In This Moment singer Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth were recently guests of The Mistress Carrie Podcast and talked about how the songwriting and recording sessions are coming along for the follow-up to the band’s 2023 album “Godmode”. Brink said, “We’re working on the [new] album. It’s just about done. We only probably have, like, two songs left. We thought we were done, and then we kind of had to step away and look back, and it just feels like it needs a little bit more. But we’re still gonna actually be releasing a new song soon.”
Brink continued, “We wanna get new music out. When you tour for a living and you’re out there and you’re doing things, you wanna play new music, you wanna bring new energy to the crowds and to everybody. So we will be dropping a new song very soon with a guest vocalist that we can’t announce yet, but it’s somebody I love and have been inspired by recently. So we’re excited for everyone to hear something coming very soon. And yeah, the album is pretty much done. We only have about two more songs left. So we’re trying to get it all dialed in. And we don’t wanna rush it. We wanna make it the best it can be. And we’ll just release songs until the album’s ready, ’cause we want it to really be something we’re proud of.”
Howorth added, “Yeah, we’re excited too, because we’re on Better Noise (Music) now and they’re kind of doing all of our songs and all of our planning and how we roll things out. So we will be releasing songs until the album is ready, which is something kind of new for us, just kind of releasing standalone songs like that.”
In case you missed it, earlier this week, In This Moment announced their 2025 “Black Mass Tour” featuring special guests Dayseeker on some shows, The Funeral Portrait and Ded on others. The 23-city trek starts September 18 and wraps up on October 24.
To date, In This Moment has six gold and platinum singles, two Top 25 songs on the Billboard 200 with “Black Widow” (2014) and “Ritual” (2017). The streams for ‘Ritual’ have passed 200 million. They recorded their seventh album, “Mother” (Roadrunner Records), with longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy, Five Finger Death Punch).
Talk about a crushing band that gets zero love in Vancouver. What a shame. No radio station has the balls to play this band. Let’s hope that changes.
