Motionless in White discography
Encyclopedia
Motionless in White
is a Pennsylvania-based metalcore
band. The discography of the group consists of one full-length album, two EPs
and one demo album
. The group is known to combine the metalcore musical style with goth
influences with their material having a heavier shift with each release. The band recorded their demo
in 2005 as a four-piece band, and released their debut EP, The Whorror
under small independent label, Masquerade Recordings in 2007 when the group achieved a six-member line-up.
The band arguably has released two full-length albums instead of just one by the occurrence that their second EP When Love Met Destruction
originally was recorded with enough tracks deemed to be a full-length, although was never officially released. All of its songs did leak online, however. It is more widely known in its EP form since half the tracks were later re-recorded with their current lead guitarist, Ryan Sitowski and was distributed through larger label Tragic Hero Records
with heightened production in 2009. During the EP recording of When Love Met Destruction, the band signed to Fearless Records
where they released their major label debut, Creatures
in 2010.
