    In This Moment dig into a dark, sedistic metal teased with electronic filler to bring forth one of their more interesting works to date. Several of the tracks feel purposeful and rarely boring or skip-worthy, such as the lead single "Blood" and the follow-up "Adrenalize". The halfway point's "Scarlet" is one of the defining moments of the album, providing brooding acoustic guitars that eventually spill into the full band bashing the group is known for. Overall the album is strong, though it's not the crowning achievement of the band's discography. I can see where In This Moment could build off of Blood and craft one of the better metal albums in recent history. The potential is definitely there.… Full Review »

    In This Moment took a different avenue. A less Metal sounding, the integration of Electronic elements, even the flow of her growl has change a bit...more like Riot Grrrl approach. If you are stick in pure Heavy Metal, don't touch this. If you like adventurous Metal, try this. I'm not saying the album is a 100% solid but there is some very solid tracks. Worth it for sure!… Full Review »

    Unfortunately this band had kinda flew under my radar until last Oct. (2012). A friend from work, my fiance and myself heard "Blood" the title track on a local metal station and had to find out more!!! We learned the name of the band, that they had recently released a new album, and to top all off were coming close to our home city!!! Got the new release, fell in love immediately!!!! She can wail!!!! Not since Otep have I heard a chic go off the way Maria Brink does, and at the same time is a very talented singer (in the traditional way I guess you would say). Their stage presence and energy are unmatched, along with the fact that despite their recent growth in popularity, still play somewhat small, modest and IN YOUR FACE venues!!!! We enjoyed seeing them for the first time at "The Masquerade" in Atlanta, GA. I had previously been there for raves and smaller shows. They just blew it out of the water, Maria is so sexy and tantalizing on stage and the warriors behind her just straight shred!!!! I have passed on the enjoyment to every person possible. I remember seeing "Staind" in 1999 opening up for Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock and beforehand saying Staind? Who the hell is Staind?? Well that story tells itself, needless to say. Anyway, just wanted to pass on my thoughts of this great band to whom ever will listen, and if you've never partaken, give them a chance?!?!? If that's your kind of music scene, you WILL NOT regret it. I certainly haven't and plan to see them every chance I get. To Metal an all to changing (and shrinking, at least for pure, good bands!!!) genre, we salute thee!!! For some of us it is what just simply relieves the stress of the day, and for some (myself included) it has changed and saved our lives!! And definitely prevented a few more shooting sprees!!!! Support your local fuzz!!!!! … Full Review »
