Ritual

For their sixth studio album, Ritual, In This Moment rip up their sonic rulebook to explore new velvet-draped hard-rock vistas. On "Oh Lord," Maria Brink’s vocals drip with a hypnotic, bluesy drawl, while “Witching Hour” hews toward synth-spun gothic rock. They even get an assist from glam-metal icon Rob Halford of Judas Priest, who contributes ferocious guest vocals to the swinging vaudeville thrasher “Black Wedding.”
