SPIRITBOX drop new official music video and sell out vinyl variants overnight

Speaking on the release of the new track, frontwoman & this week’s Kerrang! cover star Courtney LaPlante shared, “I think this is the most scared I’ve been to put out a song, because I realise as we continue to release music in single format, listeners can start to assume what kind of band we are, and are alarmed when we do not meet those assumptions. I want to continue to showcase the fluidity that is inherent in heavy music, and even though this is just one part of a full body of work that may not sound exactly like this song, it is a song that we love and are obsessed with. I celebrate variation. ‘Secret Garden’ is exciting to me, for this reason. I’m scared but excited, like I’m about to hit the big drop on a roller coaster, and I’m fully embracing that.”  

 

Spiritbox, one of the hottest new bands in heavy music, thrilled fans this week with the official announcement of their highly anticipated debut album, ‘Eternal Blue’, which is set for release on Friday, September 17th, 2021with pre-orders available now here. The band sold out of all limited vinyl variant pre-orders within the first 24 hours of announcement and on-sale, including exclusive designs for Revolver, Rock Sound, Impericon, and Newbury Comics, plus another 4 colour variants available via the band’s webstore.

‘Secret Garden’ follows previously released single ‘Circle With Me‘ which charted on Billboard at #1 Hard Rock Digital Song Sales and has already clocked up 4.3 million streams to date. 

 

Prior to ‘Circle With Me’ the band released two break-out, hit singles last year – the heart-breaking and otherworldly ‘Constance‘ and the unrelentingly brutal ‘Holy Roller‘ which debuted at #25 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs and charted as the #1 song of 2020 on SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal.

 

The band released ‘Constance Reimagined‘ this past weekend, in conjunction with The Grammy Museum COLLECTION:live #spotlightsaturdays in partnership with BMG. The band performed an incredible acoustic rendition of the song featuring a string quartet and filmed in a church. Watch the interview and the full performance here.

Named after a device some believe is capable of communicating with the dead, there’s a sense of the paranormal running through all that Spiritbox do, but this is a group of artists who are very much brimming with life and creating something remarkable with their music. 

 

Characterised by fierce intensity, unwavering emotion, and technical splendour, their debut full length album ‘Eternal Blue’ is destined to latch onto the hearts and minds of those who hear it. It is that connection between fan and artist that drives Courtney, Mike, and Bill in all that they do as the Spiritbox phenomenon continues to grow bigger and bigger. The album also features a special guest appearance from Architects frontman, Sam Carter, on the track ‘Yellowjacket’.

 

Having toured the world many times over with their previous bands – metal outfit iwrestledabearonce (Courtney and Mike) and pop punk band Living With Lions (Bill) – Spiritbox absorbed the highs and lows of living as working musicians and decided to try a different and more sustainable approach when it came to releasing their music. In doing so they quickly garnered a cult-like online following which has led to over 75 million streams across all platforms and sell outs on every physical release and most merch items they’ve released to date. Towards the end of 2020 they announced that they had signed with world renowned label, Rise Records in partnership with Pale Chord. 

 

The band are scheduled to perform at a number of major festivals across Europe and the US this year, including:

 

Aug 28th – Reading Festival, UK

Aug 29th – Leeds Festival, UK

Sep 9th – Blue Ridge Rock Festival, Danville, VA

Sep 25th – Louder Than Life Festival, Louisville, KY

Oct 26 – 29th – Coheed & Cambria S.S. Neverender Cruise, Miami to Bahamas 

Nov 11th – Welcome To Rockville Festival, Daytona Beach, FL
