#336: Maria Brink (In This Moment)

In This Moment vocalist Maria Brink is our guest this week. We
discuss the theme behind the band's new album, Mother, how the
death of family members influenced the writing and recording of the
record, the visual aspect of In This Moment's live presentation and
the difficulty of making that work on a budget, how collaborating
with different singers is always exciting for her, the possibility
of doing a video for the band's cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You"
with Lzzy Hale and Taylor Momsen, how the coronavirus is inspiring
her to use technology to reach her fanbase, and the possibility of
the band doing a live streaming performance. Petar, Brandon, and
Sylvia discuss the recent drive-in concert in Denmark and whether
that could work for metal bands, Randy Blythe’s statement that
social distancing efforts would never be successful at a metal
show, Bad Religion's decision to cancel instead of postpone their
touring plans so fans can get ticket refunds, Lars Ulrich's
statement that Metallica could write a new album during this time,
and The Black Dahlia Murder charting on Billboard. Songs: In This
Moment - “The In-Between," “As Above, So Below," Paradise Lost -
