GRAB YOUR MOVEMENT CLOTHES AND LISTEN TO IN THIS MOMENT’S “BLOOD”

The male members of In This Moment were thrilled to learn that they could finally appear on the band’s album art, as long as their faces were concealed.

Well, whatever else you can say about In This Moment, you can’t accuse them of being artistically stagnant. “Blood,” their new single, legitimately sounds like nothing I’ve ever heard this band do before. In fact, I actually kind of… gulp… like it.

Granted, it’s awful. It sounds like Otep recorded vocals for a new, Skrillex-produced version of Janet Jackson’s “Black Cat.” But I’ve listened to it like four times in a row now, and every time, I wanna be magically transported back in time to my eleventh grade winter formal. I mean shit gets REAL up in this bitch. Seriously, don’t listen to this unless you have room to dance and a change of clothes, ’cause you will break a sweat.

Also, props to Maria Brink for her new lyrics: “I’m a dirty, dirty girl, I wanna feel the pain.” At last, we can openly acknowledge the two massive reasons this band is so popular.

In This Moment’s new album is also called Blood, and comes out August 14 on Century.
