In This Moment frontwoman Maria Brink has discussed the importance of visibility for women in the metal scene in a brand new interview. Speaking to Metal Hammer in their latest issue, Brink points to the fact that while we are finally seeing more women on stage at metal shows, ensuring women are also represented behind the scenes in the music industry is a big part of her band's operation.
“I have a female tour manager," she explains. "I have a female merch person. We have women not just onstage, not just my performers and my dancers, but women that work throughout. When you look at the crew members of most of the touring acts in the heavy metal world, you don’t see crews rolling in with all women. To me, it’s so badass and it’s so exciting to keep empowering women and lifting them up, and then you see it more. It’s definitely something I’m passionate about.”
