Watch Motionless In White's New Video For Brand New Numb

Following the recent release of new album Disguise, Motionless In White have dropped a video for one of the record's lead singles, Brand New Numb.

When Kerrang! asked vocalist Chris Motionless about why the band made Brand New Numb a single alongside the title-track back in May, he said: “Well, there was definitely an interesting sequence of phone calls with the label about that! They really wanted to push Brand New Numb, and we think the song is really cool, and it’s kind of a throwback song to our album [2012’s] Infamous, which has a lot of stuff like that on there. What’s cool about it is there’s a little sample at the beginning which is me and my guitarist Ricky [Olson] working on the song in 2012, recording the riff into my phone, and it’s cool that we chose not to put that song on that record and all these years later we can make it even better and get it out there.

“But as much as we like that song, when we look back to what happened when we dropped the track LOUD ahead of Graveyard Shift, we felt we were kind of misrepresenting ourselves with it, because it was the most different-sounding song on the record. We feel that Brand New Numb is also the most different song on this record, and we didn’t want people to have the wrong idea and think Motionless isn’t a heavy or aggressive band anymore. So we thought, ‘Let’s put out both and let people’s first taste of the record be two songs on both sides of the spectrum.’ If I were a fan and a band I love did that I know I’d be stoked!”

If that's not enough for you, the band also recently unveiled a 50-minute documentary on the making of Disguise:
