In This Moment released a new single “Hunting Grounds” which has a haunting and melodic beat before vocalist, Maria Brink and Joe Cotela break through to form the track. The band flows creatively with the male / female blend that stretches effortlessly in the intro, with lyrics like, “One of us is going down, so I say we do this anyway. Down in the darkness, bring me some light. Meet on the hunting grounds.” Their upcoming album, Mother will be released on March 27 on Roadrunner/Atlantic.
Brink’s voice is sultry and perfect set against Cotela’s more fierce and strong tone. As Brink cries out in the song, “One of us is going down” Cotela comes through, “I say let’s do this anyway.” The band will be touring with Black Veil Brides, Ded and Raven Black in multiple cities in the coming months. In This Moment released their last album, Ritual in July 2017 and Ritual which guitarist, Chris Howorth described as “stripped down” and “raw” while Brink shared, “I wanted to show people and definitely women a different side of strength in me that was a really powerful force in me that didn’t need the sexual part, so there’s definitely a more serious overtone…a more serious deeper side of us.”
The band has performed on several festivals like Ozzfest, Warped Tour, Download Festival, Mayhem Festival, Music as a Weapon V tour, Uproar Festival, Rock on the Range, Carnival of Madness, Knotfest, Rockfest, Rocklahoma, Louder Than Life, Aftershock and Welcome to Rockville.
