Ah, In This Moment. One of the leading lights of modern US metal, with much genre-bending under their belt, they have become one of the most recognizable acts on the metal stage. Since coming to life in 2005, In This Moment have presided over a diehard fan base under the watch of “mother” figure and frontwoman Maria Brink—joined by co-founder and lead guitarist Chris Howorth, bassist Travis Johnson, guitarist Randy Weitzel, and drummer Kent Diimmel. As millions convened upon the group’s otherworldly and unforgettable concerts, they quietly emerged as one of the most influential and impactful bands of the 21st century.
To date, in addition to the Gold-selling album, ‘Blood’ [2012], the quintet have garnered eight Gold and Platinum singles, followed by a trifecta of Top 25 entries on the Billboard 200 including the Lady Gaga-goes metal of ‘Black Widow’ [2014] and ‘Ritual’ [2017]. With a total stream tally well past 200 million, ‘Ritual’ elevated them to new creative and critical peaks as well.
Between selling out headline tours coast-to-coast, the group performed in arenas everywhere alongside Disturbed and appeared at countless festivals from Rockville to Sonic Temple. Along the way, they assembled their seventh full-length, the aptly titled ‘Mother’ [Roadrunner Records] with longtime trusted collaborator Kevin Churko [Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch]. Whereas ‘Ritual’ hinted at a bluesy sonic sorcery, ‘Mother’ breathes the activating mantra of an unbreakable spell, commenced on first single ‘The In-Between’.
The band also just announced an epic headlining tour across North America this autumn featuring special guests Kim Dracula, Nathan James, and Mike’s Dead. The GODMODE Tour which continues the celebration of the release of their 2023 album of the same name, will see the band perform at arenas and amphitheatres across the U.S. The upcoming trek is set to kick off November 8th at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, NC and continue through a December 7th performance at SNHU Arena in Manchester, NH.
In This Moment hit a career milestone in their evening-closing performance at Lollapalooza this summer, and are currently on the second leg of their co-headline Kiss of Death tour with Ice Nine Kills, featuring special guests Avatar and TX2. The band also makes a stop at Louder Than Life Festival, as well as a performance alongside Evanescence and Halestorm at Soaring Eagle Casino in Michigan on September 28th.
