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 ↴
You don't know the pain
Loving what you can't have
Is drive me insane
I'm dangerous, I pull away
You're dangerous, so keep your distance
Still you run through my veins
And there's nothing I can do
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Meet me in the, in the next life
I still can hear you screaming
I still can see your eyes
Believing in your love for me
As you watched me die
I'm dangerous, I pull away
You're dangerous, so keep your distance
Still you run through my veins
And there's nothing I can do
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Meet me in the, in the next life
So now we've gone our own ways
Memories dried and scabbed
Your scars show on your hands
Mine show in my eyes
So now we've gone our own ways
Memories dried and scabbed
These scars show now
You're dangerous
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Meet me in the, in the next life
Now we've gone our own ways
Memories dried and scabbed
These scars show now
The lyrics of the song "Next Life" by In This Moment talk about a painful and complicated situation of loving someone who cannot be with you. The singer talks about how loving someone you cannot have can be torturous and make you insane, and despite the danger of falling deeper, the love still runs through their veins. The chorus speaks of waiting for the person in the next life, indicating that this love will never truly be able to exist in this lifetime. The second verse adds a layer of tragedy as the singer can still hear the screams and see the eyes of the person they loved who watched them die, which only adds to their pain and makes their love for that person stronger. The song ends on a note of acceptance and healing, as the scars of the past show themselves but the singer is still waiting for the person in the next life.
In essence, the song speaks to a universal experience of loving someone you can't have, which can become all-consuming and painful. The lyrics convey a mix of emotions such as pain, acceptance, and longing, and the music complements this with its heavy and melancholy tone. The song shows how In This Moment can tap into the complexities of human emotion and showcase them through their music.
