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 ↴
I don't need you to cure me
I don't need you and your antidote for I am my disease
I don't need you to free me
I don't need you to help me
I don't need you to lead me through the light
Your venomous heroine
'Cause I am a survivor
Yeah, I am a fighter
I will fall and rise above
And in your hate I find love
'Cause I'm a survivor
Yeah, I am a fighter
I will not hide my face
I will not fall from grace
I'll walk into the fire, baby
All my life
I was afraid to die
And now I come alive inside these flames
You don't want me to love you
You don't want me to need you
You don't want to look at me for you will turn to stone
You don't want me to hurt you
You don't want me to bite you
You don't want me or my aching soul
For I will only fall and rise again
Your venomous heroine
I'm a survivor
Yeah, I am a fighter
I will fall and rise above
And in your hate I find love
'Cause I'm a survivor
Yeah, I am a fighter
I will not hide my face
I will not fall from grace
I'll walk into the fire, baby.
All my life
I was afraid to die
But now I come alive inside these flames!
I don't need you to save me
'Cause I'm a survivor
Yeah, I am a fighter
I will not hide my face,
I will not fall from grace,
I'll walk into the fire, baby
All my life
I was afraid to die
But now I come alive inside these
Alive inside these
Alive inside these
The lyrics to In This Moment's song "The Fighter" speak to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and emerge stronger on the other side. The song is a bold declaration of independence and self-sufficiency, with the singer asserting that she doesn't need anyone else to save her or cure her because she is her own disease. She rejects the idea that anyone else can free her or lead her through the light because she is the one who will always fall and rise again, like a survivor.
The chorus reinforces this theme, as the singer declares herself to be a fighter who will "fall and rise above" and find love in the midst of hate. This is a song about transformation and resilience, about turning adversity into an opportunity to grow and thrive. It's also a song about embracing risk and uncertainty, as the singer vows to walk into the fire rather than hide her face or fall from grace.
Overall, "The Fighter" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and determination, with a clear message that we are all capable of overcoming whatever challenges we face and emerging stronger on the other side.

Damn, what a song.
As someone who has suffered anxiety and depression for decades, survived multiple suicide attempts and generally had life kick his ass my entire life this brought me to tears. Big ugly, sobbie tears.
Not sadness or depression though, but rather triumphant catharsis.
I'll fall again in life, I have no doubt of this. Its who I am.
But I'm now not so convinced my passing will be self inflicted anymore.
After 45 years of battling I think this helped me gain some perspective.
Winning the fight, even when its so damn hard to even want to fight....
That's something to be proud of.
If we were able to put even half the effort and energy into thriving as we do simply existing we'd be unstoppable.
While talking from personal perspective its a truth of anyone who has been through anxiety/depression/trauma/etc.
Please be proud of yourselves. Life isn't easy, yet even with additional burdens many just soldier on.
Absolute freaking super heroes as far as I'm concerned.

@jasonschuminski1819
"I will not hide my face...". Immediately proceeds to hide face.
Maria's fired as director.
@coolguy95ful
lol
@kkerper13
+Jason Schuminski I noticed that too! Her broken, emotional performance didn't fit the lyrics of the song. It was disappointing.
@NubEmilyne
Lucky she wasn't the only director
@violettatti3327
I guess it just shows how people always say they'll do good and they'll be strong, but then they fail and feel like shit. Later on in the video she actually continues to show her face during those lyrics. Probably just her way of saying that she actually has grown and accepts her fails.
@jipsims4207
Hahaha exactly
