In This Moment is an American metalcore band formed in 2005. Their first album entitled Beautiful Tragedy was released on March 20, 2007 on Century Media Records. The band's vocalist Maria Brink utilizes both screams and a good deal of clean, emotive singing.

[edit] History

In 2005, singer Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth met through some common friends. After becoming acquainted, and finding that there was much in common between them, they began writing songs together. Soon thereafter they enlisted the help of Los Angeles drummer Jeff Fabb. By mid-2005, the lineup included Brink, Howorth, Fabb, guitarist Blake Bunzel, and bassist Josh Newell. The band recorded demos and posted them on MySpace, where they generated an internet following. The demos included rough versions of "Ashes", "The Legacy of Odio", "Next Life", "This Moment", and "Prayers", as well as a cover of Slayer's "Postmortem". During the summer of 2005, Newell departed from the band to focus on his other project, Ketaset, as well as his sound engineering work. Pascual Romero (currently in Tinhorn) was then the bassist for a time before friend of the band Jesse Landry was eventually tapped to round out the band permanently.

By the end of the year In This Moment had generated a fanbase due to diligent internet marketing, largely due to the do-it-yourself touring. This sparked an interest from Century Media Records, and a worldwide record deal followed.

They are currently not on tour but are recording their newest album due Fall 2008.^{[citation needed]} However, the band will perform August 9, 2008 for a one day only OzzFest 2008.
