Reincarnate is the third studio album by American metalcore band Motionless in White, it was released on September 15, 2014 in the UK and a day later worldwide. Reincarnate is the last Motionless in White album to be released on Fearless Records.
On January 23, 2014 the band announced a short headlining tour in March with The Plot in You, Like Moths to Flames, For the Fallen Dreams, and The Defiled with For Today appearing in San Antonio. Following the tour the band entered the studio to work on their follow-up to their 2012 album, Infamous.
On April 23, 2014, the band's third studio album, Reincarnate was announced through social media, with an intended release date of September 16, 2014 worldwide but would be released a day earlier in the UK only. The band stated that they would remain a quintet and work with touring and session drummers. On June 11, Fearless Records released a video featuring the album's artwork and contained a teaser for the first single of the album, Reincarnate, which was to be released on July 1, but was instead released on July 8. Puppets 3 (The Grand Finale) was released on iTunes on Tuesday August 5.
In an interview with Rocksound magazine, Chris Motionless expressed that recording the third album was much easier compared to Infamous as "...the timeframe worked against me, and there was an inner conflict going on, trying to move into a different style of music and making a lot of mistakes as I went." He stated that the album's sound will contain the aggressiveness Creatures had which Infamous lacked in and will also have a more consistent style. Despite the departure of drummer Brandon Richter, the band stated that they remain as a quintet and will be working with touring and session drummers.
The album artwork was revealed in the teaser video released on June 11. It was created by Chad Michael Ward and features model Harper Leigh.
