In This Moment Presents Ambitious Ninth Album "Witch" with Strong Collaborations

The American alternative metal band In This Moment has released its highly anticipated ninth studio album, Witch, marking a significant milestone in the band’s musical journey. The album is set for release in 2026 and immediately captivates with its ambitious soundscape, storytelling, and dynamic collaborations. Under the leadership of Maria Brink, the band has carved out a unique space in modern heavy music, where raw intensity meets theatrical and melodic elements – ingredients that continue to define Witch.

The album's launch is led by the compelling single "I Want To Believe", accompanied by a powerful music video. On the track, Maria Brink is joined by Dayseeker’s Rory Rodriguez, a collaboration that took shape after their joint tour in 2025. The song’s lyrics revolve around the struggle to hold on to hope and light during adversity. "It’s like reaching for a hand as it’s disappearing – a quiet fight to keep believing in the light as the world changes," describes Brink. The duet adds further emotional weight to the song and elevates the album’s overarching narrative of resilience and personal transformation.

Witch contains eleven tracks and pushes the band’s expression even further. The listener encounters both the familiar interplay between heaviness and emotion, as well as a bolder musical range with grand melodic features. The album's tracklist is:

• Shame
• I Want To Believe (feat. Dayseeker)
• Crawl
• Into The Dark
• Sleeping With The Enemy
• Wrapped Around Your Finger
• Heretic (feat. Kim Dracula)
• Father
• Without Me There's No You
• Another Brick In The Wall (feat. Kat Von D)
• Something I Can Never Have

The album’s guest appearances are both varied and well integrated. In addition to Rodriguez, Kim Dracula features on “Heretic” and Kat Von D on “Another Brick In The Wall,” underlining In This Moment’s curiosity and willingness to push genre boundaries. These collaborations enrich the sonic landscape and enhance the emotional nerve of the album.

Brink’s vision for Witch is deeply personal, with lyrics reflecting themes of duality, self-acceptance, and how pain transforms into creative power. She describes the album as her own declaration of change: “’Witch’ is my declaration for change. It’s about embracing one’s inner contradictions and forging strength out of adversity. For me, a witch is someone with creative energy – a person with deep connection to the world and the ability to shape their reality.”

With Witch, In This Moment continues to unite theatrical finesse with genuine emotion, offering listeners a dramatic, melodic, and emotionally charged whole. The expansive production confirms that the band dares to evolve without abandoning the core expression that has brought them success and a loyal international audience.
