Motionless In White have released an audio stream of their new track Rats.

The song features on the band’s new album Graveyard Shift which will launch on May 5 via Roadrunner Records. It’s the follow-up to 2014’s Reincarnate.

Speaking with Metal Hammer last month, frontman Chris Cerulli revealed he had longterm plans for Motionless In White – and hoped to one day headline the Download festival.

He said: “If the band ended today, there’s still clearly these things we want to accomplish.

“This year we’re doing the Main Stage at Download, and that’s such a huge moment for us. The ambition is to be headliners in a couple of years.”

The cover art for Graveyard Shift, which can be seen below, was selected from more than 2000 competition entries in partnership with Creative Allies, with Crystal Johnson’s design coming top.

Motionless In White are currently on the road across North America and will return to Europe in June in support of Graveyard Shift, which can now be pre-ordered.
