In writing and recording the new single, the band added a political edge to their raw, visceral brand of metallic post-hardcore.
The band state:
“Your Cross is An Act of War is a hate-hate-fueled letter to anyone who uses faux-patriotism, in the form of flag-bearing, to push their racist views on the British public.”
Motions have were selected for 3 official editorial playlists on Spotify: ‘Metal UK’, ‘Walk Like A Badass’ and ‘The Pit’ aswell as recently performing alongside Skindred on their sold-out tour, plus previous performances with CASKETS, Graphic Nature, Thrown, Heriot and Trash Boat.
Novacaine Rating: 10/10
We’ve covered Motions a few times here at Novacaine, and every new release continues to push our expectations further. Each time, the band delivers something that hits harder than the last.
“Your Cross Is an Act of War” stands as a defiant, unflinching statement against racism. Released at a time when political and social divisions in the UK are especially pronounced, the track channels that tension into something raw and uncompromising.
Motions respond in the way they do best, through a tightly constructed, heavy-hitting soundscape that carries a clear and urgent message. It’s intense, purposeful, and impossible to ignore.
