Blood, the fourth studio outing from Los Angeles, California-based arena metalcore outfit In This Moment, retains much of 2010's A Star-Crossed Wasteland's pop sheen, while adding new electronic elements to the mix. The first album to be recorded sans founding members Blake Bunze and Jeff Fabb, the record is steeped in the brooding, ornate, angst-filled, sonically meticulous craftsmanship that has made the group a festival favorite since its 2007 debut. The collection offers up 14 new tracks, including the blistering first single, "Blood," which was written by vocalist Maria Brink, lead guitarist Chris Howorth, and Juno Award-winning producer Kevin Churko.
