Just gotta say, the irony in me saying "I haven't seen this band get a lot of hate" and seeing butthurt metalheads screaming "tHiS iSnT mEtAl" in the comments is not lost on me. 😂😂
The moment a band gets described any sort of gateway to metal, they get slandered by metal gatekeepers until the end of time. It's ridiculous. Everyone uses pop melodies and structures, isn't immune either.
@@TheNamesFathom Nah make them suffer fell off from where they were fr. From the aggressive fury of Neverbloom to modern radio friendly octane fueled buttcore, downgrade of the fukin century. For your comparison though, Spiritbox isn't nearly as heavy as early make them suffer, maybe comparable to their modern era sure but that's meh.
Took them long enough to figure out he could sing. It’s like they found him in a target or something and didn’t realize he played in another band for 14 years
The thing i love most about Spiritbox is their restraint. Everyone knows that every member of this band can shred their instrument of choice, but they play to serve the song, and it just sounds great
Exactly. I feel like a lot of bands would have added a brutal section somewhere in this song just for juxtaposition’s sake. I love that they upped the intensity throughout the entire song, but never went so far as to ruin the song. Absolutely brilliant package with the music video.
Great reaction - so much better watching reactions from music lovers and celebrators versus haters. You have great musical understanding while also enjoying the variety Spiritbox does which is great.
Tank, have you heard Spiritbox's performance of Circle With Me from Louder than Life where Tati surprise-guested? The video with remastered audio is AMAZING, & it was amazing to experience live
@@TankTheTech They had Sam from Architects on for a song too! I dont remember which one specifically. I think during their set they had three or four different artists with them on stage. It was awesome to see! You should try to make it out to LTL! We would love to see you there!
Ever since I heard the debut albums of Periphery, Monuments, and Tesseract, I've been jamming to more bands like them and Spiritbox box for a while now. I still like my 2000's metalcore, melo-death, powermetal, and nu-metal bands. Courtney's voice is so good!
With every new release, I love this band more and more. At first, I didn't get the hype at all but it is starting to grow on me and it happens fast 🤟🏼🤗🍺
I've probably posted this on all reactions for this song but shoutout to Versa Films for another incredible vid. This is their 7th? vid with Spiritbox and its beautiful. Also shoutout to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where this vid was shot 🇨🇦 Love seeing epic shit like this come out of my province ❤
I could not stop listening to this song once it came out. I’m stoked for this album. It’s so hard to have back to back banger albums. Eternal blue, and the EP are some of my most listened to albums I have. I can almost guarantee this album will be added to that list in my repertoire.
Cannot disagree. Spiritbox is part of the future of metal. They keeps getting better and better each year. Would not put them in my top 10 yet but at this rate they will be there soon. I'll put them in the same category as Ad Infinitum and Beyond the Black where this is the future of metal. Spiritbox is part of the foundation of what our kids will enjoy and where metal will be in 5 to 10 years.
I found out Spiritbox are supporting Linkin park at Wembley stadium next year.. Which is pretty nuts, I saw them play at the Roundhouse in Camden a while ago and that was so much fun. Brand of sacrifice supported them, who now are going to support Fit for a king and Motionless in white next year. So awesome.
In the last 10 years the bands in the metal scene that have been killing it consistently and blowing up are Sleeptoken, Slaughter To Prevail, Left To Suffer, Jinjer, and Spiritbox. At least in my opinion.
The production on this is great. They deserve all the success and are genuinely some of the best people ive ever met. Also their pizza colab they did with Prince Street was amazing
this song is a complete vibe. the added high harmonies from Josh on the chorus is just the icing on the top of a band that didn't think could get any better. perfection
I just saw the caption of this video and I 100% agree, I’m kinda eh on the new song but it’s absolutely a perfect gateway into the band’s catalog. Plus Josh Gilbert is back in full force and I love that.
I learned of spiritbox because of the collab with Meg Thee Stallion. Love that song. I thought to myself damn this is like rap metal. Like metal as hell I was so pleasantly surprised
Tank, my good man, I love to hear you break down music. I have loved music my whole life but I do not understand it very well. Since you (and people like Chase C./Charismatic Voice) have come along, you help me understand the WHY of it all to me. Music makes more sense now, I have learned so much from you and really appreciate you. :) Much love!
Tank you said, and the original Circle With Me video that there would be a huge anthem moment when she sings, cut down the altar at the beginning. There are so many video clips of that exact same thing from the crowd and on stage of thousands of people screaming the opening to that song . You good sir are a prophet lol
Been a while since I popped into a tank vid. I’ve missed this. Amazing vocals amazing instrumentals, Spiritbox is quickly becoming one of my go tos. Keep up the good work Tank!
I did not know until this song that their bass player Josh has an incredible voice as well! And yes, Spiritbox was my re-entry band into heavy vocals in 2020.
That somewhat ethereal vocal at the start that made you go 'ooh,' reminded me of what the Front Line Assembly lads did when they had their Delerium hats on to Kristy Thirsk and the like. Beyond that, I was getting strong Sleep Token vibes, especially 'The Summoning.'
I really liked this song. I love listening to Eternal Blue as well, and this points that the new album might have a similar atmosphere. I think you hit the nail on the head when you talked about how they nail the groove with their music. Whether it’s a heavy or softer track, it has a groove that makes it great to listen to.
They definitely get a lot less hate than other bands, because they are so likable to everyone, are overly cautious with media, and just make stellar music where anyone can find some pieces they like. Really just the gatekeepers that hate and its so nitpicky and irrelevant. Good music speaks for itself, this band is controlled enough to not get weird looks like Sleep Token but varied enough to not get labeled as cookie cutter metalcore band. I love the range though, Mike and Courtney do not miss.
Been a fan ever since their Iwrestledabearonce days! I’m loving this new era of female lead metal bands! Spiritbox and Not Enough Space are at the top of it for me!
They’re evolving like In This Moment, but hopefully they don’t stray too far from what made them popular to begin with. I can’t even get through an ITM album anymore.
I think think Josh's voice along with Courtney's works fantastic fun fact also in mid October me and a friend who isn't particularly in the metal scene went to go see Jinjer and he absolutely love them! and I introduced him to Spiritbox and he's been slowly getting in to them :D
Love the song. I also like their less scream-y songs sometimes. I also love Josh's vocals being layered in there (if you have a Josh Gilbert in your band, you might as well use him). Also RIP to their original bass player Bill Crook. He died in July.
Next month in Mexico we'll have a big concert with Thrown, The Plot In You, Polaris, Spiritbox as part of Bring Me The Horizon tour. Spiritbox will be the last band before BMTH and they have been delivering a lot recently. I'm really pumped to see all those bands live, I'm mainly most excited for Spiritbox and BMTH.
I'm into the most filthy, hardcore shit you can imagine. Spiritbox is the ONLY band that I can enjoy both the bridge of "hardcore" and beautiful music like this. Everything else is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
The reason you hear that Chino vibe in the vocals so different its because of Josh Gilbert's vocals too! I wanted that from Spiritbox for so long! They had a weapon with Josh Gilbert and they finally used it!!
Hey Tank, I'm here for the live but chat isn't showing. Wanted to say Hi and hope you feel better soon. My best to Ingrid & Claire as well! Edit: LOVE this song, 💯 agree with you!!!!
Just gotta say, the irony in me saying "I haven't seen this band get a lot of hate" and seeing butthurt metalheads screaming "tHiS iSnT mEtAl" in the comments is not lost on me. 😂😂
Can you please explain what an "ass reaction" is? And what is all these videos about these "basic" ones?

@@TankTheTech Can you please explain what an "ass reaction" is? And what is all these videos about these "basic" ones?
If Spiritbox becomes Courtney and Josh singing the shit out of songs, I'm all for it.
if they end up doing something similar to make them suffer I will lose my shit
@@TheNamesFathom Nah make them suffer fell off from where they were fr. From the aggressive fury of Neverbloom to modern radio friendly octane fueled buttcore, downgrade of the fukin century.

Josh Gilbert singing harmonies is everything we fucking hoped we'd get when he joined the band.
Josh's additional vocals just take this song to the next level, love it.
Yes icing on the cake
100%
As much as I love to see him have success in Spiritbox, he is one of my favourite vocalist, I wish he would sing more ahah
Took them long enough to figure out he could sing. It’s like they found him in a target or something and didn’t realize he played in another band for 14 years
@5fingerdpunchfan originally all he wanted to do is play and not really do vocals or be part of writing. Guess he changed his mind
Can we just talk about how THATS JOSH FUCKING GILBERT SINGING AGAIN
I was waiting for him to mention that 😭
I've been waiting for him to finally start singing!!! One of my favorite backing vocalists...
Super stoked about it! I was worried with Courtney doing both clean and harsh vocals that he would never feature in the songs.
It is truly special, I hope we get more of them together
As a die hard ol skool AILD fan I approve!
So happy they they are finally taking advantage of Josh's vocal talents. Courtney and Josh combining together vocally is a so powerful.
Very "Blessed Be"
and perennial

this track gives me singles collection vibes and I looove it
Great reaction - so much better watching reactions from music lovers and celebrators versus haters. You have great musical understanding while also enjoying the variety Spiritbox does which is great.
I thought you’d hear “there she goes; there she goes again” … great reaction!
Same. Lol
I racked my brain trying to figure out where that melody came from and I thought of it randomly at work 😂
Yup same here haha
Sounds like a good song to use a treadmill to!
Omg, came to find this comment🤣
They just don't miss! This has very Blessed Be vibes but like, the logical evolution of it
I thought same.... caught myself singing along with the if i lose myself thing
Tank, have you heard Spiritbox's performance of Circle With Me from Louder than Life where Tati surprise-guested? The video with remastered audio is AMAZING, & it was amazing to experience live
I actually haven't seen it. I'll need to go check it out.
@TankTheTech Brother it's a MUST
@@TankTheTech They had Sam from Architects on for a song too! I dont remember which one specifically. I think during their set they had three or four different artists with them on stage. It was awesome to see! You should try to make it out to LTL! We would love to see you there!
@@Jrclego1998 probs yellowjacket since hes on the album for that song
They also had Poppy join them on Soft Spine
The harmonies between Courtney and Josh is fantastic! Chef's kiss!
This song has been stuck in my head so much. I dare say it might be my favorite one they've performed.
Ever since I heard the debut albums of Periphery, Monuments, and Tesseract, I've been jamming to more bands like them and Spiritbox box for a while now.
I still like my 2000's metalcore, melo-death, powermetal, and nu-metal bands.

With every new release, I love this band more and more. At first, I didn't get the hype at all but it is starting to grow on me and it happens fast 🤟🏼🤗🍺
So happy that after all their success they could finally afford to buy Josh a mic to do vocals 😂
I was not expecting a comment like this but this made my day 😂
I've probably posted this on all reactions for this song but shoutout to Versa Films for another incredible vid. This is their 7th? vid with Spiritbox and its beautiful. Also shoutout to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where this vid was shot 🇨🇦 Love seeing epic shit like this come out of my province ❤
They shot this in Moose Juice?! That's incredible! Now its cool for Spiritbox and the Tunnels. 😊
I've been following Spiritbox for several years now, same wiht Jinjer. Having Tati on stage with Courtney on their tour recently was FIRE.
I could not stop listening to this song once it came out. I’m stoked for this album. It’s so hard to have back to back banger albums. Eternal blue, and the EP are some of my most listened to albums I have. I can almost guarantee this album will be added to that list in my repertoire.

Spiritbox continues to DOMINATE METALCORE
Also this album releases 2 days after my birthday so im stoked for that lol
In the last 10 years the bands in the metal scene that have been killing it consistently and blowing up are Sleeptoken, Slaughter To Prevail, Left To Suffer, Jinjer, and Spiritbox. At least in my opinion.
how could you forget about Lorna effin Shore?!
@ crap! I meant to add them 🤦🏻♂️
Agree completely except I don’t know Left to Suffer so will have to check them out!
@ I would suggest listening to their song “Loathe”. I hope you enjoy
I had the exact same "take on me" thought. I started singing that to myself the first time I heard it
The harmonizing with Josh on the chorus is *chef kiss* 🤌
First time I’m early to a song and a video!!!! Ahhh hope everyone has a good weekend 😊 thanks for existing, Tank 🤘🏾
The production on this is great. They deserve all the success and are genuinely some of the best people ive ever met. Also their pizza colab they did with Prince Street was amazing
As someone who got into metal via the Evanecense -> Nightwish -> Theater of Tragedy gate, i fully support this
this song is a complete vibe. the added high harmonies from Josh on the chorus is just the icing on the top of a band that didn't think could get any better. perfection

I 2nd the Zev love and was so happy they finally made him an official member last year
Agreed! Josh adding to harmonies is such a great addition to the band.
I did not know until this song that their bass player Josh has an incredible voice as well! And yes, Spiritbox was my re-entry band into heavy vocals in 2020.
So much going on in this song, so well crafted!
That somewhat ethereal vocal at the start that made you go 'ooh,' reminded me of what the Front Line Assembly lads did when they had their Delerium hats on to Kristy Thirsk and the like.
Beyond that, I was getting strong Sleep Token vibes, especially 'The Summoning.'
Agreed! Well said!…Spiritbox is blowing up!
This song, gave me instant tears is so stunning. Loved the reaction.
I Just love Spiritbox, they are amazing, this song is perfect
Melissa Bonny and Ad Infinitum are doing similar to this, smooth vocals and great melody over chunky groove
11:50 Fan-tastic in term of the vibe. I see what you did there.
I really liked this song. I love listening to Eternal Blue as well, and this points that the new album might have a similar atmosphere.
I think you hit the nail on the head when you talked about how they nail the groove with their music. Whether it’s a heavy or softer track, it has a groove that makes it great to listen to.
Josh and Courtney = 🔥❤️
Love that his voice is being more utilized right now, THIS SONG IS PERFECTION🤘🏻
This song is so nice. I really like vibe and atmosphere of song.
I was also thinking of Take On Me when I first heard this song, which put a big smile on my face 😊

Damn, I love this band so much!! I hope Mike and Courtney NEVER break up! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🤘🔥
I'm diggin it.
So many comments here praising Josh's vocals. As they should!
They’re evolving like In This Moment, but hopefully they don’t stray too far from what made them popular to begin with. I can’t even get through an ITM album anymore.
Mike writes the sickest grooves.
I’m sure I’ve heard some Spiritbox before, but liking this, better get on Spotify this morning then!
already my most anticipated album of next year
that 'take on me' vibe you were getting at the vocal part.... was giving me Sixpence 'There She Goes' vibes. lol
I hope that's Josh actually harmonizing... The dude's amazing and deserves some vocal shines.
I don’t know what anyone in Spiritbox looks like, but based on the title I knew this was going to be about Spiritbox.
I think think Josh's voice along with Courtney's works fantastic fun fact also in mid October me and a friend who isn't particularly in the metal scene went to go see Jinjer and he absolutely love them! and I introduced him to Spiritbox and he's been slowly getting in to them :D
Take On Me! YES indeed
I really love Josh Gilbert's bass tone
I get a blessed be by them vibe.
Spiritbox never miss ❤
I had a good laugh at the “Take on Me” comparison. That section actually made me think “There She Goes” 😂
"Take on Me", yes I can hear it. My head went to "There She Goes" by The La's.
Saw them this year at LTL....they were so exciting and wow....loved them
I miss the Beauty of Suffering and Aphids sound, but still a killer band and super deserving of all their success.
Love the song. I also like their less scream-y songs sometimes. I also love Josh's vocals being layered in there (if you have a Josh Gilbert in your band, you might as well use him). Also RIP to their original bass player Bill Crook. He died in July.

Saw Spiritbox and BMTH play together at a pre-show for SNW last year and can confirm it was epic
That is a very good song! And now we gonna check out 'The Serpant' by Jinjer, arent we?
I'm into the most filthy, hardcore shit you can imagine. Spiritbox is the ONLY band that I can enjoy both the bridge of "hardcore" and beautiful music like this. Everything else is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Literally CHILLS!!! I LOVE SPIRITBOX more every single time I hear them🩵🩵🩵🩵
@10:00 That melody reminded of that as well!
Headlining with Periphery supporting them is wild. Good for them!
Song is such a vibe
That vocal melody made me think of "There She Goes" by The La's, but I can hear "Take on Me" too.
The reason you hear that Chino vibe in the vocals so different its because of Josh Gilbert's vocals too! I wanted that from Spiritbox for so long! They had a weapon with Josh Gilbert and they finally used it!!
It feels like their songs are like Onions, They have so many layers and they just work so fucking well together. I love everything they do.
Years, years ago I listened to Unsun a lot. This bad definately has that vibes!!
bro you nailed it ! the vocals give me that deftones vibes , so coool
9:53 that in fact should NOT p¡ss anyone off cuz the song you compared it to is an absolute banger lmfaooo
i noticed the take on me melody at first too
I was literally thinking of take on me as well
Hoping Josh sings more in the album. I guess we'll find out via more singles or march 7th
god damn, new canadian music legends
9:55 The La's "There She Goes"
Yes!
Writing melodies might not be easy, but when you have a vocalist like Courtney it makes it easier
Spiritbox was my entry drug years ago.
Tank, you're not the first reactor to mention the "Aha" moment. lol
Also that vocal melody reminds me of there she goes that song by sixpence from the 90's
Courtney is amazing.
Their two collabs with Meg thee stallion are criminally underrated
Don't be surprised if this band ends up getting on pop charts in a few years.
Fantastic song.
Hey Tank, I'm here for the live but chat isn't showing. Wanted to say Hi and hope you feel better soon. My best to Ingrid & Claire as well!
Edit: LOVE this song, 💯 agree with you!!!!
It wasn't a live premiere for this one since I was out doing family stuff. But thanks for trying to be here for it!
@TankTheTech Thanks for acknowledging my comment. Be well!
