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, โWe have a bunch of ideas and the way we did โBloodโ was different than weโd 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 weโre going to do the same thing again. Weโre gonna try to replicate the magic of โBloodโ and try to take the style and sound we had for โBloodโ and just do it bigger and better while still keeping true to that same vibe. Thatโs 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.

Prayer
In This Moment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My head leaned back, my hands are tied
I stand in here alone I scream
Questions why
Days slip by and nights I taste
These memories run through my veins
Injecting me with one last kiss
This medication can't save me
And desperation takes hold of me
I wanted to believe in all of this
And I wanted to believe in you
(You believed in me)
All I am, all I have
Leads me down these roads again
Take my hand, show me the way
And never bring me back here
Determination is pushing me
And perseverance is what I bleed
I wanted to believe in all of this
And I wanted to believe in you
(You believed in me)
All I am, all I have
Leads me down these roads again
Take my hand, show me the way
And never bring me back here
These are my unanswered prayers
The time has come for me
To say goodbye
God please hear me calling
All I am, all I have
Leads me down these roads again
Take my hand, show me the way
And never bring me back here again
Never bring me back here again
Never bring me back
These are my unanswered prayers
The time has come for me
To say goodbye
God please hear me calling
The lyrics to In This Moment's song "Prayers" express the feelings of desperation and hopelessness of the singer. The first stanza describes a sense of helplessness as the singer feels trapped and restrained, asking why they are there, and questioning their purpose. The singer describes the pain of holding on to memories that are slowly killing them, like a drug, injecting them with a last kiss of sorrow, asking why. However, they realize that the medication they are taking won't save them, and they are desperate for something to hold onto, something to believe in. They express their wish for someone they can trust, someone who could guide them out of this darkness, and never bring them back. The singer's determination to move on despite the despair they are feeling is palpable through the lyrics. They express their perseverance and hope that they can believe in something or someone, but they know that it's a difficult road.
The chorus, "All I am, all I have. Leads me down these roads again. Take my hand, show me the way. And never bring me back here again," emphasizes the singer's desire for guidance, and their apprehension about returning to the darkness they are currently experiencing.
The last stanza, "These are my unanswered prayers. The time has come for me to say goodbye. God please hear me calling," is where the singer realizes that they have to let go of their past and unanswered prayers in order to move forward. They acknowledge that they have reached the end of what they can endure and cry out to God to hear their plea for help.
Overall, "Prayers" is a powerful song about the struggle to hold onto hope in the face of despair. It's a call for guidance and direction from someone or something that can lead the singer out of their pain and towards a better future.
