Motionless In White are my all time favorite band and if you are interested in getting into the band's music here are some that I recommend to you. If you like my top 10 favorite songs by [insert band name here] let me know. This series can help find songs by bands that may not necessarily be featured in Artist of the Month. 10. AMERICAThis song is insanely catchy with the chanting lyrics will have you banging your head and chanting the infectious tunes. "America" has often been compared to a Golden Age of Grotesque Manson era song so if you like that album you'll definitely enjoy this song. This song also has awesome commentary on the social situation of America which is super true even today in recent events. 9. CobwebsI listened to this song in a time when I really needed it. I was going through a lot of changes in my personal life where I did make choices that would effect my life and reflecting on the past. I think that this song is something that can really help someone who has gone through something like this or knows how it feels to go like this. It's an older Motionless song but it really does also show the growth of where they were and where they are. 8. Contemptress ft. Maria BrinkI really love this song musically and vocally, I think that this song is a really fun and seductive song and this song would not be complete without Maria Brink. This song always stuck out to me off of Reincarnate it always one song that I came back and just enjoyed the story and delivery. This song is really something that is much softer their their other songs so I feel like it would be a good way to start with Motionless's songs. It's overall a really enjoyable listen and I love seeing this song live. 8. HourglassThis is off of their most recent release Graveyard Shift and I absolutely fell in love this song. I knew the exact emotions that vocalist, Chris Motionless, was describing in this song and I feel a lot of people can relate this song. Especially if you are going into the music industry or other form of arts. This song struck a cord with from the start and I really don't how explain how in just a few words. 7. FatalThis song was featured on the deluxe edition of Infamous it was a song that I felt was one of the band's best written songs. It really tells the story of a tragedy and I think that if you really take a chance to look at the lyrics you can really see how tragic this romance is the song. "Fatal" can only truly be described as one word fatal. It's a song that will make feel really connected to the lyrics and the song has the perfect delivery. It's heavy it's dark and it has something for every Motionless In White fan. 6. Everybody Sells CocaineDon't let song titles fool you, this song is not really about selling cocaine! A few years ago Chris Motionless posted on his Tumblr account about how he hated the term "bands saved my life." Basically, how something so innocent turned into something much darker and a call for attention. In "Everybody Sells Cocaine" [Chris] Motionless uses cocaine as a metaphor for a call out for attention on social media. 5. Loud (Fuck It)As a follower of the band you may have heard this was inspired by Chris Motionless's Think TEI class he did last summer on the Vans Warped Tour. As someone who did participate in Motionless's Think TEI class I did feel a connection to the song and did hear some of the things that were mentioned during the class. When I heard this for the first time I knew it was definitely going to be one of my favorites. If you went to the Think TEI class let me know what you thought of this song? 4. Black Damask (The Fog)I think that this song is a such haunting and dark track and one of the best opening tracks Motionless In White did for a an album. This song is an overall heavy songs that will have banging your head and possibly starting a mosh pit in your bedroom. It's one of those songs where you can hear it and instantly know that this is indeed a Motionless In White song. Fun fact, not that you cared: But I know how to play the intro to this song on the keyboard. 3. AbigailIt's a classic actually, I'm sure every Motionless In White fan gets excited when they hear this song start to play at a show. The song is based off of the play the Crucible which details the story of Abigail Williams and how she accused innocent women of being witches during the Salem Witch Trials. But don't worry! You don't need to read the play or watch the movie before listening to the song. The song really tells the story well where you can still follow along with the lyrics. I honestly love it when they play this song live anytime. 2. Death MarchThis song definitely sounds militant upon first listen, but this song definitely will get you hyped while listening to it. It's probably the BEST opening song to a Motionless In White album. It's truly an anthem, it's dark, gritty and really shows how Motionless In White is truly a diverse band when it comes to their style. It's also a truly amazing song to see live as every chants "DEATH! MARCH!" This song is truly an essential to every Motionless In White listen definitely don't sleep on this song. 1. Devil's NightWe finally arrived at number one, "Devil's Night" this song really showcases everything Motionless In White has. It shows how Motionless In White can use electronics and heavy guitar riffs to their advantage. It sets them apart from every other band in the scene. This song is also just amazing to see in a live setting it really gets the crowd hyped and being apart of it is truly amazing. The day they stop playing "Devil's Night" I'll so bummed this song is truly one of Motionless In White's best.
