Music reviews of Beautiful Tragedy
Music Review: Brutal yet Beautiful Debut from ITM
Rating: 5 Stars
In This Moment's 2007 debut album "Beautiful Tragedy" from Century Media is an awesome, solid, hard hitting debut from this Los Angeles, California metal quintet that's brutal yet beautiful at the same time. I bought this album at Best Buy last year, and I really liked it. What I heard was a female fronted metal band that combined the beautiful melodies of Lacuna Coil (one of my favorite female fronted metal bands), and the metallic hardcore aggressions of Killswitch Engage, and ITM combine those in one promising package, I mean one minute this album will brutally pummel you to the ground, and the next minute it'll soothe your mind with it's powerful yet beautiful, melodic side. Frontwoman Maria Brink is a very energetic and beautiful lead singer whose vocals can go from harsh, larynx-shredding screams, to beautifully, angelic, clean singing vocals, while guitarists Chris Howorth and Blake Bunzel shred away with surging, sinewy riffs and some nice, fast, blazing solos especially on "Next Life" and Daddy's Falling Angel". Bassist Jesse Landry rides through the album with strong basslines, while drummer Jeff Fabb hammers fiercely behind the drums with tight, pummeling beats and wicked double bass patterns. As far as the songs go, here's a look at some of the highlights. "Prayers" is a great heavy yet melodic headbanger (and one of the best songs on here) that quickly grabs the listener by the throat with it's opening shredding riff, and the song also features some nice pounding drumwork including some catchy blast beat parts, pummeling guitars, as well as excellent screaming/singing from Maria especially in the chorus. Next, we have the title track which is a nice melodic rocker that features beautifully executed melodic vocals from Maria, while track five "Daddy's Falling Angel" is highlighted by fast, thunderous drumwork, brutal, thrash induced riffs, wicked, energetic screams, and a very tasty, fast solo along with some catchy harmony lines, as well as a pummeling breakdown. Track seven "This Moment" features some nice, uplifting acoustic parts as well as some great, catchy melodic riffing, and splendid singing from Maria. The eight track "Next Life" is my personal favorite song on here mainly because it features wicked, hammering double bass drumming, wicked throat shredding screams, mad thrashing riffs, and there's an awesome blazing solo around the 2:11 mark, which is definately one of the best guitar solos on this album. "Circles" is another one of my favorites which features fast chugging riffage, dreamy melodic lines, punishing blast beat parts, and another stunning solo around the 2:16 mark, as well as a great melodic sung chorus, and of course, we have the peaceful and dreamy album closer "When the Storm Subsides" which features peaceful acoustic guitars, and very dreamy, angelic vocals from Maria to boot. For the entire song list, please read on.

After listening to this album, I found In This Moment's "Beautiful Tragedy" to be a all around solid metal album from a very promising female fronted metal band that's both brutal and beautiful at the same time. Believe me, I know good rock/metal when I hear it, and this is definately some very good stuff. Highly Recommended!!
