SPIRITBOX Unveils Cinematic 'Soft Spine' Music Video

Grammy-nominated progressive heavy metal mainstays SPIRITBOX have unleashed the cinematic music video for their latest single, "Soft Spine", following its highly anticipated release earlier this month. The video arrives during the band's current North American tour with KORN, adding a visual exclamation point to one of the heaviest tracks of the year.

The "Soft Spine" video takes the band's aggressive energy and transforms it into a stunning visual spectacle. Featuring a dramatic fight scene, the Orie Mcginness-directed video sees goddess-like frontwoman Courtney LaPlante presiding over a brutal battle between cloaked warriors in an otherworldly arena. Epic visual effects bring the carnage to life, while the band performs in various ethereal locations throughout the arena, amplifying the video's cinematic feel.

LaPlante steals the spotlight, not only with her commanding vocal performance but also with multiple striking looks that deliver both face and fashion, complementing the video's hard-hitting intensity.

"Soft Spine" is yet another testament to SPIRITBOX's unstoppable momentum, and the accompanying video raises the stakes for heavy music visuals. Fans can catch the band live as they continue touring with KORN, before heading to Brazil and Mexico City for stadium shows with BRING ME THE HORIZON later this year.

For many artists, a meteoric rise can often mean a sudden plateau. However, for SPIRITBOX, there appears to be no end in sight on their near-constant ascent to the top. Formed in 2017 in the picturesque yet isolated region of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, by vocalist Courtney Laplante and guitarist Mike Stringer, SPIRITBOX would fully cement themselves as a household name in the summer of 2020 with the release of their blistering breakout single "Holy Roller", along with a host of other captivating singles shortly after, resulting in a media firestorm of hype.

With new and existing fans eagerly watching their next move, SPIRITBOX exceeded every expectation imaginable in 2021 with the release of their genre-defining debut studio album "Eternal Blue" via Pale Chord/Rise Records. "Eternal Blue", which debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, kicked open the doors of the heavy metal scene and rewrote the genre's playbook with 12 stunning tracks that incorporated everything from djent and post-metal to infectious synth-laden pop sensibilities and cinematic arrangements, brought fully to life by the inimitable Laplante's ethereal and commanding vocal performances.

The album cycle for "Eternal Blue" saw SPIRITBOX not only grace the covers of esteemed music publications such as Revolver, Alternative Press, Rock Sound and Kerrang!, among many others but would also solidify the band as one of the most in-demand groups in live music today with their one-hundred percent sold out, first-ever headlining tour in support of the album which saw ticket sales over 40,000. The band would also share the stage with seasoned metal veterans such as LIMP BIZKIT and GHOST and win "Best International Breakthrough Band" at the 2021 Heavy Music Awards

In 2022, SPIRITBOX secured highly coveted spots at numerous major U.S. rock and metal festivals and were nominated for two Juno Awards. SPIRITBOX would also round out their current lineup with the inclusion of drummer Zev Rose and bassist Josh Gilbert in addition to releasing their sonically experimental EP "Rotoscope" in June of that year as well as a cross-genre collaboration with dubstep artist Illenium for the track "Shivering".

During another whirlwind year for the band, including a U.S. tour with SHINEDOWN and PAPA ROACH, SPIRITBOX wrote and recorded their critically acclaimed EP "The Fear Of Fear", released in November 2023. The EP features the single "Jaded", which was nominated for "Best Metal Performance" at the 66th annual Grammy Awards. In the same month, the band would make another genre-bending splash with a high-profile collaboration with rapper Megan Thee Stallion for a remix of her song "Cobra".

Whatever comes next for SPIRITBOX, one thing is for sure: expect the unexpected and a firm commitment to creating wholly authentic music with passion, purpose, and constant evolution.Photo credit: Jonathan Weiner

Jess Watches // Sat 12 Oct // Day 379 & Sun 13 Oct // Day 380 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Burn Notice (rw with L) 1x08 Wanted Man

Fiona decides to try bounty-hunting, but then convinces Michael to help prove the man innocent.

Michael/Jeffrey was struggling to walk normally while wearing thong sandals in an early scene and i'm not sure I processed much after that.

Summer Strike (with mum) Ep 7

Yeo-reum and Dae-beom bond as they spend more time together, but their growing closeness leaves Cho Ji-yeong with mixed emotions.

Until the end reveal I thought Jiyeong was A. I would've preferred it tbh. She's so confused and upset because it's actually Yeoreum she wants to be with. A "get out of my school" type thing.

Frasier (with mum) 6x21 When a Man Loves Two Women

Frasier has begun dating Cassandra Stone. Everything is going quite well until Faye Moskowitz comes back to town, remembering how much he enjoyed spending time with her.

Can Frasier please give Amy Brenneman's number to Daphne. I know she'd cherish her. And can she lend me her cropped tye-dye tshirt too.

Agatha All Along 1x05 Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power

With enemies closing in, the coven flees under the light of a blood moon to the next ghastly trial.

Rio: I hate to see her go but I love to watch her leave. Me, controlling the ouija board: G-A-Y

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft 1x01 A Single Step

When a high-tech thief steals a mysterious jade artifact from a Croft Manor, fearless archeological adventurer Lara Croft leaps into action to retrieve it.

I love playing the games, more for the exploring and collecting than the cultural storytelling, so I was aware of what this is. But watching Lara willingly desecrate an ancient temple and beat up the local guardians in the opening scene was still quite jarring. She wore a bi-flag coloured dress so that's one positive, I guess, lol.

Ignore the last option, idk wtf happened there.

belated tuesdaypost

scroll to the bottom for a surprise (puppy)

listening: more twilight mirage, still in the post-miracle of the mirage one-on-one character eps! also the new hunger games episodes of the shrieking shack are really good. i read hunger games not long after it came out and i was ? 10ish? maybe 12? so im a little fuzzy on some of it but i remember enough to yell at my phone when they make predictions lol

reading: nothing :") last wednesday i picked up my mom from the airport and it's just been whirlwind since then. drove ~15 hours total on sunday and monday so finally settling back in at home for the summer.

watching: my mom is really into babylon berlin right now so i've caught a little of that over her shoulder...also watched some bernadette banner and safiya nygaard

making: because of Busy the making really dropped off this week but i brought home an (probably inadvisable) amount of craft supplies/in progress projects so i'm looking forward to doing that. i DO have some photos of the stuff that came out of the pottery kiln tho! i'm not super thrilled with the house glazes she has, they are just kinda mid, so i might get my own glazes...most of the colors didn't come out the way i wanted them to :(

the green one on the left came out ok, definitely not as vibrant as her test chips are, but the middle one was supposed to be a deep plum. that is brown in real life. it is Not purple. sigh. and the one on the right came out okay, the inside of it was supposed to be a nice lilac but it came out sooooo dull, the green vines on the orange came out pretty nice in real life though (photo colors aren't quite like irl and i can't take a better photo because it's back in my apartment lol)

my little eyeball teacup came out okay, the light blue was waaaaay more transparent than i thought it would be so i definitely could have done another layer of it, but the engraved eyes around the outside are very striking. little blue geometrically-glazed ramekin is fine. the overlap in the middle isn't very clean, you can't really see in this photo, but it's not bad.

and then two planters. left one is SO dull compared to what i wanted and i used so many layers of glaze :( i think that one is going to be a gift for my grandma to put her orchid plant pot into. strongly considering drawing some designs on it with a metallic sharpie to jazz it up a bit. the right one is the ONLY one that i really like how the glaze came out of all the things i made lol, it has radishes carved around the outside and it's a gift for a friend who does radish growing research. the red and white on the radishes came out very clean and the background, while not what i was expecting (it's much bluer than the test chips of that specific glaze would have made me think), has some really nice texture and good contrast with the radishes. overall a win.

misc: pubby......ouppy........belly rubs.....his name is benji

he got no eyes...bee wants me to recreate this post with him and is sooooo right to suggest it. puppy zone.

[thesassywitchofthenortheast]

I had already assumed that it wouldn’t be back until the earliest January. So this wasn’t a big surprised. Bonus of having an education in film/tv from almost all angles is that I understand the process, so even if the strike ended tomorrow, they still need to write the (majority of) first half of the season before they can film so as I said. January the earliest.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t get it until fall/summer 2024. Or have a very quick 12 ep season in February - May, when the second half of a season usually airs anyway and then we come back in September 2024 with season 7.

But again it all depends on when the strike ends. Thankfully we already know it got picked up for season 6, and I don’t see it not coming back for a season 7. It’s one of ABC’s most popular shows

The Rookie delayed to 2024 but it was expected given the double strikes.

More opportunities to reimagine Chenford through fanfics.

[lord-rain-master]

no but why did they turn it into a murder mystery thriller all of a sudden at ep 10 😭😭

[dream-thief-forever-amen]

Alright @staytotheend here’s what’s what…

WATCHED (recently enough)

Roommates of Poongduck 304 - really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone - but it didn’t trigger obsession or anything

My Only 12% - cute but not particularly unique or memorable

Old Fashioned Cupcake - looooved it

Love in the Air - loooooved it and am obsessed with it and am still eating it up

KinnPorsche - ultimate obsession show of 2022 triggered absolute neurotic love in my brain

Semantic Error - good, I liked the pissy short boy in particular

Not Me - good, cool concept, more well rounded than most shows, enjoyed watching

Love Mechanics Uncut - got stupidly sucked into this show and loved it week to week

Ghost Host Ghost House - fun and unusual plot, great chemistry, a nice snack show after a long day at work

Coco Milk Shake - like a huge snuggly hug - it was adorable and I’d cut off a finger for a full length production of this super short show

Kabe Koji - exactly what I thought it would be and fun in the chaotic way of Japanese BL - but annoyingly chaste considering the subject

ON AIR SHOWS I’M FOLLOWING

The Director Who Buys Me Dinner - cute, unique plot, but the eps are painfully short

Between Us - loving every ep so far, no complaints

Reborn Rich - I love a good melodrama about rich people being miserable - not a BL

My Tooth Your Love - the couples are cute, it’s entertaining, the dentist is gorgeous… need to watch the last two eps

My School President - gah it’s super cute

WATCHING WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Big Dragon the Series - eh it’s sloppy but sexy

GAP - three eps in and not charmed at all

To My Star 2 - ahhhh my heart can only take small doses

Oh My Assistant - not bad but it’s not holding me

LAST BINGE

Weak Hero Class 1 - excellent and emotionally damaging… not a BL really unless you squint, which I did. This show made me immediately rewatch Better Days and ExtraCurricular to stay in the secret high school violent chaos theme…

REWATCHING

Love in the Air - on Viki now for the different subtitles but also cause I am crack addicted.

KinnPorsche - must rewatch once before the new year… seems like a perfect way to close out 2022. Fav show of 2022 closely followed by Love in the Air.

PLANNING TO WATCH

The Glory - not a BL but a magnificent revenge melodrama (hopefully)

Only Friends - can’t wait for this!

Be Mine Superstar - looks fun

Eclipse the Series - why haven’t I watched this?

Summer Strike - not a BL but I like the male lead and it looks relaxing

The New Employee - gonna wait til there’s a few more eps out before I start it

You’re My Sky - someday

Remember Me - curious about this one

Eternal Yesterday - very intrigued by the premise

My Beautiful Man 2 - a sequel?!!! Yay!!!!

[kdramaxoxo]

Girl, I had the exact same reaction while watching Summer Strike ep 10. And it hurts even more since this is a 12-episode drama so we have only one week left with these amazingly adorable people (even tho clearly everything will get resolved) but still! Why kdrama land? Why only 12 episodes?

--SUMMER STRIKE SPOILERS--

Ooof it's ROUGH.

I'm only 10 minutes in and the drama is laying the unfair guilt onto our main THICK. I mean I already know what our soft puppy's response is going to be because yesterday's preview but GEEZ. And yeah this is definitely going to delay the romance :(

Also, why give us grandmas??? Every time a kdrama presents a sweet grandma it's only a matter of time... *SOB* I was really hoping she'd make it to the end in that fun slice-of-like-see-we-didn't-kill-her-after-all way.

some parts of summer strike ep 6 were kinda disappointing. i didnt like how they handled bom and her dad's situation at all. the way they screamed at her for hating on her dad and wanting him to go to jail, saying she was being selfish. especially that it came from her brother who knows everything thats been happening at home. yeah, he punched him once... and?? bom was the victim and she literally just woke up after getting stabbed but they made her feel guilty for wanting her dad to go to jail. some parents just dont deserve forgiveness. plus he never even apologized

My #1 post of 2022

is it just me or was money heist korea was kinda disappointing? i mean it started off nice and strong. i loved the first episode. the north-south korea unification context was great but other than that, it was pretty much similar to the original. the plot twists weren't even that surprising cause i've alr seen them. it just didn't make me feel strong emotions as much as the original did. tried not to compare but i just can't brush off the big difference on how both series left an impression to me.

the portrayal of some characters were also a tiny bit disappointing. although most actors did okay, but some were just meh :/. the only actors who left a notable impression for me were berlin, denver, and tokyo's actors. the different korean accents of each character was nice though. idk if all the actors nailed it but it was interesting to learn how they can tell which region each accent was from

anyway i hope the second half will bring new ideas and surprises. but i've alr learned to manage my expectations so i guess i'll just go with the flow. ik i'm still watching it anyway

i kinda feel like ep 12 of summer strike should have been longer to unpack everything.

[kateknowsdramas]

Hello 😊 can i ask you again for gifs with Bom and Jae Hoon from ep 11 and ep 12 of Summer Strike? Thank you 😊

Hi my friend! Thank you for the request! I have one set done and might make another. They're so cute!

[filthyjanuary]

7-12 and 16-20 for the asks!

7. What do you dislike about your favourite season?

i think season 2 is the best, but as i’ve said before, my favourite is 4 solely because the first few eps i watched were from s4. i think season 4 is very solid and even though it’s a season that HURTS BAD because of everything happening between sam and dean, i think the show earns the conflict for the most part. the literal only thing that still haunts me is that the STUPID VOICEMAIL THAT GETS ALTERED IS NEVER ADDRESSED. like i hate more than anything that sam still thinks dean said those things. like i know jared’s said that sam knows dean loves him but i don’t care!!! sam /and/ dean deserve to know the voicemail was changed.

OH also literally everything with anna milton. she deserved better <3 sorry the fridged you and gave part of your arc to a man, queen.

also sam and dean should’ve found out cas let sam out of the panic room.

8. Thoughts on Sam’s demon blood arc

i love sam’s demon blood arc. his hot girl summer! in all seriousness, it makes perfect sense. mystery spot sets it up that sam goes dark when he doesn’t have dean, and s4 is the natural progression of that. i love sam being hellbent on revenge, and the blood drinking was hot sorry not sorry. like obviously the end result wasn’t stellar and the handling of the demon blood as an addiction was handled rather shittily in the show, but overall this arc is near and dear to me and if i couldn’t have the boy king, i’m glad i got this instead. and it brings up some really interesting concepts that get explored really well in fic.

9. Thoughts on the Moc arc

i hate this arc mostly because like dean was terrible...which makes sense, but even after the mark was gone it’s like... he never /really/ pulls himself out of that place. it also just dragged on for FAR too long. like it didn’t need to be like 30 episodes or however long. i do like that it gave us demon!dean being like sexythreatening, and that scene of sam cradling dean’s face and begging him to tell him that he had to kill all those people and just the general sam is dean’s colette of it all. also the end of s10 with sam on his knees and dean telling him to close his eyes is deeply fucked up and i love it for that reason and obviously that happened bc of the MOC storyline.

10. Fave underrated ep

i am highkey obsessed with 1x04 phantom traveller, 2x07 the usual suspects and 4x19 jump the shark and i feel like most people don’t really care about those episodes or bring them up much. phantom traveller is just interesting bc i think the character moments are fun and i am obsessed with plane crashes for some reason. the usual suspects i just adore because it’s really a great exploration of HOW WELL sam and dean know each other and just how alike they are. and unfortunately i really like the cop lady in this one. jump the shark was the second episode of supernatural i ever saw and for some reason something in my brain latched onto adam and never let go. i love him so much (i know it’s not really him in the ep but ukno) and i love how much you learn about sam and dean through it too.

11. Thoughts on BMOL

boring. like...the actors were not good at their accents. they wanted what bela talbot had in s3. i just didn’t find ‘the british are evil’ a compelling storyline in a supernatural show.... like girl i live in real life you don’t need to preach to me about the british. also like they set up ketch to be evil like worse than toni who i already hate because she tortures/sexually assaults sam by having him kill magda i guess? but then they end up redeeming him and he survives longer than both mick (affectionate) and toni (derogatory), like seriously one of the worst Big Bads they’ve ever had.

12. Thoughts on Mary

to be honest, i think bringing her back was kind of a stupid idea in the sense that the ENTIRE SHOW starts because of her death. but i felt like HAVING DONE THAT, trying to deconstruct her image as like this nuclear housewife was compelling and the whole clash of sam and dean who just want their mom versus mary who left her kids as a an infant and a small child and now has these grown men who are older than her needing things she doesn’t know how to give was very interesting. and i wish they’d done more with that. 

16. Any criticisms of their world building/lore

well i think everyone’s said it better than me that they can’t seem to get their stance on monsters straight at all and the show suffers for it. i also hate how like the later seasons especially just blatantly retcon so much. the prime example is the garden of eden in s5 vs s15.... the s5 version was so much more interesting and i hate that they brought it back just to destroy their own lore. the whole concept of the abrahamic god being like the ‘real’ god vs other gods just being minor annoyances didn’t like...make sense or feel good either. i also would’ve loved more exploration of like what the fuck it means to be a vessel and also exploration of other monsters/urban legends. like ok we get it ghosts/demons/vampires/werewolves sure w/e but there’s so much to pull from. it got repetitive and there’s so many other things they could’ve tried. hell the SECOND EPISODE of the show mentions black dogs and we never actually encounter one. or like chimeras... like there’s just plenty to dig into and they just get lazy.

17. What did you like about s15?

15x20 <3 also just...jack....that’s my son! MICHAEL/ADAM IN 15X08!!!! i think there were a couple moments i liked in like...the gambler and last holiday, and i thought belphagor was funny. oh! also sam’s nightmare visions were kinda fun even tho they led back to lucifer :/

18. Thoughts on Lucifer

he was a really excellent and intimidating villain in s5.... and frankly i enjoyed hallucifer as well because sure he was presented comedically but he was a deeply dark presence hanging over sam as a reminder of what he suffered. everything after that...sucked!!! it sucked!!!!! overstayed his welcome, letting him out of the cage again totally nullifies sam’s sacrifice and frankly he lost every smidge of intimidation factor he ever had. he was just annoying and whiny and pointless and sam should’ve killed him <3 fuck that guy.

19. Most uncomfortable moments throughout the show for you?

answered here

20. Define the different eras in a few lines or words (s1-5, s6-7, s8-11, s12-15)

this was meant to be short... and then it wasnt... sorry.

kripke: PEAK SUPERNATURAL. racist AND sexist but like i frankly do not care because the actually storytelling is so GOOD. COHERENT. i long for what could’ve been had the strike not kneecapped s3 and we’d gotten boyking, but hell the arc we DID get... so good. so fulfilling. aesthetics go off the charts. character dynamics so good!!! conflicts are earned!!!! there was a fucking vision here and it was unique and interesting and the show was COMMITTED TO IT. literally iconic television i love her so much. eric kripke needs a therapist but i’m glad he wrote this show instead of going to see one. 

gamble: sera THEE gamble.... overarching storylines kinda weak, but SO FUN! i had fucking fun! soulless sam is a comedian, godstiel was the last time cas was remotely interesting, like!!!! she gave us everything!!!!! gets slandered way too much by this hell fandom like yes the leviathans were stupid but the were FUN and the character moments in s6-s7!!! so good!!!! lots of excellent MOTW eps as well, which... as we know...i love. when the show lost gamble, it lost something great, i’ll die on this hill. i love u #girlboss.

carver: there’s a lot of good here and a lot i despise. dean steadily grows darker throughout the show but there’s like a real VEER into being awful in s9 that the show never recovers from. it makes dean very unlikeable for the rest of its run, mostly by virtue of the show not realizing how unlikeable it’s made dean because it needs him to always be right so the fact that he’s basically turned into john is never like....addressed in any meaningful way. some storylines (MOC!!) dragged on for too long, while others were way too short (TRIALS!!!) but ultimately i think there were some good ideas here and moments i’m fond of. season 11 is Beautiful. i love her so much. there’s some really excellent eps in s11 and the character moments are good.

dabb: i literally hate it here (jack sweetie you are not included in this assessment you’re doing great). it was just stupid. the characterizations of EVERYBODY sucked and fell flat. way too obsessed with pandering to the loudest faction on twitter. took the wreckage of dean that carver left and full destroyed him. like straight up could’ve done something meaningful if they’d bothered to address it at all but they literally didn’t ever make dean be accountable for his actions??? can’t tell u what cas was doing it was so forgettable he obviously had no purpose literally the only scenes i remember were a couple where he’s being cute with jack and that one ep where he and sam go to that old-timey town and sam gets brainwashed. sam like... exists, and his character is intact but it’s only intact because the writers that were left didn’t want to bother giving him anything meaty to do to so the were like *spins wheel* leadership arc that goes nowhere, and he just exists being kind and compassionate and putting up with too much shit. BUT HE HAD REALLY FUCKING EXCELLENT MOMENTS WITH JACK and that alone is why i think it’s worth the slog. sam/jack is my favourite dynamic on the show following sam/dean so...unfortunately based on that.... i can’t just burn the whole dabb era but seriously... way to make every character a hollow, one-dimensional shell.
