Mike and Courtney are husband and wife goals. Living the dream and making ethereal music together. ❤

those fans criticizing the sequencing are killing my buzz. I’m insanely stoked for you guys :) your guitar riffs make me happy. your vocals make me happy. your music as a whole is getting me back into metal! You’ll kill it live boo

I love her talking voice.

I'm freaking old (over 50), and think this is the best metal vocal album I've heard all year. So incredibly cohesive and just fantastic. Don't care if it was sampled, or made in tupperware and tinfoil.

I am 37, and I don't care either. I am too old to justify what I like anymore lol. If I like it, I like it. The album was 👍 I loved it, and it's on every device I have. So us oldies will just keep on keeping on lol

Mainstream recognition is absolutely vital to our genre’s survival. Without it, investments aren’t made which is exactly how we got in the rut of everything sounding alike. The same plug ins and virtual instruments make for very similar music and a consequential lack of interest. Congrats to Spiritbox for achieving the charts!

So true! Metallica was huge for pushing Metal back into the mainstream, and launched a wave of new bands etc. Pop and Hip-Hop have nothing new to offer anymore. The best days for both of those genres are stuck in the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. Metal needs to be looked at a lot closer once again!

I couldn't agree more. Having a band re-define what people call "radio rock" is what we need. Seeing bands like Spiritbox being played on Octane gives me hope that more bands of the scene get that mainstream recognition and I can turn on Octane without hearing 5FDP every day.

I was wondering what Mike Stringer's demeanor would be like. He has such a laid back way about him compared to his riffs. Cool how he's a guitarist and his last name is Stringer.

SO happy for Spiritbox and the amazing year they've had! Can't wait for what 2022 and the future brings them 💙💙💙

im an 80s kid. i rarely explore the latest artists. but when i discovered Spiritbox, i listened to them for weeks, almost exclusively! I cant even sleep without listening to my playlist of them. Hey are phenomenal. They deserve to be one of the legends in the music history. Thanks for the music guys! 🎶 Enjoy your journey to greatness! 🤘🤘🤘

This album means the world to me :) thank you guys for writing incredible, heartfelt lyrics and for being so poetic yet honest. I love you guys I’ll be at your show in March!

Dude... The Eternal Blue album for me sounds like magic and everytime I'm listening to every song I feel like I'm floating or I'm in the astral world✨

It's the ethereal nature of that whole album and how they perfectly incorporate that with Courtney's voice. It's very enchanting at times.

Cool interview! 🔥

I cannot say how many times I've listened to the album straight through. The effortless transitions between the first 3 songs are incredible. I didn't care for heavy metal before them. Thanks for opening me up!

I listened to metal for a long time when I was growing up. Stopped it for a bit and you guys got me back in a big way! Huge huge fan! You were a covid blessing. Have a ton of your merch, vinyl, and hope to see you Feb 2022.

I absolutely love the idea that the songs for them change from the artist song to the listeners song. That is an amazing interpretation of the gift that is music. I cant wait to see you guys live and am very excited to hear whats next.

Spiritbox are probably one of the best modern metal bands right now.

This album is amazing! It’s been a while since I’ve loved an album start to finish. Can’t wait to hear more from them.

I looovveddd the sequencing!! It’s a beautifully ordered masterpiece from top to bottom! When I first listened the whole way through, it really took me on a whole ass journey💙🤍 you can feel the intention and harmony w each track flowing to the next. thank you for creating one of my all time favorite albums and for existing you guys, i cannot WAIT to see you live and continue to watch you evolve😍😛😁😁😁

Found these guys a few weeks ago. Awesome songs, wish them all the success life has to offer ^_^

I just found this band. The instruments are so atmospheric and ethereal, and her vocals make me feel tingly. Very cool band 🔥

I absolutely adore this album! It’s everything I could have hoped for and more! Spiritbox are one of my favourite bands and I want them to know how much their music means to a lot of us 💙

Can’t wait to see where you guys go from here. Stay humble and much love 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I enjoyed this interview a lot. You’re a way cool down to earth couple & great musicians. You are as unique as the music. Listening to it and then hearing it live is quite an experience. This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. These questions (and the answers too, wow) made Spiritbox even more interesting. I’m a single father of an awesome autistic son. I’m a school bus driver - that is rewarding but does get intense at times. This is one of those bands that inspires me to keep playing guitar and keep finding my own groove - not only in music but in life. I’ve always been a fan of artists who create art for the sake of what they’re communicating to the world. Music is one of the things that makes people feel the human experience. You really got down deep to the heart of what really matters simply by having an appreciation for Spiritbox.

Every song in 'Eternal Blue' is amazing, I can listen to this album over and over again.

I heard them a year ago and loved them but I'm just now listening to all their stuff and I'm obsessed.

There are moments in this album that sound so seamless. Interwoven industrial beats and ambient melodic melodies mix with heavy drums and guitar riffs. Gives it a very good theme.

What a great interview. Low key, good solid questions, great responses. Nice work

Just so proud of these 2 been a fan since 2019 :D

Thanks Spiritbox, if you're reading. You deserve the success. I heard you say you're fed up with everyone saying how awesome you are, etc, so whatever it is you're doing, please keep doing it! I had a ticket for Manchester 4 days after your tour was cancelled because of the pandemic. I'll be there when you make it back to tour the UK.

This album is a got-dayum masterpiece and FEELS like an album. It's heavy and goes real heavy but then pulls back into ethereal beauty. Stoked to see them in LA this Thursday at the Wiltern!!

Excellent interview by Lauryn Schaffer all the Best to Spirit Box

Specifically, the decisions to open Sunkiller, Hurt You, Yellow Jacket, to go Silk in the Strings to Holy Roller and to close with Constance are perfect. Wait, The Summit is also perfect... wait, the whole sequence is as well-thought out as a Tool album.

Anyone complaining about the sequencing has no clue what they're talking about. There's no other order this album could have possibly been laid out in, it's perfect.

Their range as a band and her range as a singer is what makes them so special. The bass slaps, the guitar and rip hard or be melodic. The damn drums are even great. Love them. Silk in the strings is my new favorite.

Keep making music for yourselves... the masses will latch on to songs they like and criticize the ones they don't. It's all for you... make it fun for you. Love y'all from Texas

Big fan, and I have never been this hooked on a metal band before, like ever lolol All the best on your future progression and looking fwd 100% to your next line up. Congrats!! All the support from me in Scotland!! 😁😁😁

I love Mastodon and because of them I started following Loudwire, and now I love Spiritbox. Great job Loudwire!

I can't believe I'm gunna see them with Mastadon and Ghost. Is it frowned upon to ask for an encore from the opening band? Lol

The sequencing is what impressed me the most, about this album - it really tied the album together and allowed the amazing production to shine, as amazing as it did. The flow was flawless. It didn’t have the clunkiness, majority of albums have, when switching from one track to the next. I, fully, believe Eternal Blue set such a fantastic example, for exemplary album production, truly.

was front row during their set in august, first show post covid, absolutely mind blowing couldnt of had a better time.

I love this album. I've been listening to this album everyday. Keep up the great work can't wait to for the next one. Hopefully you guys come to El Paso. 🤘🤘

I just learned about this band TODAY!! They popped up on my Pandora Jinjer station and I live here now

Your songs are amazing! Literally so much fun and a good challenge to cover also 🥰

Much deserved. Spiritbox is an amazing band!

Very special group. Talented, smart and level headed. I hope you guys shoot to the moon. I’m here for it 🍻🤟🤟

i remember hearing boat paddle for the first time and embracing my amazement courtney is such a vocalist props to spiritbox

They absolutely need to get bigger so they can do shows with bigger production and provide the visuals that their music deserves.

CANNOT WAIT FOR THE TOUR!!!!

Their album is awesome. They’re awesome. The future is bright for them and the genre.

One of the best bands to exist right now. Support these guys and give them the recognition they deserve!

Love this band.

I love their music. All bands need to believe in their music and stay true to what makes them happy. Stay true to your music the rest is what it is.

Both albums are spectacular. I can't wait to follow them more, I was a fan of the stuff they did with IWABO, and the music of Spiritbox is just so groove heavy and intense and emotional. Seriously Eternal Blue is fucking amazing. Can't wait to see y'all on tour!

They are a WONDERFUL freaking band. So talented, all of them. So happy for them that they are achieving the success and recognition they deserve. New fan here; been listening about a month, but I'm so impressed by the entire catalogue so far that I don't think I'll ever not be a fan again. Can't wait to see them live here at some point in the near-ish future!

I have enjoyed Eternal Blue so much these past few days, I hope they come to LA sometime

Ahhh🖤when they mentioned INK, I nearly lost it!! I love both bands so much.

Been buying albums since 85. Don't buy many any more but had to have this one!

courtney hands down is my favorite female vocalist and songwriter in the metal scene right now. perhaps in a very long time. also, heard she lived in maine where i live for a little while which is pretty cool!

Though this isn't my personal favorite record of the year, I do really enjoy it, and I'm proud of them. It's well written and accessible, but still heavy and meaningful. They're all very talented and seem like a great group of people.

I fell in love at first listen. Also, heard more about spiritbox from nik nocturnal. Keep it up and love how you both have such a good attitude towards it all.

Let’s goo!!

I love this band. One of my favs.

Loved the sequencing it's perfect

Just seen them at LOUDER THAN LIFE in Louisville they tour the place down !!!! 160,000 .... Body count, I got to meet Mike in the head bangers bar and shook his hand probably 10 times and talked for at least 15 minutes one of the nicest and soft spoken person I've ever met I absolutely love spirtbox top 5 favorite bands of all time .......

Had to cancel some shows. Go on their website and buy the merch!!!! Let's GO! See ya next time. Love from Ohio.

Love what they are doing!

This is definitely what the Metal community needs for sure🤟🏻

Just saw these guys 2 days ago (9.6.22) opening for Ghost. They did a 20 minute set and were quite good. I liked them enough to come looking for them on youtube, if that says anything. And they seem like down to earth people too.

Lauryn is mesmerizing 😍

A masterpiece album. Always on repeat. Most heard songs in 2021 for me...

huh...I loved the sequencing, literally cant imagine it being another way

I remember the first time I stumbled onto Spiritbox I miraculously landed on the Belcarra music video, I was like...WTF is this and who is this lady dancing funny to metal xD. After my second time coming across the video I was like holy shit this song is fucking sick and heavy, and then I went down the Spiritbox rabbit whole. They only had the first two ep's out which kinda bummed me out cause I wanted more Spiritbox. I think they're a huge inspiration in my musical journey, love learning their songs too. So glad they've blown up so much and are always making sick fucking music \m/ Keep doing what you're doing!!

I listen to Sun Killer every day. So amazing

GREAT BAND AND GREAT ALBUM Spiritbox pure beauty 🤘

Hands down album of the year!

Eternal blue is awesome, it reminds me of 90's early 2000's metal, those were the days.

They are blowing up and I ain’t talking musically. Cardio stat!

Courtney is absolutely awesome 🤘

You guys are the best

I’m really diggin this band and EB is such a good album 🔥 I don’t know about changing the genre, but I’m excited for the future to see where they take this. Their not reinventing anything.

Very well Deserve keep on rockin you guys !

My fave band!

Killer album. Keep goin.

i will pay whatever to see you guys in germany some time soon

Love the new stuff and the old stuff. Like if a style like Trust Fall or The Mara Effect III on the second album would be insane

Amazing itnerview !

Such a queen

Of all the things you could criticize about the album, how the hell are people criticizing the sequencing? It's perfect. I can't even tell when one song ends and another begins. Maybe there's so little to criticize from such a good album that they fixate on something as insignificant as sequencing.

The sequencing was what really caught my attention, the first time I heard this album - it’s absolutely immaculate. I’d say the top thing I listen for, when checking out and album/band for the first time, is their sequencing. Majority of the time, I’m pretty disappointed- which, is often why I don’t listen to albums all the way through. If an album’s, simply, gonna feel like a playlist of the same band, where it seems there isn’t much consideration to the flow - I might as well put it in the order I want; what difference does it make? One of the best metal album sequencing - and all around album; as well as my very first metal album, I ever purchased.. Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies.

You should add the name of the questions in the scroll bar like every modern media. It really ease the view.

This band is insanely talented. One of the best bands around. They're blowing up so quickly. When you form in 2017, then have covid hit 2020 and be out of commission all of that time then to this is awesome. I can't wait to see them. People have their own opinions but there's very few bands that have the same sound as they do. I discovered them in 2019 and couldn't believe what I was hearing. The first song I heard was the Mara Effect 1 and I couldn't stop listening from there. That's one of my favorite songs and I know this will never not be in my top 3 favorite bands. I have friends and we're all just ready and waiting for a tour and to snatch up tickets as quickly as possible. Everyone in the band compliment each other so well and it's just amazing. Spiritbox deserve all of the recognition and success they deserve. Courtney is honestly one of my favorite people in the world, and all of my comments are 100% genuine. 💣💥

They killed it at the BRRF

I hope they tour asia❤️🤘🇵🇭
