Motionless In White vocalist Chris Cerulli says his ambition is to one day headline Download.
The band will play at the UK festival in June this year – and Cerulli says he has big plans for the future.
He tells the new issue of Metal Hammer: “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.”
Motionless In White will release their fourth album Graveyard Shift on May 5 via Roadrunner Records and Cerulli says their long-term plan is to keep going – for at least another 10 years.
He explains: “On our home Warped tour show that we played in northeast Pennsylvania, I stated that we’re going to be a band for another 10 years.
“It wasn’t that we hope to be – it was, ‘We’re gonna celebrate our 20th anniversary in 10 years from now.’ That’s the bold statement I made for myself, and I’m going to accomplish that goal.”
The full interview with Motionless In White can be found in the brand new issue of Metal Hammer magazine, which is on sale now.
Iron Maiden are the cover stars, while While She Sleeps, Royal Thunder, Ghost Bath and Life Of Agony also feature.
