Even more thrilled to finally have our album released after a year of nonstop work towards completing it.”

Touted as one of the “Most Anticipated” heavy albums of 2017, Alternative Press exclaimed, “MIW make sure to leave no gravestone unturned as they explore the vast underworld of rock,” on GRAVEYARD SHIFT, while Rock Sound declared, “Every cut brings something new to the table… tugging at the heartstrings one moment and cutting straight to the bone the next.”  Kerrang! declared, “Motionless In White are out to prove themselves the kings of goth-punk and their leader, Chris Motionless, is ready to march them into the black.”
