Mall goth metalcore band Motionless In White are back with a new single and accompanying music video for their track “Afraid Of The Dark.” It’s their first new music that the band says will be a “fist-in-the-air anthem that will be instantly beloved by the Motionless faithful.”
According to the band, “Afraid Of The Dark” pulls from their past, present, and future to create something special. Vocalist Chris Motionless explained how the track is rooted in the band’s history.
“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. 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.
“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.”
In addition to the new single, the band also has plans to spend this spring on tour with Bring Me The Horizon that also includes a performance at Madison Square Garden, Welcome to Rockville, and Sonic Temple. You can find those dates below.
