In This Moment’s Maria Brink recently sat down with Revolver and discussed why Pantera topped as the year’s best live band.
Chris Howorth and Maria opened up about their year in music, movies, live performances, and other things. When asked which live band was their favorite to see this year, Chris picked Suicide Silence as his favorite, even though he didn’t see many bands in 2023. Brink then added:
“Because it was nostalgic to me from when I was younger and all that, I’ll say Pantera. They reunited, we did some festivals with them, and I went out and watched. And there was just that feeling of bringing you back watching it that makes me feel so nostalgic inside.”
Discovering New Sounds
The singer also talked about the new bands she discovered and enjoyed this year, explaining:
“I think the newest thing I’ve been listening to that I’m loving is the new ††† (Crosses). I also love HEALTH; I’ve gotten into them a lot. Immortal Girlfriend is another one that I’m really loving. And Cannons.”
In This Moment’s 2023 Milestones
In 2023, In This Moment released ‘Godmode,’ one of the year’s top albums, embarked on an arena tour, had a track included in ‘John Wick: Chapter 4,’ and laid out significant plans for 2024. Howorth believes their most significant achievement in 2023 was releasing their new album. Agreeing with him, Maria continued:
“I also agree, ‘Godmode’ coming together and the way that that happened. But I gotta show some love to [us being in] a ‘John Wick’ movie this year. That was massive. And then for us, we just headlined … I’m originally from Albany, New York, and I started out at little, tiny theaters that hold 40 or 50 people there. Little mini clubs. And I just got to headline there on my last tour with an arena and pyro, and it was just such a full circle for me. My heart was full of love.”
‘Godmode’ arrived on October 27, 2023. In This Moment currently has two shows scheduled for 2024, with their appearance on Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple 2024.
