In This Moment's Maria Brink Says 'Hottest Chicks' Tour Isn't About a Name

While some people may roll their eyes at a tour called 'The Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock,' In This Moment vocalist Maria Brink is quick to point out that the tour's actual full name is 'The Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock: Hell Hath No Fury,' a phrase borrowed from William Shakespeare.

"In This Moment's tour name is Hell Hath No Fury," Brink told Noisecreep. "Since Revolver endorses and presents the tour, we added the 'Hottest Chicks' part on, since that is the [name of their] annual issue. We didn't name the tour, that's part of the Revolver branding! I can understand [how] people might take it the wrong way ... but me, as an individual? I know that we have been around for a long time and worked a long time to get from the bottom to where we are now. We have integrity. We have done so many tours and played for so many crowds. We know who we are."

Brink said that the tour, which In This Moment are headlining, is not about "what I look like or my body type or having big breasts. It's still about the music."

The singer is also quite comfortable being a girl in a male-dominated genre of music. "I express myself as an artist in different ways," she said. "I know I am more on the sexual side in terms of my appearance, which is something that the metal world is not used to. But I am comfortable with it. It's how I express my art, and myself."

I'm glad to see women in metal getting some recognition, but I wish we could leave 'hotness' out of it altogether and just talk about what badass musicians they are. I mean no one would ever ever compose a list of the hottest dudes in metal...because that list would be meaningless and short. Think of the most awesome (male) musicians in metal - how 'hot' are they? More importantly - who cares?

My band is getting to open for this tour on one of the dates, and I am very much stoked. I've been a fan of In This Moment for some time now, and think that it is amazingly stupid of people to discount such a kick ass band because their lead singer has breasts. Maria sings/screams her ass off, and more artists need to take note of the passion she and her band mates put into their albums. I have a feeling I'll be spending a LOT of money on merch that night, haha!
