Initially conceived as a metalcore counterpart to Evanescence, In This Moment moved into more melodic territory with its fantastical 2008 breakthrough album The Dream. Though capable of throat-scraping screams, vocalist Maria Brink shone brightest on mature and atmospheric material, putting In This Moment in the running as a promising goth rock band. The Los Angeles-based act also widened its exposure by touring with the like-minded Lacuna Coil as well as metal veterans Megadeth and Ozzy Osbourne.

For the uninitiated, an In This Moment concert is part rock show and part high-concept performance art. The visuals are tantalizing, challenging and occasionally confusing—but never dull. The band’s opening track on the night was a percussive and warlike cover of Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle.” Brink took center stage, towering over everyone in a robe and ornate headdress, and flanked by a pair of acolytes in a ritual-like ceremony. The band churned out the riffs as Brink held court, each passing song feeling like its own act in a play. The individual performances were so ornate and detailed that In This Moment fit only about eight songs into its 70 minutes.
