In This Hell is an industrial black metal band from Coburg, Germany, formed in 2024, fusing the mechanical textures and electronic layers of industrial music with the raw hostility of black metal. The band represents one of the newest entries in the German extreme metal landscape.
In This Moment evolved from a metalcore band into one of metal's most visually spectacular acts under the creative direction of vocalist Maria Brink, who founded the band in Los Angeles in 2005. Brink's transformation into a theatrical performer, combining industrial metal, goth aesthetics, and ritualistic stage shows, peaked on albums like 'Blood' and 'Black Widow.' Her commanding presence and willingness to reinvent the band's visual and sonic identity with each album cycle has made In This Moment a singular force in modern metal.
