In This Moment's sixth studio album “Ritual” is set for release on July 21st, 2017, via Atlantic Records with first track “Oh Lord” premiering via video on their official YouTube channel - watch it below.
You can pre-order “Ritual” here - with all digital pre-orders coming with an instant grat download of “Oh Lord” and further tracks to follow in the weeks leading into album release.
Exclusive pre-order bundles, which include custom In This Moment branded rosary beads are also available at the band's webstore here.
Produced by longtime collaborator and multiple Grammy® Award nominee, Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch), “Ritual” sees In This Moment pushing their dark sound forward with a provocative sense of metallic blues and doom. Highlights include a dramatic re-imagination of Phil Collins' classic “In the Air Tonight”, as well as “Black Wedding”, a walk down the aisle of musical madness that sees In This Moment's frontwoman Maria Brink sharing the mic with legendary Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford.
“It's like we're going into the next realm”, says Brink. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I've never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it's without overt sexuality. It's that deeper serious fire inside of my heart”.
“When fans hear this, I want them to feel the music, whether they take away sadness, anger, or happiness”, adds In This Moment lead guitarist Chris Howorth. “As a kid, I remember listening to records and putting them on repeat over and over again. I'd love for the world to listen and absorb this as a piece of work”.
