. It’s meant to capture the tension that exists in that quiet space of separation. You want to apologize and make things right, but you don’t know how. You want to tell them you love them more than anything and can’t live without them, but there’s a lot of pain on both sides that has to be confronted first. All the while, you’re left with the crippling uncertainty of whether the relationship can ever recover and move forward, or if it’s destined to be laid to rest and gone forever.”
Earlier this month, Motionless In White announced plans for an arena run in the fall. Special guests for the tour’s second leg will be Dayseeker, The Devil Wears Prada, and Dark Devine. Check out the full list of new dates HERE.
Last month, the band confirmed their new album Decades. The record is slated to arrive on July 17 through Roadrunner Records. So far, the band has released two singles – “Playing God,“ which features a powerhouse guest appearance by none other than Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor, and “Afraid of the Dark.“
“I can’t believe how aggressive Corey sounds,” Chris Motionless said about the all-new “Playing God.” “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.
The collective come 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.
“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.”
Motionless In White recently wrapped up an arena run with Bring Me the Horizon, which included a stop at the storied Madison Square Garden. This summer, Motionless In White hitting the road for a huge tour with some very high profile special guests. The band announced Tuesday plans for their Sweat and Blood Tour, which will hit arenas and amphitheaters this summer. Coming along for the ride are Lorna Shore, Fit For a King, and Static Dress.
The North American tour is the band’s first American headlining tour in nearly three years and kicks off on July 14 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with stops in Charlotte, Houston, Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, and more before wrapping up on August 15 in Sterling Heights, Michigan. It also includes a stop at Red Rocks, the band’s first time headlining the venue.
“By the time this tour begins, it will have been just under three years since our last U.S. headliner, and we are absolutely shooting for the moon to celebrate our return,” the band shares. “We could not be more excited to visit our American fans who have been incredibly patient with us, and can’t wait to give them the first performances of new material from our upcoming album. See you this summer!”
