Band co-founder/guitarist Chris Howorth explains the concept behind The Dream:
“Inside dreams, anything can happen. Things that feel impossible or unreachable in the real world become real. We wanted to make a record you could lie down with, shut off the lights, and experience completely—like a rollercoaster ride with explosive highs, beautiful lows, and everything in between.”
ABOUT THE ALBUM
Originally released in 2008, The Dream marked a defining creative leap for In This Moment. Moving away from the metalcore intensity of their debut, the band embraced a more melodic and cinematic approach—drawing from ’80s-influenced hard rock, modern metal, and emotionally charged atmospheres.
The album unfolds with intention, balancing explosive highs with haunting restraint. Guitars remain powerful yet textured, rhythms groove with confidence, and melody takes center stage. Vocalist Maria Brink leans more heavily into singing, expanding the band’s emotional range while maintaining the intensity that made them stand out.
The 2026 Brutal Planet Records edition presents The Dream in its most immersive vinyl form to date. This pressing is mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell(Arsonist Gets All the Girls, iwrestledabearonce, My Ruin) and includes a masterful 12×12 full-color lyrics insert, packed with artwork and photos that enhance the album’s visual and emotional impact.
Pressed for the first time ever on Blue-Dream Splatter Vinyl, this variant is strictly limited to just 200 copies as a Webstore Exclusive available only from Boone's Overstock, making it a must-have for collectors and longtime fans alike. Previous vinyl editions have long been out of print, further cementing this release as a standout in the band’s catalog and a key piece of modern metal history.
