When Motionless In White first emerged in 2004, they seemed to know exactly who they were aesthetically, but not so much musically. All too often, it seemed their gothic/nu metal/industrial blend was an enthusiastic cut and paste from other bands, and while there’s nothing wrong with having influences, it often left the Pennsylvanians looking like they were still searching for a sonic identity of their own.
2022’s Scoring The End Of The World album got them close to that goal, but while they’ll always doff a cap to Korn, Slipknot and Rob Zombie, on their seventh album, Decades, they’ve finally learned to harness that admiration and make it their own.
