Ricky Horror is currently in the core line up of the successful metal band, ‘Motionless in White’.

The band’s second album titled ‘Infamous’ was released in 2012. The album entered the mainstream charts and Ricky started touring in the United States and Australia. The third album ‘Reincarnate’ was released in 2014 and this, like their previous albums, was immensely successful. The band continued touring and most of their shows were sold out. The band’s latest album ‘Graveyard Shift’ was released in 2017 under the label Roadrunner Records. This was their first album under a major record and it soon got listed in various charts. The album debuted at 27 on the Billboard 200. Ricky Horror is currently on a ‘Graveyard Shift’ tour around the world. He is constantly in touch with his fans and reaches out to them through social media.
