SUMMARY:Motionless in White at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:An industrial city situated in Northeastern Pennsylvania\, you could say Scranton quietly prides itself on a tried-and-true Rust Belt blue-collar work ethic. \nFor their fourth full-length album and first for Roadrunner Records Graveyard Shift\, Motionless In White—Chris Motionless [Vocals]\, Ricky Horror [Guitar]\, Ryan Sitkowski [Guitar]\, Ghost [Bass]\, and Vinny Mauro [Drums]—dug into the roots of their hometown’s pervasive attitude. \n“We’re a band that came out of the small town blue-collar spirit\,” affirms Chris. “We put ten years into growing this and working hard to do what we love the most. We look forward to putting in another ten. Both the area we come from and the fan base brought us to this point. Graveyard Shift is all about that work ethic. It’s been instilled in us. Early on\, we realized if you give the time and effort to chase a dream\, it’s possible to achieve it by the sheer amount of drive and passion you have.” \nSince 2006\, that ethos has fueled Motionless In White’s rise to the upper echelon of modern rock. Albums such as 2010’s Creatures and Infamous in 2012 would galvanize a rabid fan base around the quintet. During 2014\, Reincarnate reached new heights\, bowing at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 and claiming #1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums Chart. The title track and lead single turned into a Top 20 Active Rock smash and notched 13.2 million YouTube views and 9.8 million Spotify streams. Simultaneously\, they have shared stages alongside everyone from Slipknot\, Korn\, and Breaking Benjamin to A Day To Remember and Marilyn Manson in addition to making arresting festival appearances at Warped Tour\, Aftershock\, Rock On The Range\, Rock Allegiance\, and beyond. \nIn 2016\, they entered a Los Angeles studio with producer and longtime collaborator Drew Fulk [Emmure\, Crown The Empire] to record what would become Graveyard Shift. \n“It was all about writing bigger\, better\, and more refined songs\,” exclaims the frontman. “On Reincarnate\, we felt like we had discovered our true identity. This record wasn’t so much centered on experimentation as it was on refinement. In the past\, I feel like I always placed the vocals second to music. This time\, there was a focus on trying to make sure the vocals had their big moments. That was a major key in really making Graveyard Shift separate from all of the other albums. I haven’t really been able to look back at anything I would’ve done differently or something I didn’t feel like I put my whole heart into here. I just feel incredibly confident about everything on the record.” \nMotionless In White introduced this latest body of work with the galloping gut punch of “570”—the area code of Scranton and something of an homage to home. In less than three months\, it amassed 3.1 million Spotify streams and amplified anticipation for the full-length’s impending arrival. \n“Last summer\, I had the opportunity to meet with a lot of fans on Warped Tour and have some very intense\, personal\, and deep discussions\,” recalls Chris. “I walked away from these meetings feeling energized. Whether the conversations were dark or uplifting\, I was ready to approach anything in my way with how I felt afterwards. Our current single\, ‘LOUD\,’ is a direct result of that energy. I wanted to encourage people to feel the same way. It’s definitely one of the more powerful and inspirational messages on the album.” \nThroughout its 12 tracks\, Graveyard Shift weaves together various personal vignettes. From embracing one’s dark side on “Necessary Evil” [feat. Jonathan Davis] to the hypnotic and humorous ode to Danny Elfman’s influential body of work\, “Not My Type (Dead As Fuck 2)\,” the record remains unpredictable at every turn. “Eternally Yours” signals a first for the group. \n“It’s our first true love song\,” Chris goes on. “There was a very poetic and romantic approach. That’s something\, as a lyricist\, I have been trying to explore more of within myself over the past few albums.  It’s a special song for all of us.” \n  \nScranton plays a subtle role in the overarching narrative itself. Chris can recall finding early inspiration in the city’s once fertile music scene\, which slowly dissipated over the years. At the same time\, he and his bandmates have transported that energy worldwide with Graveyard Shift. \n“I like to think we’re taking our favorite traits of this area on the road and showing the rest of the world what Scranton created out of all that great camaraderie\, those friendships\, and the memories\,” he says. “We all come from the same spot. It’s something I think many people all over the world can identify with. We’re not content to just sit still and let life happen. We want to show you can take the initiative\, go out there\, and make a difference for yourself. That rings throughout all of the songs and speaks to the true meaning of Graveyard Shift.” \nUltimately\, Motionless In White have the power to electrify a new love for rock music in the process. \n“We’re quite a simple band in terms of our intent\,” he leaves off. “Turn off your head\, detach from reality\, listen to the music\, and enjoy the songs. That’s what we’re encouraging. We want to give people something to latch on to away from life’s bullshit. I hope they walk away feeling their love for music was either restored or upheld.” \n \n \nFit For A King harness the power of their brotherhood in order to perpetually push forward. The music contains traces of the members’ personal and collective experiences grafted onto an ever-evolving sonic palette of metalcore unpredictability\, alternative melody\, and deathcore brutality laced with electronic alchemy. As trends came and went in the background of the last decade\, the quintet— Ryan Kirby [vocals]\, Bobby Lynge [guitar]\, Daniel Gailey [guitar]\, Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary [bass]\, and Trey Celaya [drums]—have weathered trials and tribulations as well as enduring the chaos of a world constantly influx. However\, their bond stretches back to 2011 when Fit For A King unleashed their independent debut Descendants. They continually progressed with Creation/Destruction [2013]\, Slave to Nothing [2014]\, Deathgrip [2016]\, and The Path [2020]. Meanwhile\, 2022’s The Hell We Create marked their fifth Top 3 debut on the Billboard Top Christian Albums Chart and third straight Top 15 debut on the Top Album Sales Chart. Outburn applauded how\, “With The Hell We Create\, Fit For A King takes on a new depth\,” and KERRANG! assured\, “It hits hard in all the right places.” In 2025\, you can hear their strength and camaraderie loud and clear on their eighth full-length offering\, Lonely God [Solid State Records]. \n \n \nCall them heroes or hell-bringers\, it doesn’t matter to the men of Lorna Shore. On their fifth album—the declarative I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me—the New Jersey quintet are putting all of metal’s subgenres on notice. Because after one listen\, you’ll wonder what motivates them and what took metal so long to evolve. \nThere are all kinds of levels within the 10 tracks on I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me. Andrew O’Connor’s orchestral arrangements give the songs an epic\, cinematic feel that guides listeners into a mise-en-scene of their own creation. When the other members add parts\, the results are positively stentorian. De Micco can thrust into light-speed\, black-metal tropes and then downshift into the kind of phrasing one might hear from a ‘70s guitar hero. Ramos is clearly the heir apparent to the kind of vocal madness that Faith No More’s Mike Patton built his considerable reputation on. Add in the propulsive terror of Yager and Archey\, and there’s no reason for Lorna Shore’s collective feet to ever touch the ground. Hardly ordinary by anyone’s standards whether it’s deathcore or black metal\, there are things at work on Everblack that feel more like an extension of prog rock due to its extremity and big grandiose gestures. But by virtue of physical onslaught and wanting to divine truth from their music\, Lorna Shore have kept themselves fired up by torching up the metal rulebook at every turn\, practically demanding that other genres step up their game. \n \n \nStatic Dress is a British four-piece post-hardcore band from Leeds\, England. Formed in 2018\, the band currently consists of vocalist Olli Appleyard\, guitarist Vincent Weight\, bassist George Holding and drummer Sam Ogden. \nThe group signed to Roadrunner Records in May 2023\, swiftly announcing a Redux version of their debut album Rouge Carpet Disaster\, which includes 4 reimagined versions of album tracks. Until this point\, the band were independent and had released a smattering of singles\, an EP (Prologue) and an album (Rouge Carpet Disaster)\, as well as a demo version of the Prologue EP which was only available on CDs at Slam Dunk festival 2021.
