IN THIS MOMENT's CHRIS HOWORTH On Touring With OZZY OSBOURNE Nearly 20 Years Ago: 'It Was Unbelievable'
 In a new interview with Radioactive MikeZ, host of the 96.7 KCAL-FM program "Wired In The Empire", IN THIS MOMENT guitarist Chris Howorth spoke about legendary BLACK SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne who died in July at the age of 76. Chris said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I grew up [listening to Ozzy]. Ozzy was huge for me. And then how we got connected with Ozzy was, our manager was Blasko [Rob Nicholson], who was Ozzy's bass player. Actually, he was Rob Zombie's bass player when he first became our manager, but then he joined Ozzy's band right after that. And he's the one who connected us to [IN THIS MOMENT's longtime producer] Kevin Churko, who at the time was recording Ozzy's 'Black Rain' album. So right when we got with Kevin, he had just finished ['Black Rain']. So we were talking to him a lot. And then we did a couple of singles during that time, one of which was [a cover of BLONDIE's] 'Call Me', and we ended up recording all of the music for that at Ozzy's house up in Hollywood Hills.'
Chris continued: "It was so cool, just to be in [Ozzy's] studio doing it there. Of course, Ozzy, he's so, like, just gregarious, and he just rolls downstairs and [says], 'What are you guys doing?' And he just sat down and started talking to us about all the stuff going on and was bringing up some little stories and stuff, and we were just completely floored. And that happened. And then we got to do the Ozzfest thing, and then we got to do a two-month Ozzy arena tour. It was our first big tour. It was unbelievable to be a witness to all of that."
This past July, IN THIS MOMENT released a new single, "Heretic (Feat. Kim Dracula)". The song marked the first new music to be released from the Grammy Award-nominated Los Angeles band's upcoming as-yet-untitled ninth album and debut for Better Noise Music (exact release date to be announced).
The release of "Heretic (Feat. Kim Dracula)" coincided with IN THIS MOMENT's "Hell Hath No Fury" tour with WARGASM and Kat Von D and THE PRETTY WILD.
Earlier this month, IN THIS MOMENT launched the "Black Mass" tour featuring special guests DAYSEEKER on select dates, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT and DED.
Formed in 2005, IN THIS MOMENT's current lineup includes Howorth, singer Maria Brink, bassist Travis Johnson, guitarist Randy Weitzel and drummer Kent Diimmel.
To date, in addition to the gold-selling album "Blood" (2012),the quintet has garnered six gold and platinum singles, followed by a trifecta of Top 25 entries on the Billboard 200 with "Black Widow" (2014) and "Ritual" (2017). With a total stream tally well past 200 million as of 2020, "Ritual" elevated them to new creative and critical peaks as well. Between selling out headline tours coast to coast, the group performed in arenas everywhere alongside DISTURBED and appeared at countless festivals from Lollapalooza to Sonic Temple. Along the way, they assembled their seventh full-length, the aptly titled "Mother" (Roadrunner Records) with longtime trusted collaborator Kevin Churko (OZZY OSBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH). Whereas "Ritual" hinted at a bluesy sonic sorcery, "Mother" breathes the activating mantra of an unbreakable spell, commenced on first single "The In-Between".
In 2022, the band released "Blood 1983" (BMG),a reimagined EP commemorating the tenth anniversary of "Blood". Then in 2023, the longtime staples of heavy music released their eighth studio album "Godmode" (BMG),a 10-song record featuring the powerful lead single "The Purge", the band's stunning cover of Björk's "Army Of Me", the collaborative track "Damaged" which features Spencer Charnas of ICE NINE KILLS, and "I Would Die For You", which appears on the soundtrack for "John Wick: Chapter 4".
