Even on a Sunday night in January, Atlantic City was still hopping with the sounds of gamblers throwing their cash away at slots and tables in hopes of scoring that one big, final win. And the fact that The Music As A Weapon Tour was about to blow through the House of Blues only added to the chaos of a night that being in "America's Playground" could bring.
Disturbed had been heading the tour since the band first created the concept in 2001. Since then, they have shared the stage with several all-star acts such as Chevelle, Stone Sour, and Killswitch Engage. This year, in order to promote their newest album "Asylum", Disturbed has brought on Korn as a co-headliner as well as heavy metal giants Sevendust and In This Moment. The union of Disturbed and Korn has been much anticipated for years, and now fans across the globe will finally get what they've been begging for.
Playing to a packed house, In This Moment opened up the night with a half hour set consisting of songs off their newest album, "A Star-Crossed Wasteland". Having just finished a tour with Nonpoint, this female fronted hardcore group had the crowd going wild with passionate screams and heavy riffs. If that wasn't enough to get everyone's attention, the fog machines, devil's horns, and skill covered mic stand definitely would.
