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 Darkness
In This Moment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am beautiful
I hate you
I love you
How can you even love yourself?
I am worthy
You disgust me
I am pure
Please don't go
You'll burn in Hell
I will float to mortality
There is no God
God is inside of me
No wonder your father left you
He should have protected me
Just take a closer look
I will not!
You're a whore!
I forgive you
The lyrics to "Into the Darkness" by In This Moment express a tumultuous and conflicted relationship between two people. The first verse shows the singer contradicting herself as she both repulses the person she is singing to and declares her own beauty. She then goes on to express both love and hate for this person, questioning how they can even love themselves. In the midst of this back and forth, the singer asserts her own worthiness and purity before ultimately letting go of the relationship, urging the other person not to leave but also warning them that they will burn in Hell.
The second verse takes a darker and more personal turn, with each line cutting more deeply than the last. The singer declares that there is no God, but also that God is inside of her, suggesting a conflict between faith and inner strength. She then mentions the other person's father leaving them, and seems to hold them responsible for not protecting her. The final lines, "Just take a closer look / I will not! / You're a whore! / I forgive you" illustrate the complexity of the singer's emotions towards this person - she cannot bring herself to look at them, yet still forgives them despite the hurt they have caused.
Overall, "Into the Darkness" is a raw and emotional song that delves into the complexities of relationships, self-worth, and forgiveness.

@toniskyy837
It's scary knowing that Maria was having a panic attack while recording this but that just made me respect her so much more
@emiliahartman8264
+Toni Skyy Really? That's fucking bold of her...shes' my hero tbh. <3
@musicismylife7718
Toni Skyy how do you know this? I actually thought that the crying sounded similar to a panic attack
@Tanavids
it sure sounds legit. Serious, serious respect.
@Ripley9425
as a man who was suffering from panic attacks for almost five years it is great internal struggle and she is awesome to pull through it
@joshuasizemore4862
this song is about her lover for her partner even though he is abusive.
@cestarianinhabitant5898
Somehow I'd never listened to this track before, but after hearing it, In This Moment just hits different. The bravery that it must have taken to record and release something like this is downright heroic.

@Sanderson890
I think the voice says: Just take a closer look; not: Just take your clothes off. Thank you for lyrics anyway.
@nicorizzo5402
@Sanderson890 No he does say just take your clothes off. This is about her abusive stepfather. She has mentioned how he sexually abused her, especially in the song daddy's falling angel.
