The Moment Spirit

The Moment Spirit is an American melodic death metal/metalcore/gothic metal/glam metal band, which its main hometown is being Sandusky, Ohio. It was founded in December of 2009 by the two main members, Krista Ulrich and Tim Tsukuda. This band is the main protagonists, due to that they are the main heroes of the self-titled franchise and TV series.





Founded
The Moment Spirit was founded in December 9, 2009 by Krista Ulrich and Tim Tsukuda. It didn't work out, because Tim and Nick had the wrong guitar roles in the beginnings, but after that happened, Krista fixed it. Before the band has started, Krista was formerly in her four other bands. She was with Lop for the two bands she played over. Sid also plays with Tim's two bands formerly, before the start of the Moment Spirit. Reeves Strong manager and members are the main antagonists.

Band's Name Inspiration
The name "The Moment Spirit" is being founded from the 1980s ghost story, when seven musicians have died of horrifying spirits, which is also that ghost story title. Interestingly, the seven that have been killed have the same personalities as the band members. Although, that is how the band become a melodic death metal/metalcore/glam metal genre.

Band Inspirations from Other Bands
The Moment Spirit is also inspired by several heavy-metal and hard rock bands. They are: Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slipknot, Motley Crue, Kiss, Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down, Mastodon, Twisted Sister, Poison, As I Lay Dying, Linkin Park, Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, Every Time I Die, In Flames, Darkest Hour, Amon Amarth, At The Gates, Children Of Bodom, Arch Enemy, Dethklok, The Agonist, Warrant, Guns N Roses, Ratt, Bon Jovi, Machine Head, Lacuna Coil, Judas Priest, DragonForce,Evanescence, Flyleaf, Skillet, Five Finger Death Punch, Bullet for My Valentine, The Black Dahlia Murder, Drowning Pool, and more.

Parents' Divorces
It is revealed that all members had their parents divorced two years and six days before they released their 2016 album. Krista Ulrich's parents were divorced when she was a child, after her mother had a boyfriend. Tim Tsukuda's parents were divorced, because of his mother being a single mother. Alexa Upton's parents were divorced when they had arguments. The rest of the members had their parents divorced after Krista's breakdown for her album and projects, especially when Riley Tomnumber's father moved to California, and Charlene Henry's father having affair.

Nick's Final Days
On May 18, 2016, it got announced that Nick Miller was actually leaving the Moment Spirit on June 8, 2016. He moves on to a new band that it has been in his dream. That made Tim Tsukuda and Alexa Upton to be both lead and rhythm guitarists.

Hometown
All the members were born from April 23 to 25 in 1997 in Saginaw, Michigan (band's secondary hometown). Krista's hometowns with her family was Bay City, before she starts first grade, but moved to St. Clair Township when she was six. On Krista's sixteenth birthday, she and her dad moved to St. Clair, where she has her step-mom, which the members do not best fit in. Six months after the members' parents' divorces are complete, Krista moves to Utica, where members best fit in. Now, the Moment Spirit is best that Krista choose the primary or seasonal hometown that best fits to Sandusky, Ohio, so that way they won't go to wrong amusement parks (like happens when Jennifer's former band automatically go there).

The Moment Spirit goes to Saginaw, Michigan during off-season, and they go to Sandusky, Ohio from third Sunday of April to last Sunday of October.

Sense of Humors
The Moment Spirit kept doing funny things too much. That is because they kept laughing a lot, and watching funny videos to someone else. There are bunch of funny videos that this band ended up on, especially with slapsticks.

On Season One, the pranks are introduced for the first time.

Krista will have a chance to be on "Ridiculousness", because of simularities in between the members.

Clothing
The Moment Spirit gets the dress code to their personal EVERYDAY. That is because it is embarrassed that their boss will not find out how that happens. Their clothings appear over their casual, formal, athletic, sleepwear, swimwear, and outerwear. The Moment Spirit will dress up all black, and have thin black eye shadows (thicker if founders and latest member), black lipstick, black hair, and black outfits. The members wear rainbow colors without wearing make-up while they are at school, but not at the concert for this kind (just the black ones).

Albums
The Moment Spirit only has one album during the year of 2019. The first eight years by the year after its band's formation to attempt to release "Blood", result their failures, due to unexpected moments, such as bad timings at Cedar Point, family chaos, etc.

Blood (2019)
As soon as Krista Ulrich and Tim Tsukuda are the founders of this band, the band worked on five albums for 2010, but Jennifer thinks it is way too much to work on, so they decide to announce their first studio album to be "Blood". As on The Moment Spirit: Transformation of Metal, the band introduced the album to work on.


 * The tracks are edited for 2011, but the year failed, because of something went wrong happening.


 * Also, they edited tracks for 2012, but the same thing happened again.


 * They edited the tracks for 2013, but tragedy is going around, so the band adds three tracks during the summer, and add one after summer.


 * 2014 was messed up, because of death of John Fuller (May 14), Krista's family breakdown for her projects (May 31), her parents' divorce challenge (June 6), and problems in their hometown (June 7, see below to Trivia).

"Blood" will be released in May 25, 2019. It is also the only album that is not labeled with Lockwood 101 Records during 2010s, but instead it's Victory Records.
 * 2015 had the early request failure from late 2014, and also going to Cedar Point on unexpected days. It will officially ruin The Moment Spirit: Transformation of Metal, and thanks a lot to the mess-up trips of that year. (See below to Trivia for power outage issues).
 * The band extended couple years after 2015 for 2016 and 2017 seasons so they can have more time to finish where they have left off. It's because there was a death at Cedar Point, and that is straight in the band's hometown.
 * 2018 is another year to be skipped after 2016 season. Because Cedar Point announced the closure of a hit roller coaster of the band, Mean Streak, which the boss stresses about, and no announcement for that other roller coaster comes in yet until next year after the announcement, so the band can't release their album in 2018 for good.

This album is also playable on Guitar Hero 5.

Nauseous (2020)
Because Blood releases in 2019, Nauseous will be released as a first album in early 2020. The band also expected to release another album in the same year.

This album is also playable on Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock.

Today is Tomorrow (2020)
Today is Tomorrow will release in the same year as Nauseous, but in few months.

This album is also playable on Band Hero.

Death Trap (2021)
Death Trap will be annouced after Fall of 2021.

This album is also playable on Guitar Hero World Tour

It is also an explicit album, because the lyrics of most of their songs has strong languages, and there is a song about devil.

Black Falling Hope (2022)

Rest of Hands in Peace (2023)

The House
The Moment Spirit's house is a two-story home with a basement. The address of the house is 1417 Third Street.

Arrest, Jail, and Mysterious Death
In the Season Two episode, "The Roland Fluctuation", the Moment Spirit members (all seven members) were arrested and sent to jail with a fine of $7000, but they died later, so every Moment Spirit fans are unrelaxed crying. Police must understand that Tim's father will fire them after they arrested the Moment Spirit members and sending them to jail. After Krista says "What a nightmare", which makes one of the Moment Spirit helpers say that "Roland, Oklahoma is evil", because of the band's arrest and jail. Jo Pennington also helped the Moment Spirit members out and bringing their life back after the police released them from jail. The $7000 were not returned, so their boss quarters up the money increase so that way they can get their money back, until the reach of $7000. The jail the Moment Spirit members went to is the one that Darkest Hour, their favorite band went.

Cedar Point
The Moment Spirit is the most common band at Cedar Point, due to their hometown. They go each times when they're on the field trips when Krista feels like to. Especially on the film, they go most often than any other else. This band live near Cedar Point.

Krista's Fall on a Roller Coaster Ride
At 4:00pm on June 30, 2014, while the Moment Spirit is on their redeemed hometown trip, Krista fell in the front seat of the gold train on the Mean Streak. If Tim was present, he would've been knocked down to his head by her.
