The moment opener “Gunshow” bursts out of the speakers, I was intrigued. With a mix of metalcore and nu metal, these guys know what they’re doing with vocalist Maria Brink and her sick screams leading the way. Next up is “Just Drive”, a more melodic song that sounds like a pissed off version of Evanescence. It’s like they pulled a Soilwork since the release of “” and ended up sounding a lot more melodic and accessible. I know I shouldn’t like this but In This Moment is onto something here. If you can stomach a little bombast here and there that is. Brink is without a doubt a very capable vocalist and whether she’s screaming, singing, whispering, it always sounds good.
Somewhere between Arch Enemy and Paramore, there was a gaping hole in the female-fronted band department and with “A Star-Crossed Wasteland” In This Moment is here to cater to that audience’s need.
Score: 7 out of 10
