Last year I was super excited because my two favorite bands, Ghost and Mastodon, were touring together! But some band named Spiritbox was the opening act. I wanted to get upfront to see Mastodon & Ghost so I got there early figuring I'll just deal with this opening act I've never heard of. During the Spiritbox set it was like I was having a religious experience... and I'm a lifelong atheist! I started to cry... and I'm a big tough guy who kicks cans and punches the air for fun! I couldn't believe how good they were. How had I never heard of this band??? As Mastodon came out, I was too busy buying Spiritbox's music. I was so distracted after that opening set, I only somewhat remember even noticing Mastodon. When Ghost ended (great show), I stormed out because I NEEDED to hear Spiritbox in my car. As we pushed through the mass of people to get out of the arena, I played Spiritbox on my phone like a jerk, probably annoying everyone around me. Since that night, I'm hooked beyond hooked. It's sad. My wife thinks I'm obsessed with Courtney. Because I am. BUT HER TALENT! Come on, honey! It's not like that!
Saw them for the 3rd time today. Saw them in 2022, then in April 2023 for their headline tour (got vip), and then just now with Papa Roach and Shinedown. They're a top 5 band for me easily. They write music the exact way that I would write it. Could never get tired of them
Not really. Courtney sounds like most any screaming female. There is never any question as to if the sound is coming from her or not, unlike Tatiana, where often times people think it's not her doing the screams. For Spiritbox, the music is great, the singing is above average, but the screams kill it for me.
If you want NO screams from Courtney at all, check out The Void, Sew Me Up, We Live in a Strange World, and Secret Garden. All great Spiritbox songs. (there are other clean songs too, those are just my favorite right now)
This song is incredible, everything is perfect. The intro lulls you in then that riff just gives you that stank face. Then Courtney comes in soothes you in and boom the growl is upon us. It's been on repeat for a while and the ending is amazing as well as I like how she layers the soft vocals.
Saw Spiritbox a few days ago. Courtney and the guys were awesome!! Courtney's vocals were 100% on point. You could have created a live recording it was so good. Really hoping Jacoby or Brent would have come out a little early for collab/mashup, but....maybe another time. \m/
I am so glad you finally done this one! I have been hooked listening to it every day since it came out! The composition of the song is just so brilliant and really helps lift Courtney to the next level!
Loved the reaction alot. Spiritbox is one of my favorite bands of all time and Courtney is a Goddess. They have a new song called Cellar Door and it's extremely heavy, and the breakdown is earth shattering.
The main riff on this song is 🤌🏻 Courtney's one take on this song if she does one is gonna be awesome because you can tell there is a lot of cool vocal stuff on this and she always brings those spicier, heavier parts out on the one takes
Saw Spiritbox Friday night in Tampa! They opened up for Papa Roach and Shinedown. SB were so amazing ❤🤘🏼 (and this was their first song on the setlist!)
What’s great about Spiritbox is they don’t tend to stick to one script - they have some songs that are all clean singing, some that are all screams, some that are half/half like this…you never know what you’re going to get.
@2:53 You finally checked out Melissa Bonny and her band of amazing musicians?! Love Melissa! I saw her with Kamelot last month in Toronto. Her voice is incredible live! You should also check out her side band, The Dark Side of the Moon.
I really like this song, and I keep meaning to dive deeper into them. Also, nice to hear you've got some Ad Infinitum coming up. I adore Melissa Bonny, she seems like a total sweetheart. I believe she finally married her longtime boyfriend Morten Sorensen, the drummer from Amaranthe, and her drummer in her side project, The Dark Side of the Moon.
The oddest part of metal music is the almost inescapable fact that the worse your song smells the better it is. Case and point, your expression at 1:42
Look whenever the chugs come in, you just GOTTA make the stank face. That's one of the signs of a good song. Even in other genres, you could be listening to a rap verse where the bars are going hard and you just gotta make that stank face bc it's NASTY but in a good way.
In This Moment use to be so cool to me when I saw them perform live for the first time at Ozzfest 2006. Man they came out with a lot of bangers but they became more wack to the point where it wasn’t heavy metal for me anymore. Until I discovered Spirit Box, a Canadian band formed in 2017. Holy shit! Courtney LaPlante you can fucking scream! Love it! Keep going heavy and hard. Don’t become a soft heavy metal band like In This Moment. 🔥
amazing track, and great reaction! a band i think you might enjoy is Invent Animate, I'd try Without A Whisper. its a beautiful and brutal song about letting go of the loved ones you've lost and trying to move on through the hurt. could not recommend it enough!
i love Courtney as much as the next dude but like give credit to her husbands guitar work, Joshs bass tone and backing vocals during live performances, and Xevs tight af drum skills
Nice Reaction as always 🥳🥳🥳... Any Given Day just released a new track. Just check it out, its awesome. They are a German Band from Gelsenkirchen. They also covered Diamonds from Rihanna which is absolute banger. See ya on the next reaction 😉
Metalheads know 1 thing. The more disgusted you look the better. If you look like you just sniffed the worst thing you have ever smelled, we are excited.
There is “reaction” and then there is “overreaction” I’ve noticed over the past year that all these react channels are starting to use eccentric facial expressions and exaggerated head movements. Just my opinion.
Making that face is the greatest compliment you can give to a metal band truly

Last year I got really into Spiritbox. Was happy to see they were touring with Ghost and Mastodon! It was a great show but I wanted more Spiritbox!
My wife feels the same...lol
I was so desperate to see Spiritbox that I went to that Ghost show and left after Spiritbox. LOL
if youre ever looking for another band with some similar vibes especially to this song please listen to thornhill!! i cant recommend them enough!
Saw them for the 3rd time today. Saw them in 2022, then in April 2023 for their headline tour (got vip), and then just now with Papa Roach and Shinedown. They're a top 5 band for me easily. They write music the exact way that I would write it. Could never get tired of them
Courtney's harsh vocals have such a unique quality. It's hard to describe but no one can match it. She is the queen of scream.
It's close between her and Tatiana of Jinjer
Not really. Courtney sounds like most any screaming female. There is never any question as to if the sound is coming from her or not, unlike Tatiana, where often times people think it's not her doing the screams.
For Spiritbox, the music is great, the singing is above average, but the screams kill it for me.
@@TomFooleryGaming the fact that Courtney screams in key is what does it for me. It's insane.
She is for sure in the top five, but let's not forget Tatiana of Jinjer and Lauren Babic to name just two.
She makes it sound so effortless specially when she does it live. Jfc 💀
That’s final chorus man! Sent chills up my spine. Absolute perfection in that switch up.
That is truly the best part... it lifts the song to the next level... It's amazing as the whole song too...
You don't really know Spiritbox until you've seen them live. They're one of the few bands that studio recordings don't do them justice.
seeing them live toghetter with Arcitects in january!
Saw them with Korn last week, of the three bands Spiritbox was the best sounding by a mile
If you want NO screams from Courtney at all, check out The Void, Sew Me Up, We Live in a Strange World, and Secret Garden. All great Spiritbox songs. (there are other clean songs too, those are just my favorite right now)
Secret Garden is my favorite song by them! 🙌🙌
Constance is a masterpiece without screams. although i am saying that without knowing if she already did a reaction to Constance..🤣
@@colemanmyers8081 She already did it, that's why I didn't mention it.
I absolutely love a screaming Courtney, but Secret Garden is my favorite Spiritbox song. This is #2.
Eternal Blue is absolutely one of my favorites 💙
Your facial expressions kill me 😂
This song is incredible, everything is perfect. The intro lulls you in then that riff just gives you that stank face. Then Courtney comes in soothes you in and boom the growl is upon us. It's been on repeat for a while and the ending is amazing as well as I like how she layers the soft vocals.

Don't worry ray, that "disgusted" face is just the natural side effect of great metal songs😉
Yup, stankface is the ultimate compliment 🤘
I am so glad you finally done this one! I have been hooked listening to it every day since it came out! The composition of the song is just so brilliant and really helps lift Courtney to the next level!
The fact they didn't win a Grammy or perform it live will haunt me forever whenever I hear this song!
Hello, finally she reacted to this song, you always make the best react, hugs in Brazil. 😊
Love U Ray!greeds from Argentina!thnks 4 react and comment th vocals of Chester too!
Loved the reaction alot. Spiritbox is one of my favorite bands of all time and Courtney is a Goddess. They have a new song called Cellar Door and it's extremely heavy, and the breakdown is earth shattering.
We all know what the stank face means when it comes to Courtney. We never take it the wrong way 🤘🏻 I love your reactions so much, keep being amazinf
Never heard of them before I went to a Korn concert a couple of weeks ago. They played before Korn and they absolutely killed it 🤘
Those facial expressions 😂
Seen Spiritbox live in 2021 with Bad Omens and Underoath, amazing show. Stoked to see them again next time they come around my way.
so happy they are finally getting the recognition they deserve
Dark by October Ends is a vocal challenge, but I believe you can pull it off amazingly!
Absolutely unreal...... Ultimate collaboration??
Dark by October Ends is THE song right now. Cover it, and you'll slay!
Stankface is the biggest compliment! 🤘🏼
Friggan love this so much! My wife and I saw them live earlier this year and it was stellar!
The main riff on this song is 🤌🏻 Courtney's one take on this song if she does one is gonna be awesome because you can tell there is a lot of cool vocal stuff on this and she always brings those spicier, heavier parts out on the one takes
Don't worry all Metal fans know that face, "the stank face" lol
its ok ray, the stank face is a metal staple ;) i looked like that when i saw them live for about half the concert haha
If you havent encountered Periphery yet, I HIGHLY recommend. Its all the things you love!
Bad A B indeed, and stankface is widely known as a good thing when you get a disgusting drop xD
The single they dropped after this, Cellar Door, is all harsh vocals. It's so heavy.
Saw Spiritbox Friday night in Tampa! They opened up for Papa Roach and Shinedown. SB were so amazing ❤🤘🏼 (and this was their first song on the setlist!)
I wish I could see them playing with Gojira this summer!
I saw Spiritbox a couple months ago . They were amazing! I just wish the venue was bigger
were they main act?
@@MrEdwar084 yes they were
Probably my favourite song atm ❤
Spiritbox and Jinjer hits the right spot
We NEED A TOUR fr
Very cool and amazing new kick on that song!!!Please cover October Ends new song. Nick Thurl’s voice is INSANE!
You have a crush on her! 😂
Who doesn't have?
Lol your bit about your stank face had me rolling 😂😂😂
What’s great about Spiritbox is they don’t tend to stick to one script - they have some songs that are all clean singing, some that are all screams, some that are half/half like this…you never know what you’re going to get.
5:01 love it
You gotta check out Cellar Door and Angel Eyes. Absolutely incredible new songs from Spiritbox
It's easy the best song of this year
Totally love your face(es)
5:09 That's called a "Stank Face", its a well known facial reaction from hearing some good ass music
The way you react to this video is the same face that i express right now😅. +headbang. 🔥music video. 🖤spiritbox
Nobody tell her about IWrestledABearOnce. It might break her 😆
Dude! Boat Paddle and Inside Job are still my jams 😂
@2:53 You finally checked out Melissa Bonny and her band of amazing musicians?! Love Melissa! I saw her with Kamelot last month in Toronto. Her voice is incredible live! You should also check out her side band, The Dark Side of the Moon.
this video is unfair. Courtney is so hot
Back off man 💪😂
Not sure which is doing more for me her voice or watching your face reacting to it hahaha
very impatiently waiting for that ad infinitum video
Your reaction at 5:02 is 100% all of us 😂
Please check out TesseracT - Legion. The whole war of being album is awesome but that song has really outstanding vocals
Saw them live at pine knob there music is so good live 🎉
I really like this song, and I keep meaning to dive deeper into them.
Also, nice to hear you've got some Ad Infinitum coming up. I adore Melissa Bonny, she seems like a total sweetheart. I believe she finally married her longtime boyfriend Morten Sorensen, the drummer from Amaranthe, and her drummer in her side project, The Dark Side of the Moon.
The oddest part of metal music is the almost inescapable fact that the worse your song smells the better it is. Case and point, your expression at 1:42
You should check out Pain remains by Lorna Shore. Also check out the band Day Seeker
Look whenever the chugs come in, you just GOTTA make the stank face. That's one of the signs of a good song. Even in other genres, you could be listening to a rap verse where the bars are going hard and you just gotta make that stank face bc it's NASTY but in a good way.
You should listen to Leprous - Slave live in rockfeller. I think you gonna love it
Goddess is you.
In This Moment use to be so cool to me when I saw them perform live for the first time at Ozzfest 2006. Man they came out with a lot of bangers but they became more wack to the point where it wasn’t heavy metal for me anymore. Until I discovered Spirit Box, a Canadian band formed in 2017. Holy shit!

FYI it's called "Stank Face"
My god i got the feel that this album will even be better than Eternal Blue 😮
Her husband is the guitarist of the band and he's a B.A. as well!
amazing track, and great reaction! a band i think you might enjoy is Invent Animate, I'd try Without A Whisper. its a beautiful and brutal song about letting go of the loved ones you've lost and trying to move on through the hurt. could not recommend it enough!
Dont worry, everyone who listens to metal understands stink face, it cant be helped 😄
Hogy roller, lets go
Lmao the 😫 faces
i love Courtney as much as the next dude but like give credit to her husbands guitar work, Joshs bass tone and backing vocals during live performances, and Xevs tight af drum skills
As a huge Spiritbox fan and a kinkster, Courtney in latex is just *ungg* 😵💫
My man 🫡. She melts me
yes melissa bonny is a goddess
Thank you very much! I love your reactions! )))) bad omens - the grey, the death of peace o mind - now pleease ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Amazing
rain city drive - frozen
Courtney is so fucking rad
you're blushing, i can tell. you have a crush on Courtney, don't you? (not judging, you do you.)
don't we all have?
❤❤❤
Finally.
well?!
Where is the Ad Infinitum reaction then?? :D
Nice Reaction as always 🥳🥳🥳... Any Given Day just released a new track. Just check it out, its awesome. They are a German Band from Gelsenkirchen. They also covered Diamonds from Rihanna which is absolute banger. See ya on the next reaction 😉
honestly insane you haven't reacted to Dayseeker yet... or even The Plot in You... you need to.
Metalheads know 1 thing. The more disgusted you look the better. If you look like you just sniffed the worst thing you have ever smelled, we are excited.
I need you to do Heavener by Invent Animate
apparently you did not listen to #flyleaf before
Was supposed to hear Spiritbox for the first time at BRRF this year...I'm sure you've heard about that shit show. So disappointing.
There is “reaction” and then there is “overreaction”
I’ve noticed over the past year that all these react channels are starting to use eccentric facial expressions and exaggerated head movements. Just my opinion.
