In This Moment at Chicago Open Air; review and photo gallery

I feel like I've come a long way with In This Moment, from seeing them several years ago for the first time, then last year in Nevada on tour with Five Finger Death Punch. They have certainly grown on me...

So much so, that I couldn't wait to see them take the stage at Chicago Open Air. And they did not disappoint. Opening with Sick Like Me, and also playing Black Widow, Sex Metal Barbie, Whore, and Blood, with drama, story-telling-in-song, and costume changes that the band are known for.

Fronted by Maria Brink and the dancing Blood Girls, guitarists Chris Howarth and Travis Johnson, bassist Randy Weitzel, and now with drummer Kent Diimmell who recently joined the band, In This Moment are theatrical, dramatic, entertaining, and metal. Think Lady Gaga meets Alice Cooper, with a twist of Slipknot. (If you've never seen them, check out the official videos for Sick Like Me and one of my current favourites, the slower but strong The Fighter, on YouTube.)

The pictures tell the wild, outrageous story.
