WHAT THEY SAID
"It would be just me and a piano and one dress and candles all over the whole stage." * That's how Maria Brink described her dream solo show back in 2017 — and now it's actually happening. Speaking with Rock Sound, the In This Moment frontwoman confirmed her first solo project, billed as Maria Brink's COVEN, will land between the band's ninth album and their next one *, ‡.
THE DETAILS
- Brink told Rock Sound's James Wilson-Taylor the solo record slots in between LPs, giving her and guitarist Chris Howorth extra time to sharpen the next In This Moment album *.
- The reveal came backstage at Louder Than Life; Howorth said they're already kicking around ideas for the follow-up despite *Witch* barely being out ‡.
- *Witch* dropped August 28 via Better Noise Music, with Rory Rodriguez, Kim Dracula and Kat Von D on a Pink Floyd cover *, ‡.
- Back in 2017 she pictured tribal drums, no distorted guitars, and the quieter side of her writing *.
- No release date, format or lineup announced †, ‡.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Whether COVEN follows that 2017 blueprint is still unconfirmed — Brink didn't say ‡.
