Metalcore heavyweights Motionless In White will release their new album in 2025, according to vocalist Chris Motionless. While speaking to MetalShop TV (transcribed by Blabbermouth), the vocalist discussed the band's timeline for a new record.
"We're kind of in a situation right now where what I mentioned [earlier in the interview] about the last record having the time from the pandemic, that was amazing. And I feel like it's so obvious that that's the biggest factor why the last record was what it was. So, to me, I'm just, like, well, thankfully we're in a period of our career right now where I hope that we can afford that kind of time away where fans are, like, they understand that that's why we're gone because we're putting the time towards the album to make the best album we can make."
Motionless notes that the band is used to finishing albums in just a few months, but that's simply not the way they function anymore.
"Doing an album in three months just is not realistic anymore, at least not for us. 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."
In the interview, the singer also says that the thought of potentially losing support or momentum because of the time between albums is stressful, but Motionless and his bandmates won't put out a "half-assed record."
