Within the metal genres itself Spiritbox works with metalcore, post-metal, djent, alternative metal, and progressive metal ingredients, but their music is also deeply influenced by electronica and sections of some of their songs sound like the pop/R&B that dominates the regular pop charts. Spiritbox’s ascent to the big time was the result of a clever campaign of drip-drip release of singles, starting in 2017 with ‘The Beauty of Suffering’, leading to their very heavy sounding breakthrough single ‘Holy Roller’ in 2020, followed by ‘Constance’, and this year ‘Circle With Me’.Įach single showed different aspects of the band’s music, which encompasses an astonishing amount of genres. The album went to No.1 on the US Top Rock & Hard Rock charts, and also had an impact on the mainstream charts, reaching to No.8 in Australia, No.13 in the US and No.17 in Canada. The Canadian band has been called ‘Metal’s Hottest Band’ and ‘The New Face Of Metal Music’, and their debut album, ‘Eternal Blue’, released last September, “a masterpiece of modern heavy music”.
The world of heavy metal has been turned upside down by the arrival of Spiritbox.
