Originally formed in Victoria, British Columbia, Spiritbox have become one of the defining names in modern heavy music. Founded in 2017 by married couple Courtney LaPlante and Mike Stringer, the band’s full line-up comprises LaPlante and Stringer alongside drummer Zev Rose and bassist Josh Gilbert.
Blending metalcore power with progressive metal precision and atmospheric scope, Spiritbox have built a sound that feels deliberate, layered and emotionally charged.
Spiritbox thrive on contrast. Downtuned, technically sharp riffs sit against shimmering textures and expansive production. Courtney LaPlante moves effortlessly from haunting melody to full-force aggression, while Mike Stringer’s guitar work anchors the band’s dynamic shifts with clarity and weight.
It is modern heavy music with depth — intricate without becoming indulgent, heavy without sacrificing atmosphere.
