IN THIS MOMENT Unleash Their Dark Magic with New Album 'Witch'

By Jason •
The theatrical titans of metal return with a bold and adventurous sound that defies boundaries.

IN THIS MOMENT have never been ones to play it safe, and their latest offering, 'Witch', is a testament to their fearless creativity and artistic evolution. Formed in 2005, the band has constructed an entire universe around their music, with the enigmatic Maria Brink at the helm. With 'Witch', they continue to weave a dark and captivating tale, but this time they push the envelope even further, blending heavy theatricality with an adventurous spirit that's sure to enthrall fans old and new.

Rather than rehashing the sound that catapulted them into the spotlight, 'Witch' ventures into uncharted territory. Songs like 'I Want To Believe', featuring the haunting vocals of Rory Rodriguez from DAYSEEKER, showcase a raw emotional resonance, melding yearning with vulnerability. This collaboration proves that Brink and Rodriguez can effortlessly intertwine their distinct vocal styles, creating a powerful anthem that recalls the band's earlier emotional depth while highlighting their growth as artists.

Then there's the audacious cover of PINK FLOYD’s iconic 'Another Brick In The Wall', featuring the unmistakable Kat Von D. IN THIS MOMENT takes this classic and drags it into a sinister abyss, infusing it with a sense of menace that is both chilling and exhilarating. It’s a bold reinterpretation that pays homage to the original while firmly establishing their own identity within the track.

Moreover, 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' sees the band reimagining THE POLICE's classic with an experimental twist that allows them to explore atmospheric nuances rather than merely cranking up the heaviness. This track is a testament to their ability to manipulate space and mood, showcasing their diverse range. Meanwhile, 'Crawl' stands out as one of the most accessible tracks, blending heavy riffs with catchy melodies that could easily dominate the airwaves, embodying the essence of IN THIS MOMENT’s recent catalog.

'Witch' masterfully balances weight and melody, experimentation and accessibility, solidifying IN THIS MOMENT's status as one of modern heavy music's most defining forces. With over two billion global streams, a gold-certified album, and multiple hits that have gone gold and platinum, this band is not just here to participate—they're here to dominate. 'Witch' is not just another album; it’s a bold declaration of their artistry and a step further into the abyss of heavy music.
