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 ↴
It's time for you, let the show begin
You're so pretty, dripping sin
(You feelin' it? You feelin' it?)
Your eyes are screaming, I take the stage
A fatal dance, a primal rage
You pray for me, unlock the cage
(You feelin' it? You feelin' it?)
I think you ready, you want a show?
You wanna hear me? Good to go
(Kill, eat the male, kill, eat the male)
(Kill, eat the male, kill, eat the male)
I think you ready, you want a show?
You wanna hear me? Good to go
Love me 'til you're dead, I will not forget
You'll still love me dead or alive
(Dead or alive, dead or alive)
Love me 'til you're dead, this is what you get
You'll still love me, dead or alive
(Dead or alive, dead or alive)
(I-I- you feelin' it?)
So here we are, make your move
We're going mad, I'll help our groove
You want control, I disapprove
(I-I- you feelin' it? You feelin' it?)
So watch me close, as I unveil
I'm stripping down, your face is pale
You are the heart, I am the nail
(I-I- you feellin' it? You feelin' it?)
I think you ready, you want a show?
You wanna hear me? Good to go
(Kills with poison, kills with poison)
(Kills with poison, kills with poison)
I think you ready, you want a show?
You wanna hear me? Good to go
Love me 'til you're dead, you will not forget
You'll still love me dead or alive
(Dead or alive, dead or alive)
Love me 'til you're dead, this is what you get
You'll still love me, dead or alive

IMO this is the best album ITM has produced yet, Maria's vocal's and the music is so diverse that there is literally something on this album that amost everyone out there will like.
1-The Infection: Not much to say here, it's an intro.
2-Sex Metal Barbie: Great song, for some reason it reminds me of Lacuna Coils Heavens a Lie with rap verses. 4 out of 5 stars.
3-Big Bad Wolf: This is ITM and Maria Brink at her best. 5 out of 5 stars.
4-Dirty Pretty: This one is simple, think female Marilyn Manson. IMO this is the best song on the album. 5 out of 5 stars.
5-Black Widow: This one reminds me of White Zombie/Rob Zombie right from the start. While this song is good, it might be on that some will skip. 3 out of 5 stars.
6-Sexual Hallucination: This one is not so hard, but...both musical and vocal complexity make it a good listen. I am not sure who the background vocals are on this song but they are very good, Maria of course is awesome. 4 out of 5 stars.
7-Sick Like Me: This on IMO is another ITM masterpiece, good hard beats, Maria doesn't really growl much in this one but when she does it has an impact. 5 out of 5 stars.
8-Bloody Creature Poster Girl: This is yet another one when you hear it you know it is ITM even if you never heard it before. Maria does a little bit of growling in this one but I think even people who listened to the hair bands in the 80's would probably like this one. This is not one of my favorites but I still give it 3 out of 5 stars.
-- PS I do like the vocal range that Maria uses in this song!
9--The Fighter: Emotionally I want to give this song 5 stars. Unfortunately the mixing on this particular song is messed up, you don't have the heavy bass that you have in other songs on the album. Still a very good song and I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
10-Bones: I can't place it but the chorus sounds very familiar, I wanna say Hollywood Undead but haven't so far found that song that this reminds me of. Either way it is still a decent song. 3 of 5 stars.
11-Natural Born Sinner: This one will please the faithful ITM followers, in this one Maria does a fair amount of growling. However, the song is just lacking something. I can't quite place it but so far this is my least favorite song on the album. 2 out of 5 stars.
12-Into the Darkness: This is an intro into Out of Hell.
13-Out of Hell: IMO this song is meaningless. To be honest I haven't really followed the lyrics to it yet but there really isn't anything catchy about the song. 2 out of 5 stars.
As you can see I rate most of the songs on this album quite high. I think that ITM has grown and evolved to be this generations Metallica. There really isn't 1 song on this album that I could not put on my playlist and not listen to over and over again.
Maria Brink: Best Female Vocalist in Rock!
Pay it Forwar!

I think about you Significance
Attention is better earned than given
Helpful quality entertainment my reason for liven
A toast to hearts that shared love within the force I'm driven
I find noble people of most importance
Embrace them no need for tolerance
Acceptance my preference
Meaningful culture of high character Expected
Trust with no defenses neglected
Good intentions will not be disrespected
Zombie minds infected
One shower everyday I'm well protected
I adapt quickly to random variations
Keeping my word better manifestations
If I break potential deadly destinations
So many reasons for human life from beginning to end
Only good memories is too much fantasy
You can star to believe lies and become pretend
Only bad memories just might sink you into a plight you can't get out of amend
The balance with bad and good
Discover your self so at least by self you are understood
In most cases before you can repair your vehicle
You or someone has to pop the hood
Do what you know is correct respect like you should
A step at a time
Rhyme after rhyme
Concept to listen to me no crime
May the bells of freedom chime
Study until you know what is necessary
Honest bravery in a world so scary
A fallen soldier needs to be left unharmed if you carry
Consider the potential of unsuspected accidents and how to respond to them
Sometimes we never know until we find out
Progressive Evolution becoming another solution
What life appears to be all about
Become a believer instead of one of doubt
Be the rain that's not responsible for the drought
Don't accept or cause harm
Don't be a coward and falsely sound the alarm
And be honest with your tool of charm
How important is fame or fortune
Once you have how hard is it to continue your upkeep
The threat to us all is a pure 100% creep
When the community needs sleep
Eager predators target innocence to reap
Sewing the fabrics of failure
The spiders web of lies and deceit
Disqualified you lose if you cheat
A hard working society docent deserve to get beat
Fatal risks are taken when everybody docent do their job
We are human not filthy pigs that deserve the label slob
We never have a need to chomp down on a caretaker after he or she has fallen
For a healthy community I'm calling
We might not have much time left for stalling
Into sickness so many keep falling
So many victims with so many fears in tears balling
The significance of the reality of tragedy
Further damage prevention then move forward with a great pace steady
For the impact I hope the world was and is ready Sunday, July 4, 2021, 10:22:03 AM

This woman's' vocals are incredible. The range and her ability to contort her tone is awesome. I can hear a number of other voices when I hear her voice.
