A metal band (this title is debatable) founded by Chris Howorth and Maria Brink in 2005. They released a few albums in the early 2000s (Beautiful Tragedy, The Dream, A Star Crossed Wasteland). After a Star Crossed Wasteland, almost all the band members dropped out and the band was close to disbanding. In This Moment began writing a new album in 2011 and had a new lineup, releasing their 4th album, Blood in 2012, their highest charting album. They are releasing their 5th album, Black Widow, in November 2014.
In This Moment ain't that bad.

A unit of time. Useful in many different circumstances.
Man getting ready for a date: 3 seconds
Woman getting ready for a date: 45 minutes
Time for which it takes your friend to leave the house: 3 minutes
A historical event (a moment in time): depends if it is the sinking of the titanic (hours), impact of fat man (.01 milliseconds)
Interval of time it takes to complete computer repairs in a movie: 2.45 seconds (always followed by the word “there”)
A threat: 16 seconds give or take a few.
Well hell, a unit of time it takes to do anything. All you have to say is “in a moment” and they (friends/family/gun toting villains) have to wait until your done. Except if you get shot cus that would suck, but at least it’ll only take a moment.
You have one moment
I'll be down in a moment
In a moment
Just give me a moment
It was just a moment and it was done
Screw you guys, it was only a moment
