In This Moment is: Maria Vocals, Chris- Guitar, Blake- Guitar, Jesse -bass, Jeff- Drums

I have to admit that I am a jaded music critic. For example, Sparky was going nuts about this band for the better part of the last month. I kept thinking "another run of the mill chic led metal band." I mean, I like Kittie, I dig Arch Enemy….after that I have not been impressed with girl led bands. It has more to do with the fact I like guttural voices more then high pitched cat fighting screams. Enter Maria Brink who makes me eat my words compete with a bludgeoning metal mallet. To say this gal has a clue is an understatement.

Musically think of Killswitch Engage. Vocally, same deal! Think of KsE only Maria's pain glides across the ears with ease. Her ability to trade off between evil temptress and hovering angel is what makes her so appealing. With lead track "Beautiful Tragedy" you get to hear this bands full ability. Finger plucking melodies give away to flowing harmonies that back Brinks absolutely stunning vocals. But as always the gore returns after the chorus and the pit goers of America will be stoked to rumble while Maria stirs a pit frenzied. In the end it is her melodies that pull the heart strings and keep you hooked! Lyrics because everyone likes to sing like a tard in the car:

Silent night, let me sleep away these memories within
Sacrifices of purity are turning into sins
And this judgment day is growing near
And this confession is killing me again

This beautiful tragedy is crashing into me
This dying destiny

So now you lay yourself down in this grave with shattered eyes
Beautiful melodies to try and wash away the lies
And this judgment day is growing near
And this confession is killing me again

Will you be there
Will you be there by my grave
Or will you be the death of me
My beautiful tragedy

This beautiful tragedy is crashing into me
This dying destiny, take me away
This beautiful tragedy come crashing into me
This dying destiny
Opening track "Prayer" is one part KsE, one part Megadeth, one part Ozzy (kind of like the riff from Bark At The Moon) and all Brink! For metal heads, this track will be a staple, it is less accessible then some of the other offerings…all meat and horror like material.
Think Evanescence rocks? You will think that no more kids! Give Maria Brink and In This Moment a try. It is heavy, yet accessible. Beautiful yet overly destructive. Complex music for people who can tolerate a beautiful tragedy!

This album may be the worst steaming pile of human excrement unleashed in 2007, the fact that people buy music such as In This Moment is the reason why metal sucks so much right now.

I guess my particularly scathing review of 'Beautiful Tragedy' won't be gracing these pages any time soon...but eh, to each their own.

More power to you man!

I LOVE this album.. cant get enough!! but her voice goes from beautiful and emotional, to making me want to choke her.. still trying to figure that one out!! A good example would be "The Legacy of Odio".... sometimes her over-pronouciation is just way too much!!! Lyrics are well written.. theres something in this album that almost anyone can relate to and make you feel something in your cold heart. i get the feeling that this band will do just fine at ozzfest!! We will see how long this one stays in my disc changer :-)
