In This Moment's 'Witch' Blends Metal, Industrial, and Electronic Vibes

publication · 2026-08-26

The American metal band In This Moment has released their eighth studio album, 'Witch', which continues their signature blend of metal, industrial, and electronic elements. The album features vocalist Maria Brink's dynamic range, from aggressive shouts to melodic passages. The opening track 'Shame' serves as a furious manifesto, while the pre-release single 'Crawl' is also notable. The song 'Heretic' is highlighted as one of the band's best in recent years, featuring hard guitars, hellish screams from guest vocalist Kim Dracula, and blasphemous lyrics. The band, hailing from California, does not reinvent their sound on this album but demonstrates their continued mastery after the weaker predecessor 'Godmode'. The review is written by Mel Oliver Settele and published on kulturnews.de.
