In This Moment have officially opened the next chapter of their career with the release of their new single, “Sleeping With The Enemy.”
The track is out now through Better Noise Music and gives fans another taste of the band’s upcoming ninth studio album. The record does not have an official title yet, but it will be In This Moment’s first full-length release with Better Noise Music. The label previously confirmed that the band has been working on its ninth album, with new tracks starting to arrive in 2025.
Led by vocalist Maria Brink, In This Moment have spent years building one of modern rock and metal’s most recognizable identities. Their music mixes heavy guitars, theatrical visuals, dark emotion, and massive melodic hooks. That combination has helped the band grow from a metalcore act into a major name in modern heavy music.
Brink said the new song, and the upcoming album, are about facing darkness and turning it into strength.
“With ‘Sleeping With The Enemy’ and our upcoming album, we’re confronting the darkness — whether it’s inside us or external. It’s about looking that darkness in the face and transforming it into empowerment. We feel so exhilarated and ready to show the world what we’ve conjured up.”
That statement fits the world In This Moment have created over the years. The band’s strongest material often deals with pain, power, identity, fear, and personal transformation. “Sleeping With The Enemy” appears to continue that theme, but with the energy of a new era behind it.
The single follows “Heretic,” the band’s collaboration with Kim Dracula. That track was released in 2025 and was described as the first new music from In This Moment’s upcoming, as-yet-untitled ninth album and their debut for Better Noise Music.
Together, “Heretic” and “Sleeping With The Enemy” suggest that the next In This Moment album will lean into the band’s darker and more theatrical side. The group has not yet announced the album title or release date, but reports have noted that recording sessions for the record have already been completed.
The new single also arrives during a busy period for Maria Brink outside the band. She recently appeared on Eva Under Fire’s single “Villainous,” which is the title track from the Detroit band’s upcoming album. Better Noise Music announced that the track features Brink and described it as a hard rock song built around taking power back.
For In This Moment, “Sleeping With The Enemy” is more than just another single. It marks the continuation of a major transition for the band after the release of Godmode in 2023. With a new label, a new album cycle, and a renewed focus on darkness and empowerment, the group seems ready to expand its world again.
More details about the upcoming ninth album are expected to be announced later. For now, “Sleeping With The Enemy” gives fans the clearest sign yet of what In This Moment’s next chapter will sound like.
