Motionless in White’s new tour announcement comes fresh on the heels of its premiere of its new single, ‘Afraid of the Dark‘ and its companion video just last week. The new single is a powerful new composition that exhibits elements of Lorna Shore, Wage War, Ovtlier, and even Bleed From Within. The electronics and keyboards that open the song so subtly make for a wonderful sense of mystery (for lack of better wording) that leads into the driving arrangement that follows. The melodic metal elements, the clean vocals, and screams collectively give the song so much impact that listeners new and established alike are sure to appreciate.
The song’s lyrical theme has a rich background, which front man Chris Motionless explained in depth in a prepared statement.
“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,” he said. “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.”
Motionless continued, “”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.”
