Sounds | Motionless In White - Afraid Of The Dark

Motionless In White brengt ons na een aantal jaar nog eens een nieuwe single! Met deze Afraid of the Dark laten ze ons goed voelen dat ze terug zijn van (nooit echt helemaal) weggeweest. Het nummer begint met een brutale scream die meteen je aandacht vraagt. Met stevige riffs en vocal lines wordt de eerste strofe dan tegen dezelfde intensiteit ingezet. In het refrein gaat het tempo even een beetje omlaag, om u dan in de tweede strofe weer even een slag in uw gezicht te geven. Een vette breakdown met noodzakelijke BLEGH maken de track op hun beurt compleet. Al bij al een zeer sterk nummer dat absoluut smaakt naar meer!

Ter info

"Afraid Of The Dark" connects MOTIONLESS IN WHITE's past, present, and future — mixing metallic fury with electronic embellishments. The result is a fist-in-the-air anthem that will be instantly beloved by the MOTIONLESS faithful.

"20 years ago, I stepped into a tour van with my best friends, having no idea what was next every mile we drove down the road," says MOTIONLESS IN WHITE singer Chris Motionless, pulling back the curtain on the song's origin story, which is rooted in the band's own history. "Funny enough, we broke down two hours later in the AM hours in a snowstorm. We had to sleep on the floor of a rest stop on the side of the Interstate and wait what felt like forever for a tow truck. We were forced to cancel the first few shows of our first tour ever, and to figure out how to scrape up every cent we could to try and get the van fixed and get back on the road. Nothing was ever going to stop us. There was never a doubt that we would find a way to live out our biggest dream and set a precedent for anything standing in our way."

He continues: "On our 20-year anniversary, that spirit is burning just as hot as it was on that day. We refuse to settle, refuse to let any opposing force stop us from clawing our way up from hell, and we refuse to fear the dark of the unknown. I want the story of MIW to inspire anyone listening to not fear the unknown, but to run head first into it with everything they've got. This song is about taking control of your destiny and writing the script of your own future without any doubt or apprehension. For those of you who have been with us for any part of the last 20 years, this one is for you. If you mean it, you will make it."
