IN THIS MOMENT Unleashes New Single 'Crawl' as Prelude to Upcoming Album 'Witch'

By Jason •
The heavy metal titans return with a fierce new anthem and a promise of transformative power in their upcoming LP.

IN THIS MOMENT, the Grammy-nominated juggernaut of heavy alternative metal, has stormed back into the scene with a blistering new single and visually arresting music video for "Crawl." This track signals the imminent arrival of their ninth studio album, "Witch," set to drop on August 28 under the banner of Better Noise Music.

"Crawl" is a raw, unrelenting force, encapsulating the quintessential IN THIS MOMENT sound that fans have come to crave. Powered by a gut-wrenching riff and the soaring, seismic vocals of the inimitable Maria Brink, the track hooks you in and refuses to let go. It’s a sonic onslaught worthy of obsession, reminiscent of the band’s best offerings throughout their illustrious career.

Brink describes "Crawl" as a reckoning—a powerful reflection on the inevitable downfall of those who wield power and inflict pain. “As above, so below,” she states, emphasizing the balance of the universe and the fall that awaits those who once stood tall. This track is not merely a song; it’s a declaration that the oppressed will rise and reclaim their strength.

Co-founder and guitarist Chris Howorth amplifies this sentiment, asserting that "Crawl" serves as a visceral commentary on the cycle of dominance and abuse that has plagued humanity through the ages. With this song, IN THIS MOMENT champions empowerment and resilience, urging listeners to rise up against oppression.

But don’t think for a second that "Crawl" is the full story. "Witch" promises to showcase the multifaceted identity of IN THIS MOMENT, weaving together fury, femininity, and ferocity across 11 tracks. Collaborations with artists like DAYSEEKER and Kat Von D bolster this ambitious album, which aims to explore themes of transformation and personal power.

Brink reveals that "Witch" symbolizes her own inner metamorphosis, merging pain and struggle into a potent source of strength. This album is not just a collection of songs; it’s an exploration of the duality within, embodying what it means to be a creator connected to the universe. Following the success of "Sleeping With The Enemy," which garnered over a million streams and critical acclaim, fans can expect nothing short of an electrifying experience.
