Zara Alexandrovna Levina, born 1906 in Alexandrovsk (Ukraine), witnessed two world wars, the Revolution as well as the collapse and totalitarian reconstruction of her homeland. She was under the constant ideological pressure of the existentially threatening state censorship, which was particularly exerted by the notorious RAPM (Russian Association of Proletarian Musicians) in the 1920s and 1930s, driving her to the brink of a creative and health disaster. However, Zara Levina was able to retain her own and unmistakable voice in her music.
In This Moment have announced details of their upcoming seventh album, Mother. The follow-up to 2017’s Ritual will be released on March 27 via Atlantic Records. Speaking last year, In This Moment guitarist Chris Howorth said that Mother is their “heaviest record since [2012 album] Blood.” He continues: “Now that it’s all done and I’m hearing it as one thing, I’m, like, ‘Damn! This is really heavy.’ So I think a lot of our fans are going to really like that about it. “It’s ‘Mother’ in the sense of mother Maria (Brink, vocalist), but also Mother Earth. Mother is the key to life.”
Mother is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band In This Moment. It was released on March 27, 2020, through Atlantic Records and Roadrunner Records and was produced by Kevin Churko and Kane Churko. The album features a host of special guests including Ded's Joe Cotella, The Pretty Reckless's Taylor Momsen and Halestorm's Lzzy Hale. The first single "The In-Between," is a sonically gorgeous labyrinth of sound steered by frontwoman Maria Brink's beguiling vocals, which swirl around guitarist Chris Howorth's heavier-than-granite riffing. "Mother" follows 2017's beloved "Ritual." Excitement for this record burns at a fevered pitch, as In This Moment landed on several "Most Anticipated" lists, including Alternative Press, Loudwire, and Revolver.
