In This Moment’s landmark album, Blood, was officially RIAA certified gold, as having moved 500,000 units specifically in the United States, as of May 10th, 2017. This accomplishment also marks Century Media Records' first gold record in company history.

Chris Howorth (guitars) states: "Maria and I are grateful beyond words for this wonderful achievement and it's an incredible feeling to know so many people appreciate the music on this album. Right before we went in to create the Blood album two of our original band members and our manager quit on us (they didn't believe) and it left us with a do or die situation. We chose to let go of all fear and make the album we've always wanted. Huge thanks to Robert Kampf and Don Robertson at Century Media, Kevin Churko for never doubting us, Bill McGathy for stepping in at the perfect time, our band members for bringing it to life onstage and our fans for supporting us thru everything! We couldn't have done this without you! Much love!"

Don Robertson (Century Media President) further adds: "When Chris and Maria played us the first two demos for the album, I knew it was going to be the special and ground breaking record that they were determined to make. We are very proud to have the company's first certified gold record to be from our friends in In This Moment. Congrats to them for persevering and bringing the vision to life!"

In This Moment have announced the release of their new album. Ritual arrives everywhere on Friday, July 21st. The band’s sixth studio album will be released by Atlantic Records in partnership with Roadrunner Records and is available for pre-order now.

All pre-orders will be joined by an instant grat download of the album's first single, "Oh Lord”, with additional instant grat downloads becoming available in the weeks leading up to the album's release. Exclusive pre-order bundles, which include custom In This Moment branded rosary beads, are available now at the band's webstore.

"Oh Lord" - which is also available now for streaming and individual purchase - arrives today at Rock radio outlets nationwide. The track is joined by a powerful companion video, streaming below.

Produced by longtime collaborator - and multiple Grammy Award nominee - Kevin Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Ozzy Osbourne), Ritual sees In This Moment pushing their inimitably dark sound forward with a provocative sense of pervading doom and metallic blues power.

Highlights include a dramatic reimagination of Phil Collins' classic "In The Air Tonight" as well as "Black Wedding," a walk down the aisle of musical madness that sees lead singer Maria Brink sharing the mic with legendary Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford.

"It's like we're going into the next realm," says Brink. "I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I've never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it's without overt sexuality. It's that deeper serious fire inside of my heart."

"When fans hear this, I want them to feel the music, whether they take away sadness, anger, or happiness," adds lead guitarist Chris Howorth. "As a kid, I remember listening to records and putting them on repeat over and over again. I'd love for the world to listen and absorb this as a piece of work."

In This Moment will herald Ritual on a major North American tour, beginning June 20th at Peoria, IL's Limelight and featuring support by such like-minded bands as Motionless In White, Vimic, Little Miss Nasty, and Starset. Dates are listed below
