I love that she’s embracing the witchy goddess vibes from ritual and mother.. that’s the strongest persona and she fully embodies the goddess

The fact that she started this band to help put her son through college and got HUGE speaks volumes of Maria brink. LOVE HER.

Why isn't anyone talking about her holding that note!! It is INCREDIBLE. That's on par with operatic. She deserves a lot more recognition as s singer, songwritter, and leading this band for over 20 yrs. They have worked their asses off. They did it the way they wanted. No. Bowing down to the industry.

58 years old always looking into new music to enjoy. the algorithm brought me here... thank you.

The underlying message of the song is to not fall too deeply into the rabbit hole, everything is about finding balance. I had a lot of emotions building within me when I approached the song for the first time and after years of holding it all in I finally got to let it out! Enjoy. - Maria Brink This song came from our time in lockdown. We all had our own personal experiences during the pandemic, and we all saw the social unrest unfolding daily tearing us apart. It was such a crazy time. Our band, like everything else, was stopped in its tracks. During the lockdown I was sending Maria musical ideas I was working on, and this one really resonated with her. She even said, ‘This is gonna be our first single.’ Fast forward a couple years and all the pent-up frustration and angst came pouring out in Maria’s lyrics and performance, creating this crazy visceral song. - Chris Howorth, guitarist.

Lyrics: THE PURGE [Verse 1] Pushing like pudding Like butter, like gold You wanna get the cash, you wanna get the fool You wanna find a fake, you wanna be seen You wanna blame an addict, but you're already a fiend [Pre-Chorus 1] Fuck it, the whole world is gonna see High off fumes, addicted to the feed What's it all for like you don't really know Another on the hook And another Jane Doe You're pushing back and forth and forth and back again And you said that you were free now you're locked in a cage You're pushing lies like your life is on the line You want a reason why, now you're begging for a sign [Chorus] Maybe Maybe we're all fucked Maybe we're all burned Maybe we'll all just purge and yeah Maybe we'll all die Maybe you were right Maybe we're all just parasites (The purge) [Verse 2] You cutting like glass, like needles, like knives You wanna get the girl, you wanna win the fight You wanna be a god, you wanna be a star You wanna blame another and this time you went too far [Pre-Chorus 2] Fuck it, the whole world's gone mad High off smoke, addicted to the fad Why am I here? Like, I don't really know Another in the bag and another Jane Doe You're pushing back and forth and forth and back again And you said that you were free now you're locked in a cage You're pushing lies like your life is on the line You want a reason why, now you're begging for a sign [Chorus] Maybe Maybe we're all fucked Maybe we're all burned Maybe we'll all just purge and yeah Maybe we'll all die Maybe you were right Maybe we're all just parasites [Bridge] I can feel the purge I can feel the purge coming on [Chorus] Maybe Maybe we're all fucked Maybe we're all burned Maybe we'll all just purge and yeah Maybe we'll all die Maybe you were right Maybe we're all just parasites (The purge)

Can we just acknowledge the fact that she screamed for a solid 30 seconds without skipping a beat? Holy shit!

"you push it back and forth and forth and back again" .... so satisfying to sing lol

Can we just appreciate that glorious scream toward the end? Oof. She gives me chills with every song! Love ya guys!

I'd love to see how long she can keep a scream going with one breath. I enjoy how powerful and delicate her voice is able to be. Such a great song.

I saw In This Moment live and it was one of the best performances I’ve seen, very theatrical, and Maria’s vocals were insane. The band is amazing I hope to see them again 🔥

I love her scream at the end,and this is a cool song.Maria Brink should be cast on American Horror Story.She would be cool on there.

I saw them perform this live last night and honestly, their stage presence is so breath taking!!! These guys never fail to amaze me!!!!!!

She's so powerful!! Listen carefully precious children of EARTH!!!

OMG... did anyone else get the major chills during that scream? this song is awesome!!!

Maria brink is next level.... for me no one compares,

Reminder: Maria Brink is 45. And she is still fucking slaying.

Ok can we all just appreciate that Maria's growl developing in this way sounds so sick???

"Maria Brink" what a perfect name for an angel.

Not enough people are giving this goddess. Her props for that scream that has to be in the Guinness book. Of war records for longest ever scream❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Maria is truly an artist. I love her music and it keeps getting better and better! I almost had a chance to see her in Nola but sadly the concert got cancelled. In this moment is definitely my favorite band of all time and this is why! She is a musical genius!

3:18 That scream gives me chills!🔥

God just when I didn't think I could love this woman any more. Absolute Queen!!!

Their stage performance is UNREAL. They opened with this track on the Dark Horizons tour this summer. I had the honor and privilage of seeing it twice, at both the opening AND closing nights of the tour. Each pulverized my skull equally. Maria and the entire band and crew are truly artists and performers of the highest caliber. Thank you, In This Moment for the unbelievable memories 🖤🖤🖤

My body was in significant lack of serotonin but this is just overboost now. Thanks that your art exists, In This Moment

I'm screaming, crying, and shitting! I'm so fuckin excited!

Her unique voice is just awesome.

wish they would tour the UK. Been listening ever since Beautiful tragedy was released

Maria is a badass. Her voice is epic and i'll never get tired of hearing her.

Found this while listening to the song “Dupe - Skeni Shans” 🥵👍

the fact that i need myself a ghost + in this moment collab, is too strong the desire in my heart. OMG

Songs Like this are prepering you For the Last One Standing in each of our lives.. Come what ever May.

Любимая Мария и её команда замечательные! Каждый ваш альбом прекрасен.

I haven’t heard her scream like that or even for that long since her Beautiful Tragedy or Star Crossed Wasteland albums. Her creativity and her energy in her albums leading to this leading single is amazing and you can feel it. I’m SO excited for what is to come!! #bloodlegion

My husband and I finally got to see them in concert last month and it was incredible. They are just as good live as they are on their albums. If you ever have a chance to see them live, DO IT! They're so beatifically talented

Like seriously, HOW? That was like, thirty seconds. I caught a snippet of an interview (Octane, can’t remember the host) with Maria Brink. She said that that is the longest scream of her career thus far (duh). She said that it made her really dizzy, and that she almost passed out. I think it was with Caity Babs. The interview.

The fact she can hold those screams as long as she does. Absolute goddess here and I'd give anything for just a pinch of her talent and good looks❤❤❤❤

I read in an interview I found online that this song was written due to the pandemic and being locked inside led to a lot of pent up anger and rage, thus, a lot of screams and the long growl. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I have had the song stuck in my head since it dropped 2 days ago. I can't wait for the album to be released! 🖤

That primal scream hit different I’m in love with this new album already :)

I’ve seen them in concert 4 times and they continue to impress me with every performance!!!

Let’s do this!!!! This gave me chills, your concerts give me chills, you guys are remarkably epic❤️‍🔥✨💯

This is fantastic. The music, the lighting, the costumes. Everything is beautiful, just like the group. 🤘🤘

First time I heard this was live. Maria’s live show is amazing to watch. It’s like watching the video in person.

Just saw them for the second time this past weekend and my god they NEVER DISAPOINT! Their performance is so theatrical and you can tell they put so much time and energy into every detail of their stage show. Maria is the queen

This song and music video hit SO different. I absolutely love ITM’s other albums, but this one is going to be another level. I’m beyond excited and proud of them. The mixing is great as well, I love when they center around Maria but when Randy, Chris, Travis, and Kent are all doing something that can still be heard. LOVE IT!

Me itching for another ITM song to be obsessed with. They never disappoint

I honestly cant get over the chorus it draws me back since it dropped i caught this one early for once i needed a new blessing

This is probably one of their most banging songs. I’ve seen em a few times in concert and wow! Would love to see em do this live.

That scream she let out was cataclysmic, she's had plenty of great ones but this one felt peak

This just made my year. So happy to see a new album coming. That primal and brutal scream has gone next level and she looks as beautiful and deadly as ever. The goddess has returned.🤘🏻

And this is how the FINAL BOSS looks like.... Mother Maria

Saw her live before Corona and yeah... one of the few ladies I adore. And I totally love the song, the sounds are exactly my taste...❤❤❤

I discovered In This Moment earlier this year and her music has been medicine for my soul. You have to walk through the darkness to reach the light, her music is a big part of my light. When I feel like giving up, her music recharges my energy and inner strength. 💛;

I heard her sing this live just a few days ago!! Amazing!! Her voice gives me chills!!

So good and I'm always amazed how good she looks for being close to 50.

I love her voice

One of the few groups in my old age of 51. That I'm still happy when I hear new music is on the way.

That "To be continued..." After such an epic track... I'm so excited for what's to come

She is unbelievable live!!!

Believe it or not Maria brings all of this the stage in concerts, it’s insane and amazing! One of the best concerts ever, you get pin on music, a incredible show and a hella fun time!!

The song and the music video are an absolute visual masterpiece, if this music video doesn't win some kind of award there's something wrong with the world, Well done the whole band!

Can’t wait!! I absolutely adore every bit of music this band puts out!

If she came out in 99-2000 she would have been 10x more popular, but this generation isn't into scary metal like us hot topic kids were.

that scream........soul shatters me.

This is not about the music only! The lyrics The sounds The visuals The aesthetics! They give us eras!! This is a new era!!!! Loved it!!!! Proud to be part of the blood legion!🔥

The true Goddess of rock....Maria Brink 🥰

Just saw them last night in Ft. Wayne 🥰 Loved them since they came out. They need BIGGER venues.... Maria can't possibly perform her full talent without a stadium. THEY STILL ROCKED IT.... KEEP US IN THIS MOMENT FOREVER!!!!!!!

Many will pass out from trying to scream that out

That primal scream breakdown tho....wow

If you asked me in 2007 there's not even the slightest remote chance I could have imagined the direction this band would evolve into. This is just completely nuts.

Every time she screams, I get goosebumps. Maria is absolutely amazing in every song.

I saw them live the other day with this as the opening song.. I was floored with just how powerful her voice and this song is live

SOOOOO Hyped!!! 😍ITM Has been my FAVORITE Band since 2008! 😍I love everything that you guys have Released! 🥰 &!! I am so excited to hear "The Purge" 😁💃😍

Amazing visuals and great range in her vocals, that scream at the end is epic, looking forward to more

Her scream gives me chills omg I love her voice

Pure Art!!!

The drums finally sound present! YES! AND MARIA never CEASES TO AMAZE ME.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I'd leave my husband for Maria in a heartbeat (and he knows it, lol). Her music gives me chills and actually brings tears to my eyes because it's so fucking deep and perfect it makes me emotional. She's my Goddess, hands down.

Her scream gets me everytime so wonderful

I want an alarm clock with her voice

This is incredible. If rest of album is like this may be the best one yet.

screaming in 26 seconds is something incredible

Love this song.

How far this band and Maria have come since I first saw them in concert back in like 2009 is insane. Ive been a fan through all of the evolutions and she is in fact a goddess. Cannot wait to see them for the 5th time next month. Blessed be. 🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘

Breaks down hard and love the edginess in Maria's voice... her screams are the most hard-core she has done yet! Love it! Can't wait to seem them this winter!!!!🤘

Before I saw this video and heard this song, I didn't know how much I needed this. All work of ITM is a creative masterpiece. A true work of art. And this song and video a no exception. ❤ I pre-ordered the new album right away!

Their videos remind me of the videos back in the eighties. People did it because they enjoyed it and did whatever they wanted. Very nice to see that again

Chills every time

WE CANT WAIT!!!! EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Maaan! If this is the lead single for their next project, I AM SO READY FOR THE NEW ALBUM! It's gonna be killer!!! I feel like they've been telling us a story since Ritual and I love it

Damn she still killing it . turn it up… wow

"When the ears of the student are ready to hear, cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom."

Just seen them live in Moline with Motionless in White last night. OMG their live show is phenomenal with lights, smoke, props, dancers, and the while 9. Was like watching this music video in person. Absolute visionaries.

You guys need to make a movie! Your videos are amazing

I can't turn this one up loud enough, lol

seeing this preformed live last month was so amazing

My wife passes on that the make-up artist did a KILLER job. Everyone did amazing--and it's such a large list of contributors compared to some of the other music videos. Amazing. :)

Majestic.

Maria has the BEST scream and growl

I love thier originality of sound in thier music...love Maria ❤❤ bad ass music...
