In This Moment
In This Moment’s Maria Brink is hardly the first or only melodic, polished female singer to front a metal band, but she may have the most crossover appeal for the American Idol set. All the more unexpected, then, that her melodrama-bloated vocal style should mesh as well as it does with the band’s straight-charging, power-metal-lite hooks. In This Moment’s sound got the complete carwash treatment on 2008’s The Dream, buffed to a shine by producer Kevin Churko (Britney Spears, Celine Dion), who was careful not to let the slick finish suffocate the guitars. Churko returned to helm the 2010 follow-up, A Star-Crossed Wasteland, resulting in a similar sounding, if slightly heavier, record that often sounds like a far less technical and ferocious version of Century Media labelmate Luna Mortis.
