In This Moment

In This Moment, the Los Angeles-based rock band, emerged from the ashes of Dying Star in 2005. Founded by vocalist Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth, the initial lineup soon expanded with the addition of drummer Jeff Fabb. However, a creative shift led to a name change and a revamped roster, incorporating guitarist Blake Bunzel and bassist Josh Newell. Newell`s departure in 2005 saw Jesse Landry take over on bass.

Their musical journey began with the 2007 debut album Beautiful Tragedy. Subsequent releases saw their star rise steadily: The Dream (2008) charted at #73 on Billboard 200, followed by A Star-Crossed Wasteland (2010) and Blood (2012), which peaked at #15. Black Widow (2014) became their highest-charting album to date, debuting at #8. The band continued to build momentum with Ritual (2017), reaching #23, and capped off the 2010s with their seventh studio album, Mother (2020). In This Moment`s trajectory showcases a consistent evolution and increasing commercial success within the rock genre.
