In This Moment/P.O.D./New Year's Day/Ded

Through the myriad lineup changes, singer Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth are the glue that have kept In This Moment a relevant heavy metal act for the last decade. Brink's fiery vocals and smokin' hot rock star persona are especially vital to the band's success. She screams and croons about whores and angels and being a "Sex Metal Barbie." On 2017's Ritual, the recent iteration of the band even goes all in on the religious theme with mystical chanting and allegoric storytelling. But the real surprise comes when the crew covers Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight," proving they're not just some one-note metal group. (Laura Morrison)
