I feel like im floating on a cloud of riffage and emotions
Agreed, the emotion is so real. Beautifully done
You guys should invite her to your next Sion album 😉. Imagine this girl and Howard on the same track. Chills
I love u bb.
💯 Jared. Everyone is very tuned into each other. That's one thing for everyone to be very talented and another to be able to bring those talents together and put together something that gives a person goosebumps
just found these guys last night.. ddn stop listening to them yet..
Bloody fucking hell. That decision to switch to screaming during the high part at the end was one of the best things that has happened in music. Emotion over 9000.
The first time I saw this video, I was like wow, the screams during that section really give the song that extra heaviness, and was even more goose bump inducing.
Yeah that was so badass
We need a new studio version with those... It's out of this world
it was brutal yes, but the highs add more intensity for me personally. It's the same with Jinjer's pisces, where tatiana does the "searching for a hook to catch on, and see their sun beam" with a high voice on the video but growls it live (the album has both overlayed onto each other, but i prefer only highs)
@@d00mnoodle i get what you're saying, it's probably personal preference. i really love this song, doesn't matter if this version or the album version. i don't even favour this version because its more brutal but rather because the screams just carry much more emotion for me.. but again, personal preference.
i think i remember an interview with tatiana where she's saying she's screaming the high part live because she's afraid to mess it up and thus prefers to stay in her safe zone. i mean i get that, but i'd love her to do that high part in pisces live :D
I love the way she squares up with the microphone like a boxer against their opponent
Boxers don’t square up brah. They want blows to glance-a boxer
@@Rocketman200mph ok
@@adamreinhardt9135 as a fighter myself he isn't wrong, squaring up makes you an easier target to hit 😅 makes sense you wouldnt know the difference if youve never trained
I noticed that too! Love it! Great observation
The seamless switch between scream and clean at 3:38 is unreal. Very few people understand the level of vocal control one needs to do that, and even fewer people can actually do that. That is absolutely mind blowing.
For real. Only other vocalist I’ve heard do the melodic growling that well is Peter Tagren and he can’t do the clean like this. She’s the total metal core package
and literally even screaming on the right pitches at the end of the phrase?? absolute legendary shit
the only dude that I think can nail that kinda technique is Brian Wille from Currents... he's pretty good I must say
Best part of the song it sounds so “real” like visceral emotion to me.
@@dylanharris3110abso freaking lutly 🤟🤙
CUT DOWN THE ALTAR
The way she amps herself up at the beginning is fantastic. You can tell she's feeling that intro, and ready to just really get into the song... I love it
Right where is the alter? I"m cutting that shit down!!
OBSESSED
@@garyv969 probably Canadá 🤔
Anyways you’ll need this 🪓
She actually screams "Cut down the alder!" her family lineage is lumberjacks and bowyers....
Man that “This could all be yours” end section is wild. Unreal control homie ❤️
For real! That "Be" in the cleans in the middle had me awestruck
I legit teared up at how amazing it was
Holy sh*t that was amazing!
I agreeee!!!
Holy shit! Thought the exact same, the switching techniques :o
The way she screams "WATCHING" around the 3:30 mark gives me chills every time. I can't stop listening to this version!
She's insane. I've been listening to that Eternal Blue album a lot lately. She's incredible.
the same for me!!!
I kept listening to that part over and over. SO GOOD!
It's easy to imitate these fry screams she does. 😊
I just discovered this version and I’m OBSESSED! She gives me chills!!!!
2:35 "I held the power of a dying sun. I climb the altar and I claim my place as God!!!"
Holy shit, Courtney. The goosebumps on my goosebumps have goosebumps.
Sic ass lyrics! So much emotion and powerful meaning.
And the deliverance... Just wow.
It’s fuckin LIT!!! 🔥
Artistry. Not too often someone can vocally command this emotionally across such a range.
Someone held an infinity stone and I can tell.
I prefer this over the recorded version, you can hear how powerful her voice is in the chorus
since i found this one i can't listen to the rec one, so yeah you are damn right
@@millebrasco I can't exactly explain what's so different other than the power in her voice - especially the ending verse/chorus. Gives me goosebumps like every time. Recorded version is still great, but her voice here is phenomenal
@@pelicanine So for me it was on the one hand the fact that during a live take she gave the best of her brute, beautiful voice so flawlessly - on the other hand you can see that she totally feels the lyrics and the music, and that makes it for me again many times more intensively. Do you understand what I mean? Needless to say she's also beautiful lol so it's a win-win-win for me :) it's just a shame it's not on spotify!
I say the same thing!!!
me too
The balance of screaming and singing in this whole song is fucking legendary. Those last 20 seconds though. Wow
Yeah. Exactly this. The control in that last section is unreal.
Yeah, at 3:38 is insane
Amazing, gave me goosebumps !
@@kaytok8677 Me too, I got really emotional. What a voice she has.
Uhh yeah I literally watched those last 30 seconds about 10 times lol. Her screams are fucking AWESOME!!!
I’m so desperate to hear this version on Spotify!!!! I have goosebumps- so incredible!!
Anyone else watched this over 1000 times yet? It's just so so insane...that ending is truly mind blowing. Pure Awe.
I been listening to them for a while and I came across this video again and just played the last minute maybe 35 times
1000+ gang checking in
Glad I’m not the only one!
In my mind, 3:32 to end places Courtney among the best to have ever done it.
INCREDIBLE performance 💙💙💙
She did and outstanding performance... man what a way to finish a song!!
Yes yes yes!!! Swapping from scream to sing from one syllable to the next is INSANE and she kills it!
I DID NOT expect that!! Gave me chills!!
I think it's a tie between her and Andy for best metal vocalist right now.
Legit think that outro is better than the recorded version aha. That was sick.
The closing part is a masterpiece in voice control and tone. Unbelievable.
I am addicted to the last bit when she screams it made me instantly fall in love with her
God I love it, sends chills down my spine every time. I literally watch this version just for that part. Needs to be released as it’s own version
@@andyc821 same ;D
The mix of clean and scream at the end is imo so much better than the studio version. So much control in her voice. Unreal. How the same person can do this and then something as brutal as Holy Roller, I'll never be able to explain.
i get goosebumps everytime at the end
When Courtney seamlessly goes from singing to screaming, PERFECTION. I get chills every singe time I rewatch this! I need this live version to be for sale!
Petition to make this the original version
I almost expected a "I did it" at the end. God, you gotta love her and her voice. Good for a SINGER
Duuuuude SAME!!! " Aiiii deeeed eet"
This is ez pz for her. She's a badass
"I'm da best mayne...i deed it. I said freak" 😂
Æ DID IT 😂
She done had deed it
Incredible performance
Never knew you listened to spiritbox!? what a surprise haha
fucking powerful !!!
dang never expected to see you here. dope you listen to spiritbox
Brightclips commented on a Spiritbox video; That's exactly what this day needed.
Spartan *
this version of the song has been stuck in my head for over 2 months every day...
Holy fudge, never heard a single song from this band before, but this got recommended to me, thanks youtube for recommending me the best music out there :O
Well in that case I can recommend... *checks notes* ...every single track they've made!
I heard about her for a replacement to Chester Copperpot in the rebirth of Lincoln Park.
She did it.
Deed it**
Again
Holy shit she murdered that ending!!!
This is the most beautiful display of vocals I’ve ever seen in my life
Guessed you’ve never heard sounds of silence by disturbed then 💁♂️
@@sexmchne That's their worst cover song. sorry. it's ass.
@@sexmchneDude, whaaat? That's a wicked song, but there's no comparison between the vocal ranges.
The Gathering - Travel
@@ryukan250yeah the live version at Doornroosje its amazing
What do you mean I've been listening to this song on loop for 1.5 yrs only to find out she was doing everything in the vocals. :0 I am beyond impressed at the range like damn. My mental concerts are updated.
Oh man, the last minute of this song is insane. How good is Courtney!!!! I got chills 💙
Totally. That was better than the album cut IMO. I love the rough vocals when singing.
Agreed. Chills guaranteed
Always gives me chills at the end. So good 💯🎶💯
100000%
Loved that ending... Courtney and SB have been killing it lately and I hope they get the attention and energy they deserve... gonna see them next time they come around 🤘🔥
As a father to two daughters and "Grandalf" to two granddaughters, I love using Courtney and other powerful women in metal like Tatiana Shmailyuk, and Brittney Slayes as examples to make sure that all of my girls know that they can do anything they are willing to work for. Bravo, Courtney, this was beautiful in every way.
Grandalf might be the best name yet, love it!
If I ever become a grandfather, I will forever refuse to respond to anything other than Grandalf lmao
This is the purest thing I have ever read.
@6One5 Got Down if you're implying that I'm saying that all women aren't powerful, you missed my point completely, but I'll forgive you on the grounds of your apparently narrow fundamentalist outlook. To each their own.
@6One5 Got Down ... but I'm an atheist.
I was so amazed how she switched so easily from even angelic-like voice to a powerful dont-fuck-with-me voice/scream and even her postures. Her face transformed. Lived it!
The fry screams at the end gave me chills. Those were Sam Carter level fries! It's been a long time since I've felt chills like that. Insane skill. One of the best metalcore vocalists of our time.
Howard Jones is the best metalcore vocalist. It's not open for discussion nor "opinion". 😌
@@asscher10 what about Will Ramos or Alex Terrible?
@asscher10 taking life a bit seriously bud
@@asscher10his radio show is hilarious.
She is SO talented. Her voice is haunting.
Agree 🤘
An amazing voice! Goosebumps very talented
I don’t like this music but she makes it sound so fucking good. Her voice is perfect for this any other person I don’t like it Because it doesn’t sound good but her music with her voice is top-tier
True
takes me back to amy lee on haunted album very good
I always use Courtney's one take performances to get my friends into this band. So far 100% success rate. Love you guys and can't wait to see you early next year in LA
Cam Battle? GO!
@@Camersan Cam BAM attack!
My friend did the same with me😂 didn't fail
You should try Tallah's singer one take performances. They are addictive
I saw them at blue ridge rock fest and they did NOT disappoint
omg why am i just discovering this now
The control and range is INSANE!!! This song is a certified banger 🔥🔥
Can we get a 10 hour loop of that last 30 seconds? My god. Those screams, the changes, the sounds... just perfection.
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN
it's on loop here... maybe 18th time in a row now...
I would listen to the whole thing. I can’t get enough
yes yes yes and yes
Go see Spiritbox live while you can. Courtney’s vocal cords have an expiration date. You just can’t do that much awesome forever.
The ending is actually insane. The ability to sing snd scream fluidly like this takes serious skill.
no hate, but that`s not true. Its just a bit practice. Everyone can do that.
@@dom3827 something tells me that you are both wrong. its not impossible, and no - not everyone can do it. lets just leave it at that.
The only two I have been able to hear do this is Courtney and Devin Townsend. That's all who come to mind atm!
@@adverbs626 thats why i said nearly impossible sheesh
Chad gray from mudvayne in 2001 is the God of this
Seeing her go from soft notes to heavy scream and back is just mind blowing... she is definitely gifted.
I'm still begging for this version on spotify. It's so amazing! I'd love a one takes EP because they were all amazing. It's unreal how much range she has, and it keeps getting better
3:26 the way she transitions between singing and screaming, and pitches her screams perfectly is INSANE. Only other vocalist I can think of that can do it that smoothly live is Chester Bennington.
Dan Tompkins has gotten to be VERY good at it as well, of Tesseract
come on - the great Tatiana Shmayluk rules (Jinjer)
@@Sk8foxx When did Chester ever pull of anything like this?
Underoath probably the pioneer tbh
@@Daniel-vu4qu Check Linkin Park playing QWERTY live in 2006. The sequence of screams and cleans is a bit more spaced out tho, it's not the exact same as that "be" we heard here
Damn. Modern metal singers seems to be one upping each other constantly nowadays, Courtney, Alex Terrible, Tatiana, Will Ramos etc. Just a constant onslaught of talent and technique, and we all get to just enjoy all of it.
Will is just pure filth nailing everything, dang he is good
Evolution ❤️
We need the Viral Metal tour in 2022 with Jinjer, Slaughter to Prevail, Spiritbox and Lorna Shore
Flo from landmvrks and Noah from Bad Omens should also definitely be mentioned. Both those guys are so incredible, especially if you check out their recent live stuff!
@@tetsuyakuroko7608 don’t forget Ben from Shadow of Intent!
Just watched The Charismatic Voice analyze this, had tears in my eyes by the end. Looking forward to the song without breaks.
Well done good souls!
God bless.
Her video lengths are getting out of control. A 30 minute "analysis" (i.e. rewind/replay) for a 4 minute song? GTFO!
Man, Courtney's just a role model at this point, i can't wrap my mind around just how much i aspire to be as good as a vocalist, i just love her.
Who else has already watched it 10 times and relooped the end 100 times ?
2:35 gets me every time with this video specifically, goosebumps and teary eyes, no idea why 😅
That last 30 seconds sold me.
🤯🤯🤯 She makes it look so effortless but I’ve never heard anyone sing and scream that beautifully before
The only other singer that I have seen do it this effectively and effortless is Daniel Tompkins from Tesseract. His vocal sing-throughs are a sight to behold. I wonder if she took a page from his book since I know Spiritbox is influenced by Tesseract. The amount of control Dan and Courtney display is masterful.
Chester Bennington
check out Jinjer. Tatiana’s vocals are the 7th wonder of the world.
Jinjer lead singer Tatiana Shmailyuk gives her a run for her money but spiritbox is right behind them
@@zachcole4570 Tyler Carter
holy hell- the way she alternates between the scream and clean vocals from word to word near the end is magic. so impressive and hard to do
It is really not hard to do at all from the perspective of a singer.
@@weebsarecringe2102 Just do it man.
@@W4rr4X doing it almost daily
everytime i watch it i get chills
@@weebsarecringe2102 I def can't do it, but more power to you!
I'm 37 yrs old. YOU LITERALLY GAVE ME THE HEART JITTERS. That transition oof 10000% best thing ever
shes got such a badass combo of vocals. the power and precision, you can feel her passion thru the vocals.
I’m so obsessed!
Singing like a Siren, screaming like a Demon. Courtney never ceases to amaze me with her vocals.
She is on fire
pls the way i showed my dad this song and he paused it, looked me in the eyes and in the most dead serious tone imaginable, said: "She's not the one screaming. It's the demon that's in her."
and this is why i keep my music to myself ;-;
@@gerardwayseyeliner8911 damn
It's the build up to pump herself up, for me. That was beast.
I feel you. The one during the breakdown was beast, the one at the end was pretty sexy ngl.
She is top 3 female vocalists, she is crazy powerful, has great transitioning, and she’s absolutely gorgeous 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🔥
Can we be friends and talk about Courtney?
She is more fine than a frog hair!
I've watched this 12 times EASY. It never fails to amaze me. I'll NEVER get tired of this, it's BRILLIANT. The way the instrumental unravels, and her absolutely dynamic voice. Those end vocal fry screams and how CLEAN she changes to her normal voice is.... absolutely unbelievable.
The last chorus makes me cry a little bit, she alternates from her angelic voice to her vocal fries so seamlessly.
Dude I saw the clip on IG yesterday literally just the end and it got me lol
@@christophergalvez6975 same here lol
I tear up every time I listen. 🤷🏽
I think I replayed this song like 10 times today
I read this through teared up eyes and was instantly vindicated.
It's crazy that she sounds better on the 1 takes than on recorded versions. Sooo talented.
Lol. She sounds pretty much the same minus the effects and overlays.
It's the same on "Rule of nine". The 1 take is so much better !
@@ericsmith8129 that's the point. Raw Courtney is the best.
Thank you TikTok!! I would have never heard this amazing voice without you!! I’ve watched this video probably 20 times today lol
Wow, such a smooth transfers from that beautifull sweet voice, to those growls and screams. Masterpiece! 🤩
How is it possible that *This* sounds better than the studio release version?!?! Damn this is good. Can't wait to check them out live!!!
Exactly
Too much processing. Raw emotion removed.
I saw them in Chicago last summer when they opened for Limp Bizkit. They were really good.
They were insanely good live!!!! Just saw them in San Antonio!!
Have seen Them opening for After the Burial. It was sick!
the last 20 seconds of this where she switches between cleans and screams almost effortlessly is amazing the control she has with her vocals and range is next level shes got more then most of the male vocalists in the scene right now cant wait to see you guys at download 2022
I've got a question. Why is it always important to point out that someone is female or male? I mean she is an amazing vocalist who is maybe better then most other vocalist out there. Isn't this all that is important?
When she hits the last “could all be yours” blows my mind. So much power, strength in it, but it sounds so hollow at the same time.
@@TrueFireForest94 because the metal scene has always been a male-dominated industry, like many others. And if you've ever read any history, you'd know how hard it is for women to break into largely male industries. It's not an insult, it's a major compliment. Stop trying to change the narrative with your ignorance.
@@xSJNxJewBoy For real, it sounds like clean-scream-clean-growl all in one breath. I've never heard anything like it. Unbelievable
The fact that you think she has more range really shows how little music from the metal scene you actually listen to, in fact I could easily name a few people off the top of my head with range she doesn't even come close to.
After this performance I watched a 30h lecture series on general relativity to understand how much power a dying sun holds… My conclusion: Courtney nailed it.
This version hits differently than the album version. The screams are where it's at.
It’s so odd that from 3:25 and on, she literally makes my eyes swell and want to cry because of how god tier her vocal control is
Took the words right out of my mouth, man. I literally teared up from that point up to the end. I wish the studio version was just as raw
IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!
Yes! Exactly!
Bruh. This comment ruined the studio version for me lmao.
I thought that I had been the only one who touched the soul of this song and more with that epic ending
Holy FUCK. Courtney is peak metal. One of the best vocalists out there, no doubt.
Jinjers vocalist giving her a run for her money
@@BOOGiNS No need to pit them against one another
@@TheDSasterX Exactly this
When I first heard Spiritbox, I didn't think they would make it but I was so wrong. Like how did this get so good. Just wow.
I would watch a thousand of these. Courtney has to be one of the most talented vocalists alive today.
There’s a Mara effect one that’s so good too with the whole band
Such. Passion. Such authenticity. Hands down artistry. Literally teary eyed.
Incredibly talented band, and Courtney is a Siren. Her voice is just haunting.
Ive always said she was a siren!! She lures you in with her beautiful, angelic singing and then rips you apart with her demonic screams.. and it's effin GLORIOUS!!
i would run screaming into the sea to my doom for her.
Might be one of the greatest vocalists in metal...hell, in music!
Courtney's voice is the climax of vocal evolution in modern metal. Puts pop singers to shame honestly. It's a great time to be alive in a world with Spiritbox.
Not sure what it is but every couple of weeks I HAVE to come listen to this again. Blows the album version out of the water
Same here! THIS is what i show my friends to intro them to Courtney and Spiritbox.. sooooo goooood!
her rule of nines one take performance with the "i did it" at the end is also better than the album version
Definitly doesnt blow the album version away but its insanly amazing!
@@rylanlittle261 firmly disagree, to each their own
I do the same. My kids ask to watch it a lot as well. My 3yr old daughter asks for this (blue hair one) and Rule of Nines (Pink hair one) on a pretty regular basis and watches them both completely transfixed 😍
Damn. Just damn. Courtney never fails to impress. The way she just glares at the mic, like she's coming after it, regardless of whether the next hit is harsh or smooth, it's always beautiful and perfect in that moment.
There's many artists for me that have touched my heart. But very few have had the power to touch my soul. She inspires me to be proud of who I am.
Damn homey, maybe you should try asking her out...
@@g.g.7058 That would be a very immature first impression as a fan. I'd much rather learn from her and thank her for sharing her art with the world first.
Ever heard of projecting 😂
@@ManyLegions88 Whatever you say Mr. Suckup.
I dunno why this version gets me so emotional but DAMN this live version is powerful!
This version needs to be on spotify/itunes/etc ASAP
She is 🔥, always , lets get it
I got the high if you got the low🪔
There are 7 people who disliked this. Unbelievable.
What’s up, Youtuuuube!!!??
Fire high water low
The best female metal vocalist lately.
The amount of growth Courtney has done since this band's inception is fucking nuts. The pitched screams in the end section are Sam Carter level amazing and I had no idea Courtney could do them, let alone do them with that much control. I fucking love this band.
The amount she’s grown since IWresteldABearOnce is crazy!
@@devinbender8428 try Unicron.. they were a guilty pleasure back in the day. Then she joined IWABO.. was not a fan of her first album but hail Mary blew my mind. Was so happy when spiritbox was formed and they've just gotten better
I 100% thought that part was modified when listening to the studio version.
What in the fuck.
yeah true. Wasn't really a fan of this band purely because I thought her screams were pretty bad... but she's improved a lot. Her screaming is close to on par with most metal bands now. In saying that tho, I still think she uses it as a gimmick because her singing isn't good enough to stand on it's own. It's a shame the much more talented female vocalists of the past like Angela gossow an otep never got as much attention
Her vocal control is absolutely out of this world
I love @2:45 when she squares up like she about to beat someone up. Absolutely love it! So much force ❤
Favorite part! Always come back to this and immediately makes my day everytime
My fav is the look she gave at 2:35 which really showed the duality of the voice she has. Even if you don't know the song, you just *know* she's gonna scream her heart out
Courtney is quickly establishing herself as a definitive queen of metal 🤘
Lol
Not even close.tatiana from jinjer holds that title
its funny because if she wasn't hot no one would even care
*the queen

Love that Part
Requesting edit
I've watched this at least 1,000 times by now
I've just recently been introduced to Spiritbox. I don't normally listen to anything from any genre labeled *"core"... Spiritbox has made themselves the exception. That's mostly because of Courtney LaPlante's INCREDIBLE vocals.
The way she ended this... I listened to a lot of videos here at first. Then, same day, I dropped the funds for their entire discography on Bandcamp. I heard the album version of this track a couple of times and I kept thinking... "That's not how it's supposed to end. I thought she screamed half of the words at the end?"
Then I realized that this was NOT a video of the album recording and that this was unique to this video.
But EVERYTHING from 3:30 on... I really honestly wish they had ended the album version with it. It's such a POWERFUL ending and it encompasses SO much anguish, disappointment and, in my interpretation of the lyrics, foreboding. It's just...SO fucking powerful.
Well... Courtney's voice is the ONE thing that broke me and finally made me give in to trying to listen to some newer "Metal" with a more open mind... Just in case I've missed anything else that's even HALF as incredible as Spiritbox is.
Just... Unbelievable. I hope that I might meet her one day to give her my humble thanks in person.
I have NEVER, in 30+ years of listening to heavy music, heard singing and screaming so seamlessly intertwined. Stunned.
She’s a fantastic vocalist. I’m just upset that most of the music sounds so generic, but this song is very well written.
Then you really should check out Devin Townsend for example, he can do this aswell. ;)
Both are amazing
Courtney is amazing but also check out jinjer for a similar experience!
Its been done in the mainstream. Chester bennington did the same
3:38 That can not be easy, wow. just wow. It was like you spent the whole song waiting for that, you're almost bouncing as you lean into your screams like youre hyping yourself for that crescendo.
It takes talent to make it look easy.
the hardest part is probably learn to scream in a proper way, once you get that it becomes second nature.
@@sweiland75 Practice*
Dont want to say it's super easy but switching from true chord to false chord (talking/singing to screaming) is not hard if you know how to scream. It takes time and she obviously is a master at this but its not thaaat hard.
Source: Im a hobby vocalist screaming for 6 years.
The power and altering between cleans and scream...goosebumps. The rocking when shes gearing up for another go is like a pacing panther. Love this version.
The last 30 seconds all ways gives me goosebumps!!! So excited I get to see them and korn in a few months!!!
This. Is. Insane. It's just blowing my mind how flawless this performance is. The ending... chills! Courtney, you are one incredible vocalist. Also it's amaaaazing to see how much you've developed your voice over the last few years. Your phrasing, style of screams and nuances you put into everything - you could call it an own genre. With Spiritbox you guys for sure have created your own genre. This is what the scene needed. Thank you so much for your music 💙
I have never heard anyone sing with these kind of nuances. Just try to sing along...sounds like a different song coming out of anyone else's mouth. It really is like an own genre
The way Courtney sways back and forth before she screams, and the passion she puts into it... I can only imagine how powerful seeing them live would be! I truly hope I get to experience it some day!
They're awesome live
the swaying is the intensity/emotion building up in her.
unique and beautiful voice! Sang my whole life and can realize talent....crazy thing, didnt hear of Spiritbox until I started listening to Octane 2 years ago. Love hard rock!
I know everyone's already said it, but that "it could AAAALL be YOURS" is insane. Inspiring as hell.
I cry screamed at the end. Was not expecting her to scream those parts and I about fainted from happiness
She’s definitely vocally trained and her feel for vocal control
Is unreal. Bravo
No, she has never had any vocal training at all...
No shit, Sherlock
She’s a fucking literal goddess. My goosebumps have goosebumps.
We all rate this video highly, really good, awesome
good as it is, it can still be better. hope they keep pushing themselves
Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, the chorus gives me chills and has an amazing uplifting tone. The line "feel the weight of a martyr" just hits my 33rd vertebrae.
Imagine the weight of it all man…
Her vocals are insane! How she goes from harsh to clean vocals without breaking is impressive
The way she converted that screaming note straight into a beautiful singing note at 3:31 gave me shivers. I'm a folk/country/pop singer but I've always said metal is one of the most expressive genres out there. InFuckingCredible Courtney! ❤
Gotta love that “fight me, bro” energy during the breakdown. Killer performance!
She wrestled a bear once dude.
Courtney channelling her Inner Henry Rollins
Yes! I was like, "she definitely takes boxing classes..."
God, I get goosebumps every time she does her screams. Courtney will always be one of my favorite vocalists.
Not one of, Courtney will always most definitely be my favorite vocalist. Everyone else pales in comparison. Greg from The Dillinger Escape Plan is my second pick.
@@infectedstray2188 So Greg pales in comparison? Lol, trippin homie.
He's the only one imo who doesn't. I find it rare to find any vocalist who can master both clean vocals and harsh vocals. Courtney and Greg have done it.
Dude, the way she interweaves the screaming with the clean vocals at the end, and also somehow finds a way to simultaneously scream/sing at the exact same time... I've never seen that. Literally, never.
I always come back to this 🙏 such an awesome performance! The transitions are amazing 🤩
DAAAAAAAAAMMNNNN the way you ended the song mixing your cleans at that mid high tone with the very potent delicious screams was SICK!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Something I don't see mentioned as much as the incredible technical ability and development that Courtney has is her lyricism. One of my favourite writers on paper, let alone colouring those lyrics with the level of performance we get treated to in these videos.Theres such duality between vulnerability and furious, righteous, raw outward emotion. There's a slew of music out there that sits at one side of the pendulum or the other, but there's spectrums in single songs with this band. And theres moments to me where the most vulnerable lyrics are delivered with hair raising aggression, and lines that are sung softly that are more cutting than any drop or breakdown. Beautiful and incredibly skillful writing.
Well said. Her phrasing is incredibly dynamic, delicate, powerful and her shot selection is intelligent. Where to kick up the aggression to lift the segment. There’s provocative nuance to the lyrical content that is undeniably beautiful, tragic.
Couldn’t agree more! I feel like Silent Planet also fits this bill. The vocals match the emotion of the lyrics in order to better convey the intent.
Even the way she puts emphasis on certain words & syllables in her lyrics is unique. She’s definitely a great storyteller.
Few bands can actually give you goosebumps from this level of talent and emotion.
Spiritbox is one of them. 🤘
I don't know _how_ many times I've watched/heard this video now. So good.
