Horror-metal titans Motionless In White have officially broken their silence, dropping a cinematic new single and video, "Afraid of the Dark." The track—a masterclass in the band’s signature blend of soaring gothic melodies and crushing hard rock—serves as the first taste of their upcoming studio album and sets the stage for a massive year on the road.
While the band has just unveiled the Sweat and Blood Tour for North America this summer, all eyes are now turning toward the United Kingdom. Following their last sold-out run across the British Isles, industry sources and fan anticipation suggest that a UK headline leg is imminent for late 2026, buy tickets below.
Historically, Motionless In White has treated the UK as a second home, frequently selling out venues like London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town and Manchester’s O2 Academy. With the band confirming they are "shooting for the moon" to celebrate their return to headlining, UK fans can expect a high-production spectacle featuring the live debut of their new material.
The band expressed their excitement for the upcoming cycle, stating: "We could not be more excited to visit our fans who have been incredibly patient with us. We can't wait to give them the first performances of the new album."
The North American run features a heavy-hitting support package including Lorna Shore, Fit For A King, and Static Dress. UK supporters are hopeful that a similarly elite lineup will accompany them across the Atlantic.
Tickets for the US leg go on general sale Friday, February 6, at 10 am local time. While official UK dates have yet to be added to the calendar, the launch of "Afraid of the Dark" marks the beginning of a global campaign that will undoubtedly see the band crossing the pond to reclaim their throne in the UK metal scene.
