Do Vildhjarta’s new track!!!!
So I love love Courtney...and all of the work she's brought to us!!! Someone in the comments mentioned Floor tho and so now I'm here asking if you'd like to review an older song/collab..."Let this River Flow"... Bjorn "Speed" Strid and Floor Jansen...I don't think you'll be disappointed, even if you don't review publicly!!!
Imma be real with you: I think I'm just going to cry tears of joy when I finally get to see Spiritbox in concert.
Same
Everything they do is beautifully overwhelming. I feel like a moshpit during constance would be poetic. We can all cry and hit each other for free.
You and me both. Can't wait for concerts in general but this would be an amazing piece for a live stage.
Yes... I hope they come to Europe
Same here. When Constance hits, fugedaboutit.
Can we take a moment to applaud and appreciate Courtney’s progression and evolution from her days in IWABO to now? In my opinion she might be the best female metal vocalist out there right now, Tatiana from Jinjer is certainly close up there but Courtney just edges it for me
Lauren Hart has also really improved in her time with Kamelot. Her unclean vocals are just as brutal as ever but seems like her clean singing has really evolved.
I think tatis high screams edge it out for me. To each their own, they're both number 1.
Floor has entered the chat....
I don't think Morgan lander from kittie gets enough love
@@donaldcampbell9483 Floor is just on another level, goddess status
The gritty vocal is new. I was there in the premier on their Patreon. Someone asked if it was a new technique. She said yes, she'd worked on it and was really excited to use it.
Hey that was me! :D
This is awesome. Hope she continues it! Sounds amazing
Would love to hear her do that on more tracks, it sounds so damn good
More more more!
Courtney dabbled in almost a Sam Carter sing-scream, and honestly I'd love to hear a full song in that style.
That would be awesome!
Same - that outro... sweet jebus - I need MORE of that in my life!!!
YES
fuck yes, I really hope she'll do more of that stuff, she nails it.
Fun fact, Sam has a feature on Spiritbox's debut album.
That final chorus gives me goosebumps still six days later. The way Mike , Zev, and Courtney changed their approach in the final chorus.... my God its so incredible. They are so damn talented.
Yeah man, the last chorus has a different chord structure than the other two, kind of like a bridge structure. It makes it sound more important and meaningful, I think!
Afaik mike does all the writing for drums, not sure if Zev recorded them or not but definitely written by Mike.
What about Bill, though? Haha
@@TankTheTech Poor Bill. Him too, though. What was that meme going around....? I started as tech but got demoted to bass player? BTW - I dig your reactions Tank!
@@elyk2k1 I second @TankTheTech reactions.
One take version of this is even better, particularly at the end when she moves from singing to screaming.
There are zero disappointments anywhere within a 100 mile radius of this video.
Nah I'm here.
1:23 Mark's face is like a proud dad who goes: " That's my girl ! "
hahahahaha best comment in this channel
I said it before and Ill say it again: Seeing Mark being passionate about good music is just heartwarming
I really wish the analysis was for the one-take performance. The ending you describe with the gritty vocals are just perfect and she changes back and forth within just one syllable. Absolutely insane.
I don't think it was out yet when he recorded this, but I agree! Would love for him to revisit this song through that video!
Dude I’ve been absolutely infatuated with her one take of this song. Probably one of the best vocalists of all time, that ability to switch between cleans and screams so easily is what gives her that edge for me. She’s insanely attractive as well, but that voice is beyond incredible
Courtney's screams are just so perfect for the sound they're trying to produce. She is so technically amazing at them and the band knows how to put them in at the perfect time with how the music is progressing. It's incredible how the songs are composed. She asks for your attention and demands it with her screams. I just love it.
I know or understand nothing about singing. I just come here to watch the tremendous joy on your face as you enjoy great music, so my depressed ass can soak up some of that sunshine. Your face just lights up. Thank you.
I cannot wait for this. Courtney has such a great voice
Spoiler alert: She totally does!
This channel introduced me to Spiritbox, and now I own all their stuff (including this single). There's basically nothing in her vocal performances that isn't astoundingly good. I can't wait to get a full length album from them.
That''s awesome to hear, I'm glad you found them!
I'll quote Courtney directly from twitter: "Circle With Me is our love letter to Metalcore"
They killed it and I can't stop listening to the song but for skeptics, this is not necessarily the sound they are going to default to, sice when have they ever defaulted to something anyway.
i love the point you made about courtney's screams being straight to the point and done well- her voice is so full of body, she could go nuts if she wanted to (on belcarra she goes higher on the "i was alive" parts and its SO good) but i love how her technique is so straightforward and still powerful
Yes! She does what's appropriate for the song and what gets the emotion through. Sometimes a lot of embellishment would just not be as effective. Would embellishment make "I have the power of a dying Sun" hit harder? Nah.
I love Spiritbox, I love Vocals, I love Mark. What more reason do I need to slap that like button!!!
This is my first tome seeing you, but I love how genuinely excited you get about parts of the song
"Ah...shouldn't have paused it! Guh...so sick!"
😂😂😂
So many emotions!
@@KardavoxAcademy felt the same way when I first heard it!
Lol! I love how much he loves music!!!!
Dude, it feels like all holidays together finding this NICE Band. 💙😀
The way she delivered the line “I climb the alter and I claim my place as god” give me chills every time. Great video by you as well. Love the videos you’re doing
Mate, the PRODUCTION on this. I love them for this bass heavy percussive mix.
I love that you brought that up at the end. The only way that I can think to describe it is that she yells instead of screaming which I have never heard before either, and fucking love! And then the scream right after is one of the best things that has ever passed through my eardrums. The way that it transition to the end is just incredible.
The giggle before the breakdown is the best part.
Haha, definitely!
Spiritbox is my number one band right now. This band is gonna go far!!
Yeah, they're an awesome band!
Voice of an angel, screams like a demon!
Hell yeah!
Love when you react to spiritbox because your excitement for it is contagious. I think this is my favorite spiritbox song
I watched another channel react to this and the guy spent the entire video just trashing it for NO GODDAMN REASON. He tried so hard to make it feel like this wasn't Spiritbox anymore because he cried listening to "Constance" and "Holy Roller" shocked him but this was just lack luster and called it "shit". So...naturally...he received so much hate and dislikes that he deleted the video. Mind you this dude has no musical background or experience no he obviously didn't know what he was talking about.
This video? *chefs kiss* Excellent analysis and open mindedness. I really like how you pick up and explain the most subtle vocal flairs she has and I find it super interesting. It makes me really think about how I sing and how I can spice up melodies. Love it. Keep doing a stellar job my dude.
On Twitter Courtney said that end bit with the gritty singing is a new thing she’s been working on and the album is very architects inspired. Another great video by the way!!
This was my first video I have seen of yours and I got to say I’m hooked I love the way you break everything down I have watched others do this with this song but I actually feel I learned something from your video
Whenever a new Spiritbox song comes out I know Mark is always gonna be the first one on it. Such a great band and it only gets better from here.
Nik nocturnal dropped his reaction same day as the track dropped bud.
This is the first breakdown in a song that ever made me tear up
I can’t stop headbanging to the breakdown. My neck is sore. XD
Chills, just absolutely perfect. You can tell it's coming... and just woefully unprepared every time.
It has been revealed that Spiritbox will be releasing a full length album this Fall!
Hell yeah!
What an amazing song, Spiritbox is just going from strength to strength at this point!
Hands down my favorite reaction channel, the way you always break down the techniques is so refreshing. It never hurts to have Spiritbox on the channel either. Incredible video as always, and incredible music from Spritbox as always!
I appreciate that, thanks so much for checking out our videos!
That background layer of screaming you noticed at the end runs all the way through the song. So pleased you brought it up.
“Yo I’ve never heard her sing like that”- I instantly knew exactly what you were talking about lmao
Spirit Box provides all the chills
It makes me so happy this song has 671K views as of this post, five days since the video was posted. So well deserved.
Aw man I wish you did the One Take of it. The final chorus is *chefs kiss*
Courtney said the gritty singing is something new for her. 😁
I’m doing a vocal cover of this and I couldn’t be more excited. This song is written so incredibly well.
yo¡ send link, im learning to growl and im working on a cover too, i would very much like to hear yours.
It's not just you man, when I heard that outro the first time I ended up replaying it straight up for half an hour cause I couldn't get enough. Just great. Also a great reaction and analysis, love how much insight you can provide.
Listen bro, I love your videos! I love when you take a break from giving the analysis and you're just vibing. Please please do a reaction to the one take of this song so you can get the full feel of that ending because it's gold!
I've been meaning to do that, just haven't gotten around to it yet!
Never disappointed in your spiritbox reactions. I will come back and watch this video several times just to watch someone else get as excited as I do.
I discovered Courtney on Erra's track "Vanish Canvas" and fell in love. I was like "Holy mother, who is that????".
It's always cool when you discover a great vocalist in a guest spot!
"I paused it a little too early -get over it..." he said. As if it wasn't to himself because he was, indeed, annoyed with himself for doing that.
😆
We're cool. You do you 😄🤘🏻
... when you wanted to rewind and had all my attention and then that ad came in... my madwoman laugh came out. That was gold
youre such a happy fellow, mark :)
Was already in love with this tune but your analysis and breakdown of songs always makes me appreciate them so much more! Keep killing it homie!
Thanks bro!
Excellent review man, thank you
Your excitement for this type of music is fantastic literally I get excited when I hear great tracks such as this only difference is you are able to break down all the reasons why it's so great whilst I cant🥲 you sir have earned another sub
Thanks for the kind words, welcome to the family!
man, i just love your analyzes and reactions, they are always so precise and accurate.!
imo this is not poppier than for example 'blessed be', the hooks are just next level catchy.!!
yes, you're right...this song (and 'constance') will make it to the album - the other songs remain as stand-alone singles. ...and their album is coming next.!! love you, bro.! ♥♥
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
New Left to Suffer is fantastic (especially Depression) dudes range is insane
Love this breakdown, man!
Thanks bro!
This is a perfect example of an artist who's coming straight from their heart. The energy screams in VOLUMES my guy. I love your analysis videos too man!
1st. Spirtbox is just amazing and always just mind blowing!
2nd. Ive watch many 'vocal coach reacts' videos and man! You videos are amazing! So much energy and love for music is just awesome!!
Love these guys
You're my hero I love you man, and now even more that I noticed the PS1 in the barckground!
Hey man I just listened to Kardashev’s album, just hit my phone. Absolutely insane. You guys sit in this pocket of pure musical intensity while at the same time you also having extreme dynamics which creates a very, very interesting juxtaposition. Hits right where the feelz are :)
Spiritbox really delivered here: simplicity - executed perfectly - with sprinkles of nuance.
Those in-depth vocal knowledge are insane ! Good job
Glad you dig it, man!
@@KardavoxAcademy I do, i use to have metalcore band ( 2008-2012 ) sad your channel didn't exist back then i could use those tips now i can barely scream for 2-3mins without burning my voice haha ! Anyway keep up the good work
You are the best in the reaction game dude. Your voice is also great. 👍
This cd is going to be so good. I can't wait.
I hope they release it on vinyl, I would love that
"Tunnel throat toilet bowl gurgle". 🚽 possibly one of the best things I've ever heard.
Haha yessss first time I heard the toilet bowl reference was Phil Bozeman from whitechapel at the MitchLucker memorial show I’d be like get ready to flush the toilet!! Then he’d just KILL it with those evil low gutterals hahaa love it
I need that full album yesterday. Spiritbox is too good. They just don't miss.
Courtney really went from just some awkward kid screeching on stage to hands down one of the most talented and nuanced metal vocalists right now. She has matured so much from the IWABO days
I like her better in iwrestledabearonce. This stuff gets very boring.
@@A.i.Riverz "this stuff"? How is this the same as for instance Holy Roller?
Agreed, but from how much her voice has grown from this track to earlier spiritbox recordings, I think courtney has a few more tricks up her sleeves for us yet.
@@PnlBtr She's definitely even said in interviews that she's been consistently trying to push out of her comfort zone to widen her technique and it shows. I can't wait for her to break out into a full melodic scream chorus
Man, I love your analysis!
Every time I watch one of your videos I go back to that particular song and it feels like a brand new song to me.
It is so easy to miss those subtile details when you don't have a trained ear or knowledge at all.
Really appreciate your channel. Keep up the great work!
"Cuz it was dope!" This could've been a video where that was the only comment and it would've still been 100% accurate.
5:43 Mosquito flying around your ear
When she screamed the last "circle with me" it had so much more force behind, it was a great way to go out with the song
Love your videos. I know little about singing but I always learn something new. The use of syllables in 'altar' is also used in 'martyr'. I suppose it could be thought of as an appoggiatura since the second syllable is in anticipation for the harmonic note on the final. Since we're talking about words it's just a melisma.
I had the same reaction you did at the very end of the song, like ow that sound is new ! She adds something new in every song. Courtney is the best! Spiritbox is the best !
They saved the best for last, it was a nice surprise!
pretty good review and youre not stopping the song every 5 sec wich is dope il sub and like
Nah, it's not just you dude, it was sick.
I absolutely love this group. Blown away
Spiritbox is something special!!
One best bands right now
Absolutely can NOT wait any longer for the album!!
They’ve always sounded “poppy,” specifically the clean vocal melodies. Bleach Bath is a perfect example. Blessed Be as well, along with a bunch of others. It’s a great combo with the heavy sound from the instruments imo.
I think that's what makes them unique to me. Unlike some other metalheads, I listen to a lot of pop music and pretty much only female pop vocalists. Spiritbox combines some very hooky pop melodies with very aggressive and dry harsh vocals, along with the heavily syncopated djenty guitar parts. I feel like compared to other female fronted bands like Jinjer who employ clean and harsh vocals, Spiritbox pulls in more pop and intentional "hooks", whereas Jinjer is influenced more by nü metal, reggae, ska, and other rock genres. I love Jinjer as well, but they juxtapose more conventional clean sounds with the heavy stuff imo. And that's not even mentioning bands that employ a lot of classical influence (symphonic and power bands with death vocals).
Nah dude, that outro has one of the cleanest and powerful transitions from the sing to scream I've heard in a long time, amazing song
You just gained a new follower homie. Keep up the good work!
One of my favorite songs from Spiritbox, though this whole album is gold. Thanks for pointing out the layers in her performance--that quality makes her one of my favorite vocalists, and it suits the variations in style and mood each Spiritbox song delivers. Such a band!
Absolutely Love This Song! My fav by them 🖤🖤💙💙
It's a great song!
first time stumbling over your channel, and i've gotta say that seeing your unfiltered enthusiasm is so nice. maybe it's the quarantine brain for me, but it's nice to see someone enjoy something these days. had a good time hearing your commentary!
YES!! As soon as this came out I've been looking forward to your reaction to this! ESPECIALLY the ending. Trust me you're not the only one who could sit with that outro for hours. This song hasn't left on repeat for me yet and it's not going to soon. Great video and analysis!
Excellent analysis as always, Mark! And big props to Spiritbox, driving us from catchy emotional choruses to dank face passages, they are perfecting the formula!
Just saw Spiritbox at Louder Than Life yesterday. Just incredible! If given the chance to see them live, take advantage. The vocals are mesmerizing and the mix of melody and metal are haunting and powerful.
That outro is literally amazing and just such a good addition after the breakdown, it ups it quite a bit and its awesomeeeee
Absolute banger indeed - Love this channel! I have been introduced to some amazing music, including this band, and of course Kardashev
Glad you enjoy it, thanks dude!
4:13 "pfffft" must be one of my favorite reactions of all time :D
Haha, it's such a good moment!
Finally a vocalist/coach that enjoys this music, is able to scream and know exactly how its done and whats happening. Here, take a subscription.
Glad you reacted to this. Lost count of how many times I've listened to this track already.
Awesome, I didn't see it right, but that IS Zev on the drums :-) great!!!
When he reacted at 1:23, I felt that
Amazing song and vocals aside. I love the way you describe what you hear and i can see the enthusiasm and excitement this song brought you. You’ve earned a like and a sub, great video ✌️
This is the video I was waiting for since the premiere! Thank you Mark ❤️
Hope you enjoyed it!
It's not just you, I loved that ending too 😂
Watching people react to this song is something else. I haven't seen such classically mind-boggled reactions across the board since Sicko Mode.
Amazing song. Amazing reaction and insight into the vocals especially
It is honestly /fascinating/ to watch you work and observe/comment on her vocals. This is some top tier metal vocalist content.
dude youre incredible. for me to even dabble in your profession is mind blowing to me. so rad
