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.

Lost At Sea
In This Moment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why are you crying
On your knees
You've crucified yourself
And now denial is rising
Why
So tell me
Drifting within
So tell me why did you cast yourself away
It's such a sweet addiction
You should celebrate
My beautiful liar
You are drowning
In your fear
You're cutting into me
You think if I bleed
It can save you
Why
So tell me
So tell me how did you lose yourself at sea
Drifting within
So tell me why did you cast yourself away
It's such a sweet addiction
You should celebrate
And you know if I could
I'd take your pain
But will you turn and face your disease?
The opening line of the chorus “So tell me how did you lose yourself at sea” serves as an extended metaphor for feeling lost and alone in life. Just like being lost at sea without a lifeline, a person can feel helpless and isolated in their struggles. The line “You’ve crucified yourself and now denial is rising” references the self-destructive behaviors that lead to feeling lost. When we hurt ourselves repeatedly, it can be difficult to admit our pain and reach out for help.
The second verse hints at the push and pull in a toxic relationship. The singer is being emotionally battered by their partner’s fears and insecurities. The line “You think if I bleed it can save you” suggests that the partner is using the singer’s pain as a way to avoid confronting their own issues. The final lines “But will you turn and face your disease?” show that the singer is running out of patience with their partner’s self-destructive tendencies. They want to offer help and support, but they also can’t keep sacrificing their own well-being for someone who refuses to change.
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of emotional pain and the difficulties of helping someone who is struggling with their own demons.

Fantastic album overall. I know many think it's "weak" compared to their others, but this is the album that got me in to them. She's really the only screamer I can listen to.
