It’s impossible to overstate the influence that Quicksand have on the hardcore scene. Formed in New York City in 1990

In This Moment have announced their ninth studio album, “Witch,” arriving August 28 as their debut release for Better Noise Music. The 11-track record is led by new single “Crawl” and features a genuinely unexpected guest list — Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, and, most strikingly, tattoo artist and musician Kat Von D fronting a full cover of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall.”

‘Crawl’ Sets The Tone

The lead single hits with the band’s signature combination of a crushing riff and Maria Brink’s seismic vocal range. Brink described the song as a reckoning: “‘Crawl’ is a reflection that those who dominate and cause pain will ultimately reap what they sow. As above, so below. The fall is inevitable.” Co-founding guitarist Chris Howorth framed it in broader terms, calling it a song about “powerful entities dominating and abusing the weaker and compromised masses” — and, at its core, about fighting back rather than staying silent.

The Guest List Isn’t Random

Pairing with Kat Von D for a Pink Floyd cover might look like a stunt on paper, but it fits a pattern In This Moment has already established. Their 2023 album “Godmode” featured a cover of Björk’s “Army Of Me” and a collaboration with Ice Nine Kills’ Spencer Charnas, plus a placement on the “John Wick: Chapter 4” soundtrack — the band has made a habit of pulling in unexpected collaborators and reworking songs well outside metal’s usual reference points. “Witch” continues that instinct at a bigger scale: Dayseeker joins on “I Want To Believe,” and Kim Dracula features on “Heretic.”

What ‘Witch’ Is Actually About

Brink has been explicit about the album’s meaning: “Witch is my declaration of inner transformation. It’s about embracing the duality within — taking pain, persecution, and struggle — and alchemizing them into strength and power.” That framing carries extra weight given the band’s own origin story — when Howorth and Brink first met at an audition in 2004, Howorth initially rejected her from the band because she was a woman, before eventually changing course. Two decades later, Brink fronts a band built entirely around her stage presence, with over 2 billion career streams and a platinum-certified catalog to show for it. An album about reclaiming power, from an artist who had to fight for her place in the room from day one, tracks.

Bloodstock Bound: Stitched

As Bloodstock gets closer, we delve deep into the line up to find out more about some of the bands playing the New Blood and EMP stages at this years event.

Today we chat with Stitched

Please introduce yourselves.

We’re STITCHED, a groove hardcore band from the Black Country. We’re a bunch of mates that somehow turned making angry noise into getting invited to places like Bloodstock.

How would you describe your sound?

It’s heavy, groove-driven hardcore with a bit of metalcore, disco and slam thrown in. We grew up on old Slipknot and all that sort of stuff, so it all ends up in the mix somewhere.

How did you land your spot on the Bloodstock bill?

We just say yes to everything. We’ll talk to anyone and play anywhere, and every now and then it leads to something really cool like this.

What does playing at Bloodstock mean to you?

It’s massive for us. Bloodstock’s local, we’ve been coming here for years with our mates watching bands, and now we’re getting to play it ourselves. It’s pretty surreal.

For people who’ve never seen you live, what can they expect at Bloodstock?

A lot of energy, a lot of noise, and hopefully you’ll hear something you like. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we definitely take playing live seriously.

What day are you performing?

Sunday, on the EMP Stage. Come watch us have a dance and punch your mates in the pit

What other bands are you looking forward to watching at Bloodstock this year?

We’re buzzing to be on the same day as Graphic Nature. Those guys are great, so we’re looking forward to catching their set.

Playing the EMP Stage is just the first steppingstone in a bands journey. What’s next in your plans for world domination?

We’re just happy ticking places off as we go. Whether it’s a tiny venue in the middle of nowhere or a country in Europe we definitely didn’t learn about at school, we’re up for it.

Are you camping with the fans? Which campsite are you heading for?

Absolutely. If you see us wandering about, come and say hello. We’re always up for a chat.

You’ve gotta keep hydrated at Bloodstock, what is your drink of choice for the weekend?

A good IPA. Probably more than one.

See you at Bloodstock in a few weeks!

See you there. Come and catch us on the EMP Stage on Sunday.

Eric Jerardi has announced the release of his new studio album, The Game, which arrives October 30 via Alternator Records/Niche Records with distribution through Sony/The Orchard.

The album’s lead single, “Setting Sun,” is now released with additional singles scheduled every five weeks leading up to the album’s release.

The Game reunites Jerardi with producer Michael James, who previously mixed Jerardi’s 2019 album Occupied. James’ production credits include Robben Ford, Edwin McCain, New Radicals and Sammy Hagar. The album also features the return of Muscle Shoals backing vocalists Cindy and Marie, along with contributions from James and film composer Eric Colvin.

The songs on The Game were born from an unusual songwriting challenge. A close musical friend challenged Jerardi to write 12 songs in 12 weeks, sending him a new phrase every Wednesday that had to be used verbatim in that week’s song. Missing a deadline resulted in a fine, while repeated misses meant elimination from the challenge.

The process led to some of the album’s most personal material. “One More Setting Sun” was inspired by the death of Jerardi’s best friend from pancreatic cancer, while “Hard Being Here” reflects on the loss of his brother in 1988. “A Man Ain’t a Man” was written following the death of his father. Other tracks pushed Jerardi into new creative territory, including writing from fictional perspectives and exploring more introspective themes.

“I’ve always written pretty autobiographically,” Jerardi says. “This process forced me out of my habits. Some songs came from grief. Some came from mistakes I’ve made. Some came from characters I never expected to write. The point wasn’t to make everything perfect. The point was to tell the truth before I could talk myself out of it.”

Jerardi has released 10 nationally distributed albums since 1997. His previous release, Occupied, was produced by David Z and recorded with the Muscle Shoals rhythm section.

Outside of music, Jerardi owns Jerardi’s Little Store in Dayton, Ohio, where fans visit to purchase merchandise and wines from his curated collection. He also hosts the YouTube series Backroom Blues & Bottles, featuring stripped-down performances recorded in the store.

UK southern rock band Wood Burnt Red will release its debut album, Hold On Tight, on Sept. 4. Produced by Tyler Spicer, the 11-track record will be available on CD, vinyl and digital formats.

The band has also released its latest single, “Fire Me Up,” giving fans another preview of the upcoming album. The track arrived on July 17 alongside an official music video and marks the band’s first co-write with Spicer.

Hold On Tight blends country influences with rock and roll while exploring themes of love, loss, resilience and personal growth across its 11 original songs.

“Fire Me Up” follows the release of the band’s previous single, “Simple Place,” and showcases driving guitar riffs, an anthemic chorus and frontman Tom Franklin’s baritone vocals. The song grew out of the band’s first songwriting collaboration with Spicer, who also produced the album.

“We can’t wait for this track to come out,” says Wood Burnt Red frontman Tom Franklin. “It’s the first song we co-wrote with our incredible producer Tyler Spicer. This collaboration felt like something special from day one. Fire Me Up is a big, heartfelt message to everyone who ever told us we were wasting our time chasing an unrealistic dream. Tyler brought us this idea he had written with us in mind. We instantly loved it, rocked it up, and everything fell into place. The melody and lyrics came naturally. It was one of the easiest songs we have recorded, and we genuinely think it is one of the best.”
