Once the underdogs, they\u2019ve risen to come out on top as they slay audiences the world over with their Goth-tinged metalcore. People either know them for their outrageous looks or their furious music or, even perhaps, for their incredibly positive vibe towards their legions of fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">After releasing their debut album <em>\u2018Creatures\u2019<\/em> via <strong>Fearless Records<\/strong>, support for <strong>Motionless In White<\/strong> seemed to increase tenfold. Following numerous tours, the sextet somehow managed to find time to record and release their latest offering, <em>\u2018Infamous\u2019<\/em>.<\/span><!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Deliciously dark opening track<em> \u2018Black Damask (The Fog)\u2019<\/em> starts off with haunting keys before giving way to a full-out attack. Chris Motionless\u2019 vocals instantly snap from incredibly clean-cut to low, guttural screams layered over gritty riffs. Tracks such as<em> \u2018A-M-E-R-I-C-A\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018Burned At Both Ends\u2019<\/em> weave powerful lyrics upon the listener, with charged, demonic drumming and discordant synths \u2013 <strong>Motionless In White<\/strong> are pulling out all the stops to hammer this album home, with hearty slabs of mighty bass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Throughout <em>\u2018Infamous\u2019<\/em>, the Sacramento sextet are scintillating; during<em> \u2018Hatefuck\u2019<\/em>, comparisons to Marilyn Manson\u2019s are inevitable. But the dark undertone of the track, teamed with cries of \u201cHatefuck\u201d create a tense atmosphere, exemplifying the sextet\u2019s skilled and tight musicianship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As<em> \u2018Hatefuck\u2019<\/em> trails off, it proves that <em>\u2018Infamous\u2019<\/em> is a step forward for <strong>Motionless In White. <\/strong>A gripping album that refuses to let up from the opening track, \u2018Infamous\u2019 is an album that needs to be on everyone\u2019s playlist, no matter what.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">4\/5<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>&lsquo;Infamous&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Motionless In White<\/strong> is out now on\u00a0<strong>Fearless Records<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><strong>Motionless In White<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motionlessinwhite.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Official Website<\/span><\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/motionlessinwhite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Facebook<\/span><\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MIWband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Twitter<\/span><\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/motionless1234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">YouTube<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"s3\">Words by Jess Tagliani (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JessTagliani\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@JessTagliani<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sacramento sextet Motionless In White have exploded onto the music scene.
