Video/Editing/Interview: Nick Major

[@LAsmith9212]

Chris has REALLY nice eyes. I like the shape and his eye color.

[@daniellemarineau9992]

Me too!🖤

[@chloe6393]

CHRIS LOOKS SO PRETTY OH MY GOSH

[@emilygrabowski6404]

he's prettier than I am

[@MindfreakCoD]

I dont know why Infamous got so much hate .. It was a perfect record, there was not a bad song lol

[@ErikeSama]

I really dont know

[@MindfreakCoD]

+aden kunz idk why you hatin, every song was powerful there

[@heatherheotis1759]

I completely agree with this I think it was their best one so far honestly they keep improving with each album they put out in my opinion anyways I mean I love all their albums but they kept getting better with each one

[@waleedbinalim]

+s0mnum Sick from the Melt was the best track

[@viciousoz4188]

Fatal. Was the best track. Even though it was a bonus song

[@chrismorgue6743]

probably the day Chris realized he was allergic to the eyelash glue.

[@nef_]

Who cares if they wear makeup, their music is amazing and the amount of work they put into it and the love they show to their fans is incredible. I'll always support MIW. But on another note, I really hope they make more songs like Carry The Torch.

[@ShadowTheBroken]

+Neff Salas Yessss

[@KrystenMotionless]

brb crying bc perfection.

[@Alannis]

sorry totally off topic but: chris is either high or those eyelashes were difficult to put on. and if those are natural DAM. not fair he's got the eyebrows ♡

[@altpress]

+Alannis To our knowledge, Chris is straight edge. His eyes are just irritated. :] Heavy makeup will do that. #TheGothStruggle

[@Alannis]

+Alternative Press that makes sense 😂

[@londonisvile]

+Alannis Yea he's straight edge. :)

[@Janine.Najarian]

+Alannis Mascara is a bitch lol

[@Alannis]

+Janine Louvel ehhh that don't look like mascara

[@eatpancakes4486]

Infamous was amazing. Idk why people bitched about it

[@ivyolson887]

Right I love that one

[@betrayermoon]

+Dylan i feel like he was talking about reincarnate, i say that because its the commercial generic piece of shit that made me stop caring about them

[@ixPeekABooBix]

+Jono Knight he's talking about Infamous because it wasn't a stellar album. Wasn't that heavy, had some weird electronics, and overall didn't sound as good as the other albums. Reincarnate, although more generic sounding, its a better sound for them, the songs flowed better, and had enough of a different sound from "generic" to make it decent. It is generic sounding and I hated it at first but it grows on you

[@betrayermoon]

oh okay makes more sense when ya put it that way, ive tried my hardest to enjoy it aye i just cant, like new bmth and parkway and born of osiris, they are all becoming stale, i like a few off each album but with motionless i didnt like any of the ones i heard on reincarnate and still dont after trying to get into it, but maybe its because ive metalcore just doesnt satisfy my itch for creative audio anymore

[@CollideWithTheSkyy]

+v Blaqk Infamous was a stellar album, and sound easily as good, and even better than their past two albums. It wasn't as heavy and had electronics in it because they were trying to break away from the metalcore genre and go more in an Industrial metal combined with some elements of metalcore, direction, sadly though, they just went back to the more metalcore sound on reincarnate because of how much backlash they got for infamous. If you don't like Industrial, than that's why you think Infamous wasn't very good. But in reality, Infamous is probably their best sounding album, and the most original sounding one they've made as well.

[@adrj2896]

They are such a wonderful group of people. I met them in November and Chris was such a sweetheart. Poor baby seems worn out though 😔

[@Kayla-ke1lr]

im so excited i cant wait

[@Kayla-ke1lr]

Hello

[@FrostieDemon]

The Phandom is actually here

[@mariafrasier2825]

+I løve Andy Biersack (ladders) love your profile picture

[@mariafrasier2825]

+Llama Kisses your profile picture is awesome too!

[@Kayla-ke1lr]

+Alx Armstrong thanks i like yours

[@itsproxy6]

I'm sooooooo excited for the new album!!!!

[@Darkstar_8473]

Got to love a man who stays in character 24/7

[@kilynev]

I've never been able to find music as good as these guys make.

[@findmeiminthedark5029]

I know Chris wasn't feeling well in this interview, but usually he smiles and grins a lot. So much, despite having a slim face, he developed dimples xD This interview acts as a close up of Chris near the whole time, he has no indicator of dimples, until he smiles at 4:58. I think they're cute, and dimples are a sign of a carefree, lucky person ;)

[@shayneincinerate1267]

Every album they have ever made is such a masterpiece. Infamous is my favourite album because Black Damask really gets me good.

[@michellegutierrez2888]

I love motionless in white so much. Chris and the band are so caring for their music to do their best. its so amazing

[@emileighrose1604]

If those are Chris's real lashes holy damn Im jealous. Or even more so because Im already jealous of his brows. But on topic I'm so excited what these masterminds have in store. I am so eager to hear Ryan's writing.

[@kymott9178]

Tbh I was thinking about his eyelashes most of the video

[@emileighrose1604]

+Kiley Mott good to know its not just me

[@corinnewalker5934]

No those are not his real lashes. Falsies are your friends 👍🏻

[@emileighrose1604]

+Corinne Walker I thought they were false. I can never put on falsies though

[@Chrisboxify]

Damn this was a great interview, good job sodapoppin!

[@crisssweatshirt4840]

70% of the comments are about Chris' eyelashes

[@Fatal_Envy]

Cannot wait to hear new music from these guys, especially that Ryan is going to have a lot more input into the band :)

[@slasher2297]

I'm so excited for the next album! The interview is great it's so cool that it's from the night of the show I saw too!!

[@jackiesanford8123]

can't wait for the next Album 💜

[@gavinoodonohue7966]

I can't wait for the new album, only been listening to them for a month and they rock

[@DanielaRodriguez-ur6eb]

omg yay can't wait to hear the new album ahhhhhh

[@marienilsen2812]

+Daniela Rodriguez I see you everywhere XD

[@DanielaRodriguez-ur6eb]

Omg hey

[@marienilsen2812]

Daniela Rodriguez Yeaaa Hii CX

[@DanielaRodriguez-ur6eb]

Omg I miss u how are u

[@DanielaRodriguez-ur6eb]

Hey

[@elizabethcrass7003]

I always feel kinda shifty when people mention not liking an album (or albums) from a band or disliking their newer/older stuff because I've never felt that way. I really don't know why. I either love all their stuff regardless of what genre or sub-genere it falls in or I don't like any of it. I guess it's because I don't look at the label slapped onto it trying to say it's this genre or that genre and just focus on what I think of it. I've loved everything they've released from The Whorror all the way to Reincarnate, and if that makes me the odd one out then so be it. MIW are such a great band that I can't find a song/album I don't like that they've released. I can't wait to see what they come up with next for their new album. Keep up the good work, guys. :)

[@angelique1112]

+Taylor Elizabeth (FranklyTaylor) You are the perfect fan😄. Well, people have simply different music tastes, that's all. And sometimes they want to stick to a certain genre because it's their fave. They feel secure when they can identify a band with a certain genre/sub-genre, because it feels like - simply identification. 🐶 Probably they wish that the way how they fell in love with a band goes on to forever... Btw, I'm really not into cataloguing bands into specific genres - so for that point we have the same opinion😉. I think that's, errrrr, sth. I don't really find necessary..., because 1. categories are defined by people and that always ends as a war of opinions and 2. it provoques overhasty reputations and it can facilitate, as people are already like this, narrow-mindedness.

[@ravenraz0rblade]

+Taylor Elizabeth (FranklyTaylor) I, too, have never disliked any of their music...I love EVERY single album and song that they have released, Motionless In White is my favorite band and has been for quite some time now, The lyrics always blow me away and the music itself is simply epic, so I am very VERY excited to see what these talented group of guys has in store for us fans (:

[@mishyee]

I'm so glad Ryan is getting to work on this album more!

[@angelique1112]

+Michelle Morgue me, too^^

[@ravenraz0rblade]

Ahhhhh... Creatures will always be my favorite by these guys, I do love every album by Motionless In White, but the sound of creatures had me drawn to it haha...MIW is and will always be my favorite band, so I am very excited to see what is coming from them! They are talented, and just ugh, I CANT WAIT! Reincarnate came out on my birthday, that was completely irrelevant, but in my honest opinion I thought each album was amazing, even if others dont think so!

[@friendly-days6138]

Poor Chris looks stressed I hope he is ok

[@emorylowe1999]

he looks like he was crying. he doesn't seem happy:(

[@Itzdavie]

+emory lowe nah, he's probably tired asf.. or the eye makeup and the eye lashes

[@sarahcorbell9841]

That was my first thought as soon as I saw him. Super excited for the new album regardless.

[@ximelinas.3129]

True af.

[@emorylowe1999]

I hope he's okay. I love him so much

[@hollyloughner2807]

Yea I hope he's okay I caught on that too!!!

[@anitamarquez1743]

I'm so excited to hear it!! An that's really appreciated that it's more than just Chris so writes the songs, I really appreciate the effort and hours that goes onto your work. I've enjoyed your last albums and am excited for this one.

[@reaper_clouddemon_3338]

Can't wait for the new album :)

[@DBaldwin-vv]

great interview, amazing band and can't wait for the new record. love all their records in very different ways.

[@celecat2]

nickkkkk

[@princesskatelynrose]

Thank you so much for this interview

[@destinylane6659]

is he wearing false lashes ? if so he looks waaaay better with them then me wearing them

[@briemackenzie7906]

yes he is 💕

[@destinylane6659]

Brie Horror that's sad he looks better then me

[@yerrterbch8573]

dont be stupid its how he shaved them its real

[@Nightsky6823]

+Yerr Terbch um, what? I think you're talking about his eyebrows, not the eyelashes which is what was being discussed.

[@notyourabg]

Out of all the new albums that have come out lately in my pool of bands, I'm definitely the most excited for the new MIW album ^*^ cheers to the band, you guys are fantastic!

[@blackbeauty4723]

omg chris looks like he's about to cry i just want to give him a hug because he looks so sad

[@kasimeritak119]

I was reading this article the other day about music and it gave you the personality according to the music you listen to and it said that people who listen to heavy or metal music were shy, insecure and not hardworking and here is an example of someone who likes metal or heavy music and it's working 24/7 for an album that they want to give to their fans. I hate stereotypes

[@xxbringanaleathehorizonxx4265]

ugh I love Chris so much

[@mona123chicken3]

i cant wait for the next album!!!

[@andrewbeaudin8891]

All my favorite bands are coming out with new albums this year. I have so much to look forward to. im so excited :3

[@angelique1112]

+Andrew Beaudin same^^

[@caseysmith64]

They're such a great Band and I believe that their next record will be just as awesome as the rest :) Cant wait for the new one. Love u guys xx

[@abbythereaper499]

I'm so pumped!!

[@darksolaceofficial6751]

So excited!

[@toetotipthatsabart5048]

I just found out Chris was straight edge which is super cool! I'm straight edge too and it's cool that one of my idols are the same. So excited for the next album!

[@angelique1112]

+Emo Dan Howell yes, indeed!!^^

[@xXxAmber91xXx]

I'm so fucking excited for this. I saw them on their beyond the barrier tour, and I hope they do that again for this one!!!

[@sammybena2012]

Aaaaaah im so excited for it!!!!!

[@karelynautumnruss8006]

he looks ssssoooo tired he was not kidding when he said workaholic.

[@ZZZ33PYLILY]

Chris is a beautiful soul

[@randylongstreet7743]

im so happy these guys got as big as they did. didnt really like Infamous but his style throughout it was awesome. i still love and support these guys and cant wait for the new album.

[@reebee7472]

So stoked, though I'm kinda sad it'll probably lack the sound of Inafmous, since he said it'll be closer to Reincarnate. Infamous is my favourite MIW album, and I loved the unique sound. Of course they could always have something similar to it, but just with the additional sounds of Reincarnate's level of heaviness. I hope some songs will on the new album. Now I totally 100% miss Creatues, but that was fetus phase; can't go back. xD

[@angelique1112]

+Ree Bee same 😢

[@ravenraz0rblade]

+Ree Bee I loveddddd Creatures, and I know for a fact it will always be my favorite (:

[@rubxnshady3781]

I can't wait man

[@cyberhex666]

I'm so excited omg

[@rachelnorman6072]

so excited for this album...

[@undeadsphinxx]

Super pumped for the new album

[@mariafrasier2825]

CANT WAIT!!!

[@andyeatsplanes4690]

I CANT FREAKING WAIT !!!!!!

[@Joshmarmolejo_]

Nick Major goes to my college. I always see him around.

[@mamfalynn2663]

I've loved every album Motionless In White has released so far, and I can't wait for the new album. I'm sure it will be amazing. :D

[@lydialamy2035]

cant wait!!!♥

[@DanielaRodriguez-ur6eb]

omg can't wait to hear there new record from my babies

[@stephaniesblue7870]

Can't wait for the next album!! 😊😝

[@Bellaripper666]

I am so excited about the next new album. I am sure that will be Fuckin Rad like the other albums it cannot be otherwise anyway because Everytime they made a new album or something new It's always awesome more than other things they have done before. They amaze me all the time. They are on the top of the top and I am so proud of these boys More than ever. Long life to Motionless In White and I love you Chris Cerulli!

[@EpicMineCart8]

One of the reasons I love this band is the Diverse sounds within an album, I hope they don't settle on just one sound…

[@angelique1112]

I understand that those fan girl comments annoy some people, but don't you see that they are positive? They are positive in their own way. They express pure admiration. What I don't understand is that there is that discrepance between loving an artist for his look and loving him for his music!! 😣 Why can't it just be okay to love both?! I definitely belong to those stupid fan girls because I'm like this 😍😍 all the time. I'm not gonna be ashamed to admit that I love his look. Yeah, I do, he's SO beautiful - and I'm gonna make a video where I'll be just talking about him 🐷💬🎊. And you know what? That is an incredible feeling. You are just HAPPY. I am floating in my weightless dream world🌟. As I love MiW's music, I unfortunately cannot put myself in the position of people who only focus on Chris's look and not on the music at all. How does that feel like? 😮 I don't know. For me, music and appearance can pretty much interact!🎶🔄👻 I am a big fan of the visual components, the theatrics, the show. Chris talked about the "whole package" in interviews... For me, that interaction is the highest realisation of pleasure. 😄

[@yarah.h1552]

I can't wait 😝😝💙

[@ploopydiper]

This was posted on my birthday 😄

[@BlackGothicFairyxx]

I can't wait for the new album!

[@Senpai-cw2cg]

giveee mee thatt neww album jesusss😍😍😍

[@cloudlady]

Can't wait😊

[@adrj2896]

I love how he says Alex cause it's my name 😌

[@Natalia-yr3dl]

i cant wait for the new album 2016 !!!!!

[@iliannagonzalez5178]

love you guys

[@DarkendSoulxXx]

2016 will be the year of metalcore!

[@leahcamponion944]

he sounds excited, but really tired, then again, it is like he said, they got a lot of cool stuff planned for the album since he just came from a meeting before doing this interview, so you can imagine he is mentally drained at the moment of this interview.... still i cannot wait for the album!!! wooh!!

[@gavinmccabe2176]

I hope he means songs like Break The Cycle and Reincarnate when he speaks of it holding that reincarnate sound, would love to hear more tracks like the heavy side of Infamous(puppets 2, Black Damask) and of course Creatures esque songs. All in all cant fucking wait.

[@thepolishprince851]

take us back to creatures, wish they still sounded like they did on that album, always gonna love that one

[@lilyshores]

I loved the last record,so i can't wait for the next recorrd

[@danielarodriguez-mr9mn]

im so excited yay for there album oh my god ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love u miw

[@crystallambert9052]

I smiled a little bit when chris said, "what's a break? " That was funny. Anyways, I love you guys and I'm really looking forward to the new tracks, because reincarnate is kickass and I love it. Xoxo!

[@crisssweatshirt4840]

Chris!!!!!!

[@awakenedgraphics4023]

Creatures was 👌🏻

[@nothing_left.]

Omfg I can't wait

[@lorenajaimes1374]

Nick!!!!❤

[@megan1a7xfannovak42]

so stoked for this record!!!!💀

[@motionlessmurderdollfrompl1627]

No matter how hard he works. He will always be a legend in my eyes 👿

[@ismfofisawesome3]

i hope their new album has a rerecorded version of Santa's Pissed

[@austinmullins1311]

I love creatures infamous had like 3 good songs and reincarnate had also about 3 good songs I wish they mixed heaviness of creatures with a dash of reincarnate

[@naruto199797]

alright alot of people don't seem to know the reason why infamous had a Manson feel to it its because the guy who produced and help write the album was the replacement for twiggy Ramirez in the Marilyn Manson band he became the main writer along with Manson so yea that's where it came from

[@bonnieralph5151]

Man you can see the stress in that mans eyes, their music is so fukin good, but I can tell he is were all the weight lies, but he does not falter, comes out swinging every time, what a LION.

[@maltenburg00]

Can't wait for label release

[@trucksandheavymetal]

I would love to hear Creatures style music with Infamous style lyrics. No matter what though this new album is gonna be sick because MIW is awesome as fuck.

[@k0rn0ndac0b]

+ChadWorthingham sameeee

[@ravenraz0rblade]

+ChadWorthingham YES! Creatures is my all time favorite album and I would love to hear an album like that again (: I also really enjoyed infamous, so that would be a great album if both were kind of combined. But then again I am sure anything by MIW would be lovely!

[@trucksandheavymetal]

RavenPhantomhive Just image if the song "Immaculate Misconception" and "Devil's Night" fucked and had a baby. That song would be sooooo sick.

[@ravenraz0rblade]

+ChadWorthingham Dudeeee! That would be genius (:

[@tannersmall6300]

I'm like one of the only MIW fans that DIDNT like Creatures or anything before. I really love the more electronic industrial sound. Plus Burned At Both Ends is amazing!!!

[@foreverdark227]

Im super ready for this album. Unlike most people I loved infamous.

[@angelique1112]

+Forever Dark224 Actually I've seen several people liking Infamous.

[@foreverdark227]

+Angel Angelique I don't know many people who like my style of music. But that album is what got into Motionless. Also what label are they on now if you know?

[@Justannano]

😍😍😍🕸🕸🕸🕷🕷🕷 I can't wait!!!!!!!

[@MoriahxGrace]

YES

[@toukakirishima9859]

I'm screaming an dying at the same time 😱😱

[@maggiescanlan9859]

the day I can buy it, or even preorder I will

[@ljdeyampert6946]

This interview is such a tease.

[@brabiz67]

I really hope it has a consistent sound...

[@mikeryan8644]

Its going to be amazing
