The titans of the Rust Belt are back to reclaim their throne in the shadows. Motionless In White has officially announced the release of their seventh full-length studio album, Decades, set to drop on July 17 via Roadrunner Records. To celebrate the announcement, the band has unleashed a blistering new single titled “Playing God,” featuring a massive guest appearance by Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor.
TL;DR: The Key Takeaways
- The New Album: Decades arrives July 17, 2026, marking a full-circle moment for the band’s 20-year career.
- Corey Taylor Collaboration: The lead single “Playing God” features a “ferocious” vocal turn from Taylor, tackling the toxicity of internet culture.
- Eclectic Guests: The album also features collaborations with Skylar Grey and Anthony Martinez of Dark Divine.
- The Sound: Frontman Chris Motionless describes the record as “heavier than past albums,” fueled by “aggressive energy, anger, and resistance.”
- Summer Tour: Motionless In White hits the road this July for “The Sweat And Blood Tour” with Lorna Shore, Fit For A King, and Static Dress.
“I Can’t Believe How Aggressive Corey Sounds”
The centerpiece of the Decades reveal is the high-octane collaboration with Corey Taylor. Tackling the modern plague of social media division, “Playing God” is an observational commentary on the negativity and lies that dominate the digital landscape.
“I thought social media was supposed to be a mechanism to connect, but all it does is divide,” says Chris Motionless. The track sees the band returning to their most aggressive roots, amplified by Taylor’s unmistakable grit. Recorded between upstate New York and Los Angeles with producers Drew Fulk and Justin “JD” deBlieck, the track—and the album at large—aims to synthesize the band’s past, present, and future into a singular, theatrical entity.

A Darker, Heavier ‘Decades’
For a band that has outlasted two decades of industry shifts and personal obstacles, Decades serves as a testament to their DIY work ethic. Chris Motionless insists that while the universe of the band continues to expand, they will never abandon the heartfelt, emotional, and heavy core that defined them.
“This band has not only lasted two decades, but we’ve also outlasted all of the obstacles we’ve faced,” Chris observes. “Decades is definitely heavier than some of our past albums. Our current world bred more aggressive energy, anger, and resistance.”
