JadedSpiritbox
Hailing from Canada, Spiritbox has won popularity with a sound that pairs beautiful, mysterious melodies with progressive, weighty heaviness.
Their 2023 track “Jaded,” which drew major attention, overflows with an overwhelming sound that grips the listener and never lets go.
You can tell how great the song is from the dramatic, riff-driven intro alone: the unique groove created by the dense distortion and the exquisite harmony woven with vocalist Courtney LaPlante’s soaring voice are key elements of its appeal.
The lyrics are laced with themes of loneliness, self-doubt, and the struggle to find one’s true self, conveying the kind of depthful message that is quintessentially Spiritbox.
Keep an eye on their music as they continue to lead the modern metal scene from the very front.
