History Formation and early years (2005–2009)

Motionless in White was founded in 2005 by members Chris Motionless, who played guitar and lead vocals, Angelo Parente on drums, Frank Polumbo on guitar, and Kyle White on bass during high school. They incepted many other titles into the group until finally settling on what would be Motionless in White. Chris Motionless and other members have noted bands such as, , , , , , and other musical groups as their inspiration. In 2005 they released their self-distributed .

Within the year after the release of their demo, new member Josh Balz was added as the band's keyboardist, Frank Polumbo took over on bass and new members, Michael Costanza and , were added to the band as the new guitarists, moving Chris Motionless solely to lead vocals. the band was discovered by Zach Neil while performing at a local night club called the staircase. Zach signed the band first to management and then later to his record label Masquerade recordings. They recorded their first EP The Whorror which was produced by Zach Neil and mixed by Dan Malsch and released it through Masquerade Recordings/Warner music group in 2007 group.

After touring in-support of the The Whorror, Motionless in White had written enough songs to complete a full-length album. The album was named When Love Met Destruction was recorded in 2008 initially at Soundmine recording studio then finished at Zach Neil's home by Dave Cutrone and Zach Neil, and was released the same year on Masquerade Recordings. Zach added the band to his stage on the Warped tour with the new record in hand and the band quickly caught the attention of Shawn Milke from  who offered to manage the band. Shortly thereafter Bob Becker of  contacted Zach Neil to make an offer to buy the band's recording contract and sign the band to Fearless. The band and Zach agreed and Tragic Hero was offered to incubate the first offiicial release to help grow the band leading up to their Fearless debut. The band was never actually signed to tragic hero records.

The band parted ways with guitarist Michael Costanza and brought in current guitarist Ryan Sitkowski as his replacement. Despite being signed to Fearless before the months leading up to the release of the EP form of When Love Met Destruction, it was distributed through Tragic Hero on February 17, 2009. The song "Ghost in the Mirror" was made as the band's first ever single and had a music video produced for it.

Creatures and line-up change (2009–2011)

After the release of When Love Met Destruction, bassist Frank Polumbo departed Motionless in White due to unknown reasons, leaving native,  as their new permanent bass player in October 2009. Months later, Motionless in White entered the studio during May 2010 to record their debut full-length,  with Andrew Wade as the chosen producer. The record's first single, "Abigail", was released premiered on  in August 30 and was the released on  the day after. A music video for the song was released a few months afterwards, along with following music videos over the next 2 years for title track "Creatures", the first track of the record "Immaculate Misconception" and a live music video for "Puppets (The First Snow)" which was filmed during the band's summer on The All Stars Tour in 2011.

Creatures was released on October 12, 2010 through Fearless, and claimed the 175th slot on the Billboard Top 200 charts, and No. 6 on the Heatseekers chart.

On Wednesday May 4, 2011, guitarist  was fired from the band. Reasons for the matter explained from Bell's perspective were that while he was handling bass substitution duties for , he was expected to meet along with the rest of Motionless in White in Orlando, Florida by that tour's end. According to the band, Bell left in the middle of Motionless in White's tour schedule to fill-in as a bassist for Escape the Fate and also did not inform the rest of the members early enough in advance that he would not be available during those weeks. This action forced the band to be without their rhythm guitar parts during their performances. Motionless in White stated "If our live performance didn’t heavily depend on having 2 guitarists then it wouldn’t have been a huge deal to us... but unfortunately having 1 guitar player in a band like ours causes your show to suffer greatly. We agreed to let TJ go" along with an explanation about how they experienced many disagreements with Bell throughout the years of being a band.

After Bell's departure, Olson then switched his position in the band from playing bass to rhythm guitar, which then left the group in-audition, once again, for a new bass player. In the tours Motionless in White performed after Olson's switch to rhythm guitar, a man with an unknown name began playing bass, finally confirmed as being Devin Sola, who now goes by "Ghost", a substitute bassist. Sola was officially confirmed as the band's new bassist on November 27, 2011.
