Motionless In White To Release 7″ For Fearless Record’s 25th Anniversary

Metalcore act Motionless In White are the ninth band to drop a 7″ for their old label’s 25th anniversary.

The Scranton, Pa., quintet will be dropping a 7″ featuring classic tracks from their time on Fearless Records (As It Is, Locket, The Plot In You). The tracks on the record are “Reincarnate”, the title track from their third album of the same name, and an acoustic version of “Sinematic”, which comes from their sophomore album Infamous.

You can purchase the record right here, but buy it now. At the time of publishing, only 458 remain.

Motionless In White signed with Fearless in 2008 and released three albums with the label. The band made an announcement in 2016 that they were leaving Fearless and signed with rock label Roadrunner Records (Coheed And Cambria, KoЯn, Stone Sour). During their time with Fearless, MIW played the Vans Warped Tour seven times from 2008 to 2018 and toured with Slipknot, Lacuna Coil, A Day to Remember, In This Moment, and For Today. They released their new album Disguise back in June.

Previous bands who released records for the series include Plain White T’s, Pierce The Veil, Mayday Parade, The Maine, Sugarcult, Every Avenue, I Prevail, and Alesana.
