 
Motionless In White are back in a big way not
only have they just announced a co-headline tour
of the UK with goth rockers Lacuna Coil but they
have also just released their third studio album
‘Reincarnate’ and it is easily their
biggest and best release to date and is hopefully
they album which will help catapult the band to
the next level.
With ‘Reincarnate’ Motionless In White
have grown in every way possible not only do the
band smash boundaries with their twisted industrial
metal core sounds but they have managed to create
an album that is so diverse that throughout in
you will notice massive influences from bands
such as Korn, The Murderdolls, Rammstein, Marilyn
Manson, Rob Zombie, Black veil Brides, Five Finger
Death Punch and many others.
The album kicks off with the explosive ‘Death
March’ the song is seriously massive sounding
and really sets the pace for the next 55minutes
as the band mix things up as they smash elements
of metalcore and industrial together for one hell
of an ride which see’s Chris Motionless
lay his vocals down in quite a soft way so similar
to the vocals of Marilyn Manson, before having
a slight rendition of Korn’s ‘Shoots
And Ladders’ towards the later part of the
song.
The album title track ‘Reincarnate’
also happens to be the lead single taken from
the album and it is easily the biggest anthem
on the album, the riffs are extremely chunky sounding
yet when the chorus kicks in and Chris Motionless
cries out “Crawling from hell fallen from
grace and there is nothing left to take leaving
the past to the grave so we can reincarnate”
in a melodic way the radio friendliness of the
song shines through.
‘Puppets 3 (The Grand Finale) is the latest
single to be taken from the album and features
Cradle Of Filth’s Dani Filth on guest vocals
and as soon as the song starts you are met with
machine gun style riffs and spooky screams and
as soon as the song hits the 30second mark Dani
Filth comes in with his fast flowing horror style
vocals with Chirs Motionless joining him 20seconds
later for an amazing battle off of vocals before
the melodic chorus hits giving the song a slightly
special feel.
‘Unstoppable’ really reminds me of
the softer side of Five Finger Death Punch and
I think that is down to the way that Chris Motionless
takes a totally different approach with his vocals
and lasts the majority of the song with the melodic
side of his vocals showing, apart from the epic
break down where he screams out “You wanted
a war, you got one motherfucker” which is
shortly followed up by a massive riffage session.
‘Everybody Sells Cocaine’ has the
potential to be a future single as the song is
bonkers from start to finish as Motionless In
white go down the industrial metal route with
massive synths and riffs charging out of your
speakers with Chris Motionless screaming “Just
do it, do it” in a frantic way.
‘Contemptress’ features In This Moment’s
Maria Brink on guest vocals and see’s Motionless
In White go down a more soft melodic route and
it works really well as the song ends up coming
across pretty damn huge once the chorus kicks
in.
The likes of ‘Generation Lost’ and
‘Final Dicvtm’ are both completely
crazy as both songs go all out with massive in
your face synths and with ‘Final Dicvtm’
taking the edge due to Tim Skold guesting on the
song and completely slaying it in such a good
way.
‘Dead As Fuck’ is a big fist in the
air fuck you song and it sounds like a cross of
Marilyn Manson mixed with Rob Zombie finished
off with a slice of classic Motion Less In White
and is a great listen from start to finish.
I feel that with ‘Reincarnate’ Motionless
In White have got to a point where they want to
progress and gain a bigger fan base and tear up
the bigger venues and I feel that by making ‘Reincarnate’
as big and diverse sounding as they have they
are certainly on the right tracks and deserve
every bit of success that is going to come their
way as ‘Reincarnate’ is a flawless
album which you can listen to again and again
without ever getting bored as the album takes
you through so many different music genres and
emotions.
5/5
