Motionless in White have issued a 10th anniversary re-release of Reincarnate on vinyl, but one re-recording of the title track has received some pushback from fans. Singer Chris Motionless has addressed some of the criticism in a new social media post.
Included in the vinyl reissue are new mixes of the singles “Reincarnate” and “Contemptress,” but a new “Reincarnate” mix titled “Reincarnate: Reincarnated” has fans upset over a one word change. The new version features the removal of the word “bitch” from the line “Bitch you give a fucking aspirin a headache.“
As fans began to notice the omission and comment about it online, singer Chris Motionless offered a response, as well as a “make good” offer.

“LOL I didn’t censor the bitch part. I think the whole line is cringe and out of place with the song, but the bitch in there made it even worse to me and I couldn’t stand to do it again,” said the singer, before offering. “Didn’t realize it was a big line for fans. I’ll put an extra one in on the next record. Deal.”
