In This Moment kicked off 2009 with a bang embarking on a massive North American trek alongside Mudvayne and Nonpoint. The group have also announced a slew of headlining dates throughout the country filling in some gaps between Mudvayne off-dates. Be sure to visit Myspace.com to view the tour’s itinerary.
MTV’s Headbangers Ball Blog recently conducted a very candid and in-depth Podcast with the band’s vivacious frontwoman
Maria Brink in which she talks about sexuality, being a role model to young girls, what she does on the bus and how she gets along with male bandmates. She also discussed her relationship with her boyfriend/DevilDriver bassist
Jonathan Miller, her biggest nightmares and the thrill of winning over different audiences from various genres. Click on the

Brink can sing like an angel and howl like a demon and her bandmates play with confidence and skill, hungrily exploring the music spectrum. Their debut offering, Beautiful Tragedy, was a searing platter of Pantera-influenced metal and hard rock. Last year’s The Dream was far more melodic, bearing more in common with a heavier Pat Benatar or No Doubt. However the songs were also multifaceted and the guitars were heavy, and for all of the old fans that bailed, In This Moment picked up more new listeners intrigued by the group’s combination of sensuality and crashing rock.
This Mudvayne run comes on the heels of the band’s most successful year yet which saw Brink landing major cover features in Inked, Revolver and Metal Edge as their latest album, The Dream, debuted at #70 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, marking the group’s first Billboard entry.
