Motionless In White have released their seventh studio album, Decades, which reviewer Louder describes as the Pennsylvania metalcore band's most accomplished work to date, finally forging a distinct sonic identity after two decades of drawing heavily on influences such as Korn, Slipknot and Rob Zombie. Since forming in 2004, the band's gothic, nu-metal and industrial sound was often seen as an enthusiastic patchwork of other acts' styles; the review argues that Decades marks the point where they have absorbed those influences and made them properly their own, building on progress made with 2022's Scoring The End Of The World.

The review highlights the single Playing God as a key example, noting its Slipknot-esque drum intro is offset by distinctive sinister synths, making it recognisably a Motionless In White track despite the influence. The song is also described as the heaviest the band have ever sounded, boosted by a guest appearance from Slipknot's Corey Taylor, who trades aggressive vocals with frontman Chris Cerulli in a track critiquing social media superficiality, closing with a particularly confrontational mosh-pit call-out.
