IN THIS MOMENT guitarist Chris Howorth is featured in a new interview with Guitar World discussing the band's new album, Blood. An excerpt is available below:

GW: The new album, Blood, is a lot harder than your previous albums. Did you set out to record it that way?

Howorth: "We didn’t really go into the project with the idea of making an album that was 'harder.' We kept saying, 'Let’s be darker.' That was the phrase Maria kept using. She wouldn’t say things like, 'Let’s have heavier guitars or be different.' She would say she wanted it to be darker or more haunting. We went in with the idea of everything being not happy, and that sort of lent itself to making the album as a whole sound much heavier and meaner."

GW: You also lost a few members of the band prior to recording this album. Did you feel like you had something to prove as well?

Howorth: "Definitely. Right before we really started working on the record, Maria and I had been writing quite a bit. Then we got the call from those guys (Bunzel and Fabb) saying they were leaving. Around that same time, our manager also dropped us. It felt like everyone had kind of given up on us. Everyone was bailing and thought that we were finished. To us though, we weren’t done. We had the fire in our bellies the entire time we were recording this record, just wanting to show everyone what we could do. That wasn’t the whole point of it, but it was definitely a driving force behind us."
