GRAMMY® Award-nominated act In This Moment have unleashed a new studio album GODMODE.
The group’s eighth album GODMODE finds vocalist Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth writing the most powerful songs of their career.
Recorded at Hideout Recording Studio in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 10-track opus was produced by Kane Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch) and Tyler Bates (John Wick, Jerry Cantrell, Bush) and marks a new high for the quintet, further cementing their legacy in the heavy music world.
“There’s a spontaneity in this album that you can hear. It's a little more visceral. And that we're not with Kevin [Churko], who has done all our albums except for our very first, fans will hear those differences too, which is really cool and exciting for us,” says Howorth. “We absolutely cannot wait for everyone to hear what we’ve created.”
One of the record's highlights is Damaged a collaboration with Spencer Charnas of slashercore innovators Ice Nine Kills.
We’ve been wanting to work with Spencer [Charnas] for a while,” says Brink. “The back and forth with his vocal is someone actually feeling that they love and understand you, and they want to help you and go through it with you.” She adds, “lyrically and emotionally it comes from a place of me going through a lot of different traumatic things. I suffered from unworthiness. It’s a lot to be with somebody who has post-traumatic stress. I have a lot of tics and things, and you can get into the mindset that you should just be alone, so nobody has to deal with it. It’s sourcing back to that in my past.”
GODMODE arrives following the band's cover of Bjork's industrial-pop classic Army of Me, which in turn followed Godmode and The Purge in previewing GODMODE.
Speaking on the decision to cover the 1995 Bjork track Brink reflected on the impact Bjork had on her own music taste as a youth. "I was a teenager when I first got into Bjork. I was mesmerized by her. She has a really inspiring energy to a lot of her stuff, an enlightening feeling. She's just so innovative and groundbreaking and inspiring and magical."
Howorth revealed that Brink suggested three different Bjork tracks to cover and Army of Me was the one he thought deserved the nod.
"Maria played me three different Bjork songs to see which I thought would be the best. This was the one. I didn't know it was gonna come out as cool as it is. It's so rockin'."

The Purge arrived accompanied by a horror film clip directed by Jensen Noen (Ice Nine Kills, Falling In Reverse, Hollywood Undead).
