Spiritbox, originating from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, was publicly established in October 2017 by vocalist Courtney LaPlante and guitarist Mike Stringer. Both LaPlante and Stringer were previously members of the metalcore band Iwrestledabearonce but departed to pursue greater artistic freedom, leading to the formation of Spiritbox. The band’s lineup was later completed with the addition of drummer Zev Rose and bassist Josh Gilbert.
The band’s discography includes several releases that have significantly contributed to their rising prominence in the metal scene. Their debut self-titled EP, Spiritbox, was released in 2017, followed by the Singles Collection EP in 2019. In 2021, they unveiled their debut full-length album, Eternal Blue, which debuted at number 13 on the US Billboard 200, marking a notable achievement for the band. Continuing their momentum, Spiritbox released the Rotoscope EP in 2022 and The Fear of Fear EP in 2023. Their second studio album, Tsunami Sea, was released on March 7, 2025.
Spiritbox has garnered attention with several successful singles that have resonated with both fans and critics. “Holy Roller,” released in 2020, became one of their most notable tracks, showcasing their ability to blend aggressive metal elements with melodic undertones. Other significant singles include “Blessed Be,” “Constance,” and “Circle With Me,” each contributing to the band’s reputation for dynamic and emotionally charged music.
Throughout their career, Spiritbox has received several nominations recognizing their impact in the heavy music scene. They were nominated for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the 2022 Juno Awards, and their album Eternal Blue was nominated for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year at the same awards. Additionally, they received a nomination for Best International Breakthrough at the 2022 Kerrang! Awards and were nominated for Best Heavy Record at the 2022 Libera Awards for Eternal Blue.
The band’s appeal within the music industry stems from their innovative fusion of various metal subgenres, including metalcore, progressive metal, and djent, combined with electronic elements. This eclectic approach, coupled with LaPlante’s versatile vocal delivery—ranging from melodic singing to intense screaming—has captivated a diverse audience. Their willingness to experiment and push genre boundaries has solidified their status as a forward-thinking act in modern metal.
Beyond their musical endeavors, Spiritbox has engaged in collaborations that highlight their versatility and willingness to explore different musical landscapes. In 2022, they collaborated with electronic artist Illenium on the track “Shivering,” blending metal and electronic music elements. Additionally, they released the experimental EP Rotoscope in June 2022, showcasing their ability to evolve and adapt their sound.
Spiritbox’s journey from their formation to their current status exemplifies a band that has steadily built a dedicated fanbase through innovative music and strategic use of digital platforms. Their commitment to artistic integrity and evolution continues to resonate with audiences, positioning them as a significant force in the contemporary metal scene.
