Motionless In White: Decades
Regarding the album and the band’s history Motionless In White frontman Chris ‘Motionless‘ Cerulli observes: “We were never afraid to take risks. This band has not only lasted two decades, but we’ve also outlasted all of the obstacles we’ve faced. 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.”
The title of the band’s seventh album marks their 20th anniversary.

The album finds the band returning to its roots with a collection of covers honoring some of Rock’s most timeless hits.
The set features renditions of Queen’s “Spread Your Wings” and Climax Blues Band’s “I Love You.”
“‘Homage’ is a thank-you note written in sound,” comments Tesla. “An offering to the great singers and songs that shaped the music we grew up listening to, and the songs we would eventually write.”

The New York City Post-Hardcore veterans fifth album contains the singles “Regenerate,” “Get To It” and “Crystallize.”
“‘Regenerate’ is about finding new paths forward,” offers guitarist/vocalist Walter Schreifels. ‘’Get To It’ is about ‘getting to it’, poking holes in the excuses for standing still.”
Schreifels concludes saying: “For this album, I was going back to a lot of my earlier influences about ‘break down the walls’ or ‘start today.’
