IN THIS MOMENT have returned with "Sleeping With The Enemy," their debut release through new label Better Noise Music and a first taste of their untitled ninth studio album. The single follows "Heretic" — which featured KIM DRACULA — as the second preview of the forthcoming record.
Vocalist Maria Brink, who has spent the past two decades building IN THIS MOMENT into one of the most theatrical and visually arresting acts in alternative metal, was direct about the track's emotional core: "We're confronting the darkness — whether it's inside us or external. It's about looking that darkness in the face and transforming it into empowerment."
It is a theme that has run through IN THIS MOMENT's catalogue since their earliest work, but the move to Better Noise Music — a label known for breaking heavy artists with crossover appeal — suggests the band is entering a phase with significant commercial ambitions to match their artistic vision.
The current lineup — Brink (vocals), co-founder Chris Howorth (guitar), Travis Johnson (bass), Randy Weitzel (guitar), and Kent Diimmel (drums) — has accumulated over two billion career streams and achieved platinum and gold certifications across multiple releases, placing them firmly among the most commercially successful acts in modern heavy music.
"Sleeping With The Enemy" arrives as IN THIS MOMENT also prepare for the 2026 Taste Of Chaos co-headline tour with HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD, adding a major touring dimension to what is shaping up to be a significant relaunch year for one of metal's most distinctive visual and sonic identities.
The ninth studio album title and release date remain to be announced.
