In This Moment is the bomb dot com. I've been a fan for almost 10 years now. 💜 Here is a little backstory on Black Wedding from Maria herself and how Rob came to be a part of it: "I love “Black Wedding”. It’s one of the more fun, lighthearted, crazy songs on the album. The concept was me in a place of confliction, turning to this oracle to guide me, and where do I turn, what do I do from here? And that this higher power is putting me into a ceremony with myself to empower myself. “Black Wedding” is about taking these dark things I’d experienced and turning that experience into this empowering ceremony where the black wedding is this empowerment of this strong strength in me, this independence in myself. It’s this beautiful black wedding. It’s that strength in the face of loss or heartbreak, or thinking something isn’t going to unfold the way you think. It’s not this happy white wedding. There’s a strength in not getting that happy ending, that fairy tale ending. Instead of letting it break me or me lose myself, to take that experience and grow from it and empower myself from it. We have Rob Halford in this song, which was an honor. We shot a music video for it, and it was really paying a lot of tribute to him. He’s such an amazing guy. When he came to the shoot, he was just humble and sweet. We were so grateful to have him there with us. He had come to a show of ours, we met him, and we became acquaintances, we became friends and have grown a little relationship. So, when we’re doing this album and this song, the lyrics weren’t originally, “Priest, are you there?” but I kept being drawn to this “Priest, are you there?” and kept envisioning this visual. I wasn’t going to have a guest singer on this album, but every time I kept thinking of “Priest” and kept thinking of Rob, it all matched up. I mentioned it to him, and he immediately responded with interest and seemed passionate about being a part of it."
When ITM performed this song live, they brought Ash Costello (from New Years Day) in to do Rob Halford’s parts. I guess NYD and ITM were touring together for a while.
Related to this, you should check out Five Finger Death Punch doing "lift me up" featuring Rob Halford. Rob has some more audible vocals in that song (and he's wearing the same priest outfit)
Lol, for what it's worth, Sir Christopher Lee had his own metal band when he was up in years! Regardless, love In This Moment, love Maria Brinks, Love Rob, great break down of the song!
The "play" on the words in the lyrics of this is masterful...neat twist, neat surprise. (But, when you've got the original "Metal God" helpin you out on a song...nuff said)
I love the throwback nod to Billy Idol's White Wedding in this song such a nice but subtle touch

From the album Mother, In This Moment - We Will Rock You (Queen cover) feat. Lzzy Hale & Taylor Momsen.
Maria Brink is if Rob Zombie and Lady Gaga had a daughter
Like two years ago or close to that she actually toured with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson Was a great show
The accuracy 😂
First! Also a huge fan of In This Moment and ofcourse Judas Priest and yes he is in fact 69 years young.
I hope maria brink makes horror movies some day. She directs all their videos. I feel like she'd kill it.

I’ve been a fan of them for 7 years now and my favorite album is Ritual. You should check it out!

I think 5fdp has a song with Maria Brink. Sick
Maria is always 10/10 on the creative videos
He needs to check out their song The In-between it's definitely on a different level than this lol, it's prolly one of their heaviest songs too
In This Moment - Roots or As Above, So Below 🖤

i love this song!!
Random Fun Fact to teach you stuff: Rollin' by Limp Bizkit was the last music video shot on top of the Twin Towers before the 9/11 attacks.
عالیییی
Nice homage to Billy Idol's " White wedding".
look up Maria Brink on a show called Talking metal singing I'm Broken.
Song from in this moment 2 songs yall will like mother and legacy
Maria Brink
Watch the live video of her doing this with Chris Motionless
I searched Rob Halford. He is 67 in this song.
There's a thing in the end where she's speaking of some biblical verse in a different version
😍😍😍😍
عالی😍😍
He was 66 in this video he's 69 now
nice
And still bringing live. Saw JP last year...pre-covid and still amazing.
Is this Uwe the same Uwe that just passed away?
This wasn't what I expected but parts of it reminds me of earlier Priest.
Does the song remind anyone of the song pattern of White Wedding by Billy Idol?
😍😍😍😍👿👿👿
Sounds a lot like White wedding Billy idol
😍😍😍😍😈👹😈👹
Loved the song but Halford made it
Manowar Batlle hymns live
this song is really underrated 😑 it's painful
