Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum American metal giant In This Moment is opening a new chapter in their career by announcing the release of their ninth studio album, Witch, on August 28th. The album is also the band’s first full-length album under Better Noise Music.

Along with the news, the band is releasing the album’s next single, Crawl, accompanied by a music video. The song offers everything In This Moment is known for, namely heavy riffs, a hypnotic atmosphere and singer Maria Brink’s recognizable and powerful interpretation. The song combines the band’s dark aesthetic with catchy melodies in the band’s unique style. Listen to Crawl here.

Singer Maria Brink says the song is about the abuse of power and the consequences of actions:

“Crawl is a kind of reckoning. It reminds us that those who use their power to hurt others will sooner or later face the consequences of their own actions. Those who have climbed on top of their heads may eventually end up on their knees.”

Guitarist and founding member Chris Howorth also sees a broader social message in the song:

“The song describes how those in power have oppressed those in a weaker position throughout history. It’s a raw and direct statement, but at the same time an empowering reminder that injustice can be fought back.”

The upcoming album brings together all of In This Moment’s signature elements – a balance between heavy and delicate, theatricality and strong emotional expression. The album also features several guest appearances, including Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, and Kat Von D.

“This album is my declaration of inner transformation. It’s about accepting my own duality and how pain, adversity, and being judged can be turned into strength. The album reflects both ancient trials and my own journey. To me, ‘witch’ is a creative force – a person who is connected to the world around them and creates their own reality.”

Combining theatrical expression and sharp modern rock, In This Moment release their new single Sleeping With The Enemy with a stunning video.

Led by the charismatic Maria Brink, the band, which has already collected over two billion streams in their career, has also managed to achieve seven gold singles and two platinum singles in the decade, three Billboard 200 Top 25 rankings for their albums and receive a Grammy nomination, so the beginning of the new album era is an exciting moment. One single from the upcoming album, Heretic (feat. Kim Dracula), has already been released.

“Sleeping with the Enemy and our upcoming album are about confronting the darkness — whether it’s inside or outside of us. It’s about looking the darkness in the eye and turning it into power. We’re incredibly excited and ready to show the world what we’ve created,” says Brink.

Founded in 2005, the band has built a loyal fan base under the leadership of Brink, who is known as a “mother figure”. The band also includes founding member and guitarist Chris Howorth, bassist Travis Johnson, guitarist Randy Weitzel and drummer Kent Diimmel. Over the years, they have grown into one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the 2000s. In addition to their sold-out tours, the band has performed in arenas and at numerous festivals from Lollapalooza to Sonic Temple. Along the way, they have collaborated with, among others, Ozzy Osbourne and Kevin Churko, who has worked with Five Finger Death Punch, and in 2020 the band received a Grammy nomination in the category “Best Metal Performance”. The band was also heard on the soundtrack of the film John Wick: Chapter 4.
