Motionless In White Wants to Give You Their "Thoughts & Prayers"
July 1st, 2021 the heavy metal band Motionless In White released their music video for their single “Thoughts & Prayers” off their 2019 album ‘Disguise’.
Due to covid and quarantine, the band had not been able to continue their tour for Disguise nor release any new music videos. Well, the wait was worth it because they finally got back together to give us this amazing new video showing the band in their true element featuring Justin “JD” deBlieck formally in Ice Nine Kills with another ex-bandmate Justin Morrow who recently joined the band before covid hit in 2019. The video in its entirety showcases many elements of joining a religious cult and the downfall of them and ending in bloodshed.
“Thoughts & Prayers” is the 6th music video released for their last album `Disguise’. Fans have patiently waited for another music video of the beloved album that had fans floored with their growth and sound. Over the years they have become such a well-known brand in the metal world and they have proven they aren’t going anywhere.

In 2014 after they emerged, they released their third studio LP Reincarnate which jumped up to #9 on the Billboard Top 200 when it debuted.
When they had originally formed in 2005, Chris Cerulli (vocals), Angelo Parente (drums), Mike Costanza (guitar), and Frank Polumbo (bass) were still in high school, they become a quintet after the addition of keyboard player Josh Balz in 2007, the same year the band would release their debut EP, The Whorror, on Masquerade. In the years following that release, Polumbo and Costanza parted ways with Motionless in White, with Ryan Sitkowski and Ricky Olson coming on board to fill in the gaps, allowing the band to forge ahead after the release of their second EP, When Love Met Destruction, on Tragic Hero in 2009. The group signed to Fearless Records in 2010, and their first full-length album, Creatures, arrived that year, followed by their sophomore effort, Infamous, in 2012. A third album, Reincarnate, arrived in the summer of 2014. In June 2016, the band announced their signing to Roadrunner Records. They released the single "570" the same day.
At the beginning of 2017, Balz announced his departure from the band. His synth duties were taken over by Marie Christine-Allard for the recording of the band's fourth set, Graveyard Shift. Issued in May 2017, the album featured the singles "Rats" and "Loud (Fuck It)," as well as an appearance by Korn's Jonathan Davis. The group headed back into the studio the following year, returning in 2019 with their fifth studio long-player Disguise.
The band state:
“It was an honor to have such long time fans/friends alongside us. Another special shoutout to our fantastic crew, Bryce Hall, David Bradberry, Lia Nyles and Robert Fernandez.”
