SUMMARY:Motionless In White & Beartooth
DESCRIPTION:\nWe show the world what we want the world to see. Expressions 
 enshroud our emotions. Countenances conceal our concessions. As a result\,
  truth only slips out in slivers and shards. Motionless In White withdraw 
 any and all veils on their fifth full-length album\, Disguise[Roadrunner R
 ecords]. The Scranton\, PA quintet—Chris Motionless [Vocals]\, Ricky Hor
 ror [Guitar]\, Ryan Sitkowski [guitar]\, Vinny Mauro [drums]\, and Justin 
 Morrow [bass]—hold nothing back.\n\nUnencumbered and unfettered\, the mu
 sicians uncover their heaviest and most hypnotic body of work to date.\n\n
 “We really aimed to write a serious record and wear our hearts on our sl
 eeves\,” exclaims Chris. “I don’t talk about things online or in pub
 lic. Instead\, I use our lyrics as a way to express what’s going on in m
 y life and my feelings. Things have been great for us on the exterior\, bu
 t there’s so much we had to work through together and personally behind-
 the-scenes. Everything comes out on Disguise. I tried to give fans a look 
 behind the mask and let them know what I’m dealing with on the inside as
  well as what they know of me on the outside.”\n\nListeners initially fe
 ll under the band’s spell in 2006. A pair of albums—Creatures[2010] an
 d Infamous[2012]—sent shockwaves throughout the culture with a combinati
 on of big screen-worthy imagery and incisive song craft. 2014’s Reincarn
 ate crashed the Top 10 of the BillboardTop 200 at #9 and clutched #1 on th
 e Top Rock Albums Chart. The title track emerged as a signature staple\, g
 oing Top 20 on Active Rock and racking up over 20 million Spotify streams.
 \n\n2017 saw Graveyard Shift accelerate their ascension. Not only did it c
 laim real estate in the Top 30 of the Top 200\, but it also produced a str
 ing of undeniable anthems. Tallying over 60 million cumulative Spotify str
 eams\, “Eternally Yours” crossed the 15-million-mark as “570\,” 
 “Loud (Fuck It)\,” “Voices\,” and “Necessary Evil” [feat. Jona
 than Davis] all broke 8 million. Alternative Press named the video for the
  latter “one of the best music videos of 2017.” Additionally\, Alterna
 tive Press bestowed an A-score on the record and described it as the “be
 st representation of Motionless In White.” Further critical acclaim came
  from Kerrang!\, Rock Sound\, MetalInjection\, and many more. As a live fo
 rce\, the band packed venues for headline tours and supported the likes of
  Slipknot\, Korn\, Breaking Benjamin\, and Marilyn Manson\, to name a few.
 \n\nIn 2018\, Motionless In White commenced writing for what would become 
 Disguise. During November\, they entered a Los Angeles studio with produce
 r Drew Fulk [Lil Peep\, Bullet For My Valentine]. By the start of recordin
 g\, they had amassed a wealth of ideas to build from. It marked the first 
 time they reteamed with a producer on two successive records and the first
  time they had accumulated so much material.\n\nEven as they “gravitated
  towards heavier and darker songs\,” Chris points to a newfound level of
  confidence bolstered by the enthusiasm of crowds everywhere.“Fans reall
 y responded to Graveyard Shift’s ‘Voices’\,” the front mangoes on.
  “I try to listen to what they like and what they don’t like. I recogn
 ized a common thread where they really love lyrics that represent personal
  struggles and triumphs. They clung to this one in particular\, so it made
  me more comfortable with opening up about myself.”\n\nThe first single 
 and title track “Disguise” allows him to do so. An eerie music box set
 s an ominous tone before gothic electronics entwine with thick distortion.
  The singer’s voice slips from haunting intonation on the bridge into a 
 cacophonous scream before a sweeping refrain punctuated by promises such a
 s “You will not put out the fire that burns within.” \n\n“ ‘Disgui
 se’ really speaks to the common theme\,” he admits. “It’s about my
  life\, struggles\, view on the world\, what music does for me\, and the c
 onnection we share between ourselves and fans. I’m letting everyone in.I
 ’m dealing with a lot in my head. I often felt like I had to bottle up m
 y emotions. It was like I was wearing a mask or a disguise. I don’t want
  to put the mask on to please others anymore.”\n\nMeanwhile\, “Brand N
 ew Numb”pairs raucous riffing and a danceable backbeat with a clarion ca
 ll chant. An undead rocker\, it climaxes on a dedication\, “This one’s
  for the underdogs!”\n\n“It’s one of the more fun tunes\,” he goes
  on. “It’s dedicated to our fans and upholds a message of individualit
 y and being oneself. The song represents that side of us and not worrying 
 about what anyone thinks. It’s a little less aggressive and way more of 
 an upbeat and good energy.”\n\nElsewhere\, a screech of synths snaps int
 o a guttural groove on “Code\,” which “shows how music is the univer
 sal language and even strangers can mutually bond over it.” The trudging
  drums of “Legacy” underscore an uplifting and undeniable message for 
 Chris.\n\n“You’re climbing the mountain and jumping hurdles on your pe
 rsonal journey\,” he elaborates. “We’re a lot better off as a band\,
  but we’re still on this road. It speaks to the energy of moving forward
 \, climbing higher\, and not letting life’s obstacles get you down. You
 ’re beating everything in your way. It’s a really relevant story to Mo
 tionless In White.”\n\nIn the end\, this story gets more powerful as it 
 becomes more personal.\n\n“It’s the same message\,” he leaves off. \
 n\n“I hope fans know there is a band out there who is fighting every day
  to represent the underdogs. We love being a part of their lives. To have 
 audiences take something from what we do and it be genuine is all we ever 
 asked for. I want to do what music did for me. I’m proud to say it feels
  like we have. Now\, I just don’t want to ever stop.\n
