It seems both like almost no time at all and all the time in the world has passed since Motionless in White released new music, but Scoring the End of the World was released just a couple of weeks ago, and it was a welcome sound to my ears.

Since I will be catching Motionless in White this weekend at Inkcarceration Music Festival, here are some drawings from the last Warped Tour my sister and I saw them at. We even got them signed!
Read moreConcert Review: Motionless in White Deadstream 2
I really believe this is the last of the live stream concerts, and I couldn’t be more excited by that! What a great way to end this strange fad with by seeing a band really get to live out there dream? That’s right, Motionless in White front man, Chris Motionless has always wanted to perform at a cool venue like a haunted house. He got pretty close by getting to stream a show at Pennsylvania’s haunted Pennhurst Asylum.

I love this drawing because it’s part self-portrait, part contest submission. Motionless in White had an album cover contest for Graveyard Shift and I knew I had to enter! Although I didn’t win, I was still really proud with how the final product turned out.

The livestream concerts continue! This time it’s was with a band I have seen many, many times before in a live setting: Motionless in White! As I’m sure I’ve said before, this is my sister’s favorite band, so I’ve seen them close to a dozen times and have grown to appreciate their work. When I saw the announcement of the “deadstream” as they called it, I thought on it for about two minutes before I dropped the cash on it. If anything, me participating in these livestreams is at least helping out bands and their crews during this hard time.

That’s right folks, I am starting off 2020 better than 2019 solely based on the fact that I’ve already been to a concert! What’s better? The fact that it was Motionless in White, who my sister and I did not see a single time last year. That’s a crime.
Read moreAlbum Review: Motionless in White, Disguise
I know I was slow to become a Motionless in White fan, and I credit my sister 100% – she’s obsessed. I also grew to like them after some chance encounters with the members; all of the guys were genuinely nice! It seems like they are constantly touring, so I’m always surprised that they manage to put out new music every couple of years. And it’s good music, too! Not a lot of bands can say that really. So it comes at no great revelation that the new album, Disguise, is a strong one. It’s very eclectic for them, so there is something everyone should like.
The two singles that debuted before the album’s release last weekend were solid, and would appease old and new fans alike. Title track, “Disguise,” was gritty and intense, much like most of their catalog. I was a bigger fan of “Brand New Numb,” as it was still heavy, but a lot more clean vocals which I’m a fan of from them. The rest of the album goes to all corners of creativity, most evident in the techno efforts of “</c0de>” (my personal favorite), and “Legacy,” which was a much slower paced song. For those die-hard old-school fans, “Undead Ahead 2: The Tale of the Midnight Ride” is a nice nod back to their first record, and my sister’s favorite, Creatures.
Like I said, there is a lot to like here in Disguise‘s ten tracks! I also appreciate that the band has evolved in small steps over their past five full length releases. If you change too much from one record to the next you’ll get ripped to shreds like Bring Me the Horizon, but bands get bored of doing the same old thing, so I think they’ve mastered the art of mixing their new interests with fans’ old ones. Bravo!
