Chris Motionless

**Chris Motionless** (real name Christopher Thomas Cerulli) is the charismatic frontman and founder of the Pennsylvania-based metalcore band Motionless in White. Born on June 17, 1986, in Scranton, he formed the band in 2005, blending gothic aesthetics, horror-inspired themes, and crushing riffs into their signature sound. Known for his theatrical stage presence and versatile vocals—swinging between melodic cleans and guttural screams—Chris has led MIW through albums like *Creatures* (2010) and *Scoring the End of the World* (2022), earning a dedicated fanbase dubbed the “Motionless Cult.”

Outside MIW, Chris collaborates on tracks like **“Digital Bullets”** (with Nita Strauss) and lends his voice to projects like **“HALLUCINATIONS”** (XO Armor) and **“Witness The End”**, showcasing his range in the heavier corners of rock and metal. Motionless in White’s evolution from Myspace-era scenecore to mainstream festival staples (hello, *Another Life* and *Cyberhex*) proves Chris’ knack for balancing darkness with hook-driven anthems. Bonus trivia: He’s a horror buff, and yes, that’s his natural hair color. 🖤
