Motionless In White has been working on an album for some time now, but according to Chris Motionless, it’s going slow.
In a recent interview with Rock Sound, he shared insights into the process and explained why the band isn’t rushing to release anything. He recalled having a moment of reflection where he realized he needed to step back and focus on what truly mattered. “To me, it’s so wild because that time frame that you and I talked, and then shortly after Apocalypse Fest, I kind of just had this moment where I was like I just need to be honest with everybody and kind of see what the temperature of the room is within the band, within our team and kind of really have somebody say, ‘Hey it’s okay man, like you can chill for a moment.'”
“It was cool to see that everybody was supportive, ‘Hey don’t worry about dumb sh*t. That really doesn’t matter in the end, worry about you and the record and the things that are important.’ That was awesome to have that support system,” he said.
While fans have been eager for new material, Cerulli assured them that the band is committed to taking their time. “I obviously think the fans saw that and they were supportive as well of the situation. Since then I would say things have gotten a lot better. it’s still a slow process. I don’t have any expected release date. We’re going to work on it until we feel like we’re happy with it. It’s that simple and that plain and black and white. You’ll get it when you get it. That’s the narrative I’m sticking to, and that’s what’s best for everybody.”
Cerulli first revealed the band has been working on an album last year. While talking about how long it takes to make an album, he revealed they function differently than they used to. “Doing an album in three months just is not realistic anymore, at least not for us,” the frontman told MetalShop TV. “And that’s what we were used to back in the day. But that’s not our reality anymore. We’re taking our time with it. We’re doing tours in between.”
“And honestly, when it’s done, it’s done. I have no date that I’m announcing. It will be next year, that’s for sure. But I’m not even thinking about a date. I’m just writing the coolest songs that we could write. And we’re really excited about what we have,” he added.
It might take some time for fans to hear the album or maybe even a single, but Cerulli makes sure it will be all worth it.
