SPIRITBOX Vinilo y CD

Review: Spiritbox returns with a sophomore effort that builds on the band's explosive trajectory. Following their chart-topping debut and Grammy-nominated EP, the band dives deeper into their signature sound, a visceral blend of metalcore intensity and soaring melodicism. Co-produced by Mike Stringer and Dan Braunstein, 'Tsunami Sea' showcases a band firing on all cylinders, their musicality and songwriting prowess reaching new heights. Tracks like 'Soft Spine' and 'Perfect Soul' demonstrate Spiritbox's ability to seamlessly blend crushing riffs with ethereal vocals and intricate arrangements. This is an album that demands to be heard.

Review: Canadian progressive metalcore outfit Spiritbox have become one of the unlikely success stories of the past few years within the metal and hardcore spheres. With huge festival and touring slots and millions of streams, it's a wonder to think how far the members have come since their early days as part of the chaotic mathcore group iwrestledabearonce, with their increasing exposure contrasting greatly against their rhythmic and pummelling grooves as well as enigmatic frontwoman Courtney LaPlante's inhumane shrieks. Riding the rigid momentum of their 2021 debut full-length Perfect Blue into last year's Rotoscope EP, the band are set to capitalise on the now with another bombastic, vicious and succinct statement of intent with The Fear Of Fear. Six new tracks of technical heft and serene melodies, designed to keep the band at the centre of the metalcore conversation while LP2 slowly brews.
