## Summary

Grammy-nominated metal band In This Moment have announced their ninth studio album, Witch, and released its lead single, Crawl, alongside a music video. The song is framed as a pointed statement against abusers of power, marking the California band's latest musical comeback and giving fans their first taste of new material ahead of the album's release.

Singer Maria Brink described the track's lyrics as "a reckoning" reflecting that "those who dominate and cause pain will ultimately reap what they sow", adding that "the fall is inevitable" for those who once held power over others. Guitarist Chris Howorth called Crawl "a visceral track" addressing the recurring pattern of powerful figures abusing weaker, compromised people throughout human history. The single was released on 17 July, with further details on Witch expected to follow.
