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.

Into The Light
In This Moment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're lying here on the floor
And neither of us can barely breathe at all
The doctor's saying hold on tight
As we say our last goodbye
And this is a moment that changes our whole lives
And I still believe in the good
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight
And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight
I'm staring deep into your eyes
They're telling me the time has come
And I know you're ready to rise and sail home
The room is filling up with light
As we say our last goodnight
I thank you for every second of your life
And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight
And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you
And I'm falling, watching as you're hurting
I'm down here I'm on my knees
How can I survive
Then you turn to me and promise me you're ready
And tell me you'll be waiting on the other side
And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight
And you showed me all the good
And you lead me through the light
And you gave me the sun
It's time to free you tonight
The lyrics to "Into The Light" by In This Moment describe a moment of intense emotion, likely during the last moments of someone's life as they say their final goodbyes. The first verse sets the scene with the image of two people lying on the floor struggling to breathe, while a doctor advises them to hold on tight. The sense of urgency and finality is palpable. The chorus repeats throughout the song and is a testament to the singer's belief in the power of goodness and light to guide them through even the darkest times.
The second verse opens with a powerful image of the singer looking into the eyes of the dying person and recognizing that their time has come. The room fills with light, creating a sense of otherworldliness that pervades the rest of the song. The singer thanks the person for every second of their life, a fitting tribute to someone they clearly love deeply. The chorus repeats again, this time with a slight change as the singer asserts that the person they are saying goodbye to has shown them all the good and given them the sun.
The bridge of the song is particularly emotional, as the singer acknowledges their own pain and despair while watching their loved one suffer. They express their need for that person to be there to help them survive, but then the person in question turns to them and promises to be waiting on the other side. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and a sense of catharsis and release, as if the singer has finally found a way to say goodbye and move forward.
