Band History
In 2005, singer Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth met through some common friends. After becoming acquainted they found there was much in common between the two and began writing songs. Soon thereafter they enlisted the help of Los Angeles drummer Jeff Fabb. The band was first called Dying Star. By mid-2005, the lineup included Brink, Howorth, Fabb, guitarist Blake Bunzell, and bassist Josh Newell. The band recorded demos, and they generated a large internet following. During the summer of 2005, Newell departed from the band to focus on his other project, Ketaset, as well as his sound engineering work. A close friend of the band named Pascual Romero (of Tinhorn) took over bass duties for a short time before Jesse Landry was given the position, and the band found its permanent lineup. By the end of the year, In This Moment had generated such a large following due to diligent internet marketing and "do-it-yourself" touring, they sparked an interest from Century Media Records. A worldwide record deal followed. Jesse Landry departed from the band because he wanted to live his true dreams. Fly Planes. Kyle Konkiel Replaced him.
In May 2011, In This Moment posted on Facebook that they are working on new material for a new album hoping for a 2012 release. This new release was recorded without founding members Jeff Fabb and Blake Bunzel, who are both working with James Durbin as of September, 2011. Blood will be the first album since the band have parted ways with longtime manager, Blasko. Blood was revealed to be the album's title on April 6, 2012. On May 14, 2012, it was announced that the album will be released on August 14, 2012. "Blood" was released as the album's first single on June 12, 2012. The album artwork and track listing for Blood were released on June 18, 2012. New members include Travis Johnson on Bass, Randy Weitzel on Rhythm Guitar and Tom Hane on Drums.
In This Moment announced on February 5, 2014 that they had left their Century Media Records label that had produced their previous four studio albums and signed a new deal with Atlantic Records. They also said that they are set to enter the studio on February 23 to record their fifth studio album and follow up their break out album "Blood," released in 2012. Chris Howorth says, “We have a bunch of ideas and the way we did ‘Blood’ was different than we’d done any album before. We brought ideas and pieces and parts into the studio and wrote each song in the studio, one at a time. All the other albums we had the songs formatted and together already. So we’re going to do the same thing again. We’re gonna try to replicate the magic of ‘Blood’ and try to take the style and sound we had for ‘Blood’ and just do it bigger and better while still keeping true to that same vibe. That’s our sound. We feel like we found something and want to stick the flag in the ground on top of that hill.
On the 18th of November 2014, In This Moment released Black Widow, debuting at number 8, their highest position in the charts to date. Their sixth album, Ritual, was released in the summer of 2017. Their seventh studio album, Mother was released on March 27, 2020.

In This Moment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Once upon a time
There was a nasty, little piggy filled with pride and greed
Once upon a time
There was an evil, little piggy typical disease
You see this little pig is slowly becoming my own worst enemy
You see this evil pig she's a blood, blood, blood sucking part of me
Everywhere I go, you go along with me (she said)
Everything you get, is all because of me (I said)
Everything I do, you do along with me (she said)
No matter where you run, you cannot hide from me
She's got a hold on me
Maybe she is just what they want me to be
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I've been everywhere that you've been
Now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I'm already under your skin
'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin
You see I am the wolf
And this dirty, little piggy lives inside of me
You see every now and then
I forget which one that I want and which one that I need
I have come to realize
That both of them have become a necessity
I now have come to realize
That I become which animal I choose to feed
Anything I say you lie along with me (she said)
Every song you sing is all because of me (I said)
Anytime I cry you always laugh at me (she said)
No matter what you do you will belong to me
She's got a hold on me
Maybes she's just what they want me to be
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I've been everywhere that you've been
Now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig
I'm already under your skin
'Cause I'm the big bad wolf, now let the games begin
Oh man, all these voices
I just can't get the fuck out of my head
I can't, I can't, I can't
Even with these chains, you can't stop me
Even with these chains, you can't stop me
Even with these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you won't break me
Even in these chains, you won't stop me
Even in these chains, you won't break me
Even in these chains, you won't take me
Even in these chains, you won't haunt me
Pig, pig
Pig, pig
Stay the fuck, stay the fuck, stay the fuck out of my head
She's got a hold on me
Maybe she is just what they want me to be
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Even in these chains, you can't stop me
Pig, pig
Would you let me in?
Pig, pig

Now I've got nothing to lose and everything to win

The lyrics of "Big Bad Wolf" by In This Moment offer a metaphorical take on the human psyche. The song references the well-known tale of the Three Little Pigs, but with a twist. The singer identifies herself as the titular big bad wolf, and the pigs are her inner demons. At times, these demons threaten to overtake her, but she claims that even in the chains of her own mind, she is unstoppable.
The lyrics speak to the constant battle between good and evil that exists within all of us. The "evil little piggy" is described as a disease, and the singer admits that she has become her own worst enemy. She recognizes that both her good and bad sides are necessary and that feeding one animal over the other will determine who she becomes. The repetition of the line, "even in these chains, you can't stop me," underscores the singer's determination to control her own fate, regardless of the obstacles she faces.
Overall, "Big Bad Wolf" is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and acceptance. It acknowledges the struggles we all face in reconciling our light and dark sides while recognizing that ultimately, we are in control of our own destiny.
