🤘 Patch History Friday: Spiritbox
If you want to know where modern metal is headed, look no further than Spiritbox. This Canadian band has exploded onto the scene, blending crushing heaviness with ethereal beauty—and their patches are already becoming must-haves for anyone who cares about metal’s future.
The Story
Spiritbox formed in 2017 when vocalist Courtney LaPlante and guitarist Mike Stringer left iwrestledabearonce to create something new. What emerged was a sound that defies easy categorization: djent-influenced riffing, atmospheric electronics, and Courtney’s ability to shift from angelic cleans to devastating screams.
Their breakthrough came with “Holy Roller” in 2020, a track that went viral and put them on the map. But it was their self-titled debut album Eternal Blue (2021) that cemented their status as one of metal’s most exciting new acts. Songs like “Circle with Me” and “Constance” showcased a band that could be brutal and beautiful, often within the same song.
What makes Spiritbox special is their refusal to stick to one lane. They pull from metalcore, progressive metal, post-metal, and even pop influences, creating a sound that feels both modern and timeless. Courtney’s vocal range is the centerpiece, but the entire band operates at an elite technical level.
