Bio:
In This Moment is an American metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed by singer Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth in 2005. They found drummer Jeff Fabb and started the band as Dying Star. Unhappy with their musical direction, they changed their name to In This Moment and gained two band members, guitarist Blake Bunzel and bassist Josh Newell. In late 2005, bassist Newell left the band and was replaced by Pascual Romero, who in turn was quickly replaced by Jesse Landry. Landry was replaced by Kyle Konkiel in 2009 and Konkiel was replaced by Travis Johnson in 2010. Jeff Fabb and Blake Bunzel left the band in 2011, and were replaced by Tom Hane and Randy Weitzel respectively.Their debut album, Beautiful Tragedy, was released in 2007. Their second album, titled The Dream was released the following year debuting at number 73 on the Billboard 200. The band's third album, A Star-Crossed Wasteland was released in 2010, and their fourth album titled Blood was released in August 2012 and debuted at number 15. They have performed on several notable tours and festivals including Ozzfest in 2007 and 2008, Warped Tour in 2009, Download Festival in 2009 and 2013, Mayhem Festival in 2010, Music as a Weapon V tour in 2011, the Uproar Festival in 2012 and the Carnival of Madness tour in 2013. Their fifth album titled Black Widow is scheduled for release this fall.
Album:
Godmode is the eighth studio album by American rock band In This Moment. The album was released on October 27, 2023, through BMG Rights Management. It is the band's first album to not be produced by Kevin Churko since Beautiful Tragedy (2007). Instead, the album was produced by Kevin's son, Kane Churko, along with Tyler Bates. The album was preceded by four singles: "I Would Die for You", "The Purge", "Godmode", and "Army of Me" (Björk cover).Godmode received generally positive reviews from critics. Dom Lawson of Blabbermouth.net wrote, "In every other respect, this is a strong and gently subversive piece of work. As ever, In This Moment have vast commercial potential, but there is plenty of evidence that they remain slightly too weird and unpredictable for that potential to be fully realized. For that alone, they should be loudly applauded."Kerrang! was positive about the album's sound stating, "From electronic throb and dark pop menace, Godmode persistently creates new textures that nevertheless resolve in ways that will get heads nodding and hands raised at the band's uniquely theatrical live shows."Metal Hammer gave the album a positive review and stated that "Anyone who's been paying attention knows that, for some time, In This Moment have had the live show and back catalogue to grant them access to metal's top tier. If there's any justice in the world, Godmode will be the album that finally sees them break down the door."Mike DeWald of Riff wrote, "At its core, the eighth album from SoCal rockers In This Moment is the natural extension of a sound the band has been cultivating for years." Rock 'N' Load praised the album saying, "All in all, Godmode is a frantically beautiful collection of songs, a perfect change of pace and direction if you need a pallet cleanser. If you haven't delved into the world of In This Moment, this could just be the perfect time to get your hands dirty."[Simon K. of Sputnikmusic wrote that they were surprised by Godmode:"it's their best album since Blood...The band's experimentation with atmosphere comes into fruition on Godmode, and uses their old, heavier style in the process...it's certainly a step in the right direction...If you're a fan of the band's older sound but didn't gel with what they've been doing since 2014, give this a go." Wall of Sound wrote, "This album is excellent, especially if you want something different in the heavy music world."
