Motionless In White made their debut with the EP The Whorror in 2007, and soon rose to prominence in the metalcore scene with the release of their debut album, Creatures (2010).

In 2014, Motionless In White released Reincarnate, which became one of the band's most acclaimed albums to date. With songs like "Reincarnate" and "Dark Passenger", the album presented a more mature approach, maintaining the heavy and dark sound, but with a more polished production and a grander atmosphere.
