Spiritbox Vinyl Records
Vancouver quartet Spiritbox ply a '90s-influenced brand of melodic alternative metal featuring multiple genre elements, beautiful vocals, and possible paranormal EVP (electronic voice phenomena) field recordings. Echoing acts like TesseracT, Deftones, and Evanescence, their sound -- incorporating elements of metalcore, nu-metal, prog, shoegaze, and djent -- combines crushing heaviness with atmospheric ethereality, while Courtney LaPlante's versatile voice swoops from gorgeous melodicism to tortured screams and shrieks. Spiritbox issued their eponymous debut EP in 2017 to wide acclaim. Their debut album, the chart-topping Eternal Blue, was released in September 2021.
