First Time Hearing Spiritbox Rule of Nine Courtney Laplante live one take performance (REACTION)

[@wolfhawk1999]

Another fun one is "Circle with Me." For something a little calmer, there is "Constance." Have tissues ready for that one tho

[@digitalmouse3314]

All tracks fire Constance is my listen too when I miss my grandmother

[@michaelpalma6346]

Courtney and Tatiana from the band Jinjer are both metal goddesses, so talented

[@satanictaffy]

well, Tatiana is....

[@Michael............]

Jinjer is overrated and generic

[@ivannaydenov4051]

You should check Chaney Crabb 😜

Spiritbox - The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound. This is what sold me on them. Im a music lover of all types.

[@joshwilliams565]

I listen to it every day. Wish they would put it on the back of an album.

[@joevahkiin2329]

THIS. Its a masterpiece 💙

[@gamedevmoto]

Mara@ Silverside for a musical rollercoaster epic. Blessed Be for more like this. Circle With Me is similar but with some very familiar modern pop techniques in the vocal comp.

[@wolfhawk1999]

It's so long, tho. I don't know why everyone suggests it

[@joevahkiin2329]

@@wolfhawk1999 if a song is long you know it's a fing banger. Same with Reptile by Periphery.

[@kuneefay]

The vocal one take of their song Circle With Me really showcases her and the bands growth as writers and hers as a vocalist.

[@bradkohl99]

Spiritbox is kind of taking over the metal world the last year. While no two tracks really sound the same, they all have a certain cohesion to them that makes you say “yep, this is Spiritbox.” Courtney is actually quite often on vocal rest when not recording or performing, as she had a growth on her vocal chords. She is quite a bit different from most people who do harsh vocals, and is about 30% louder than pretty much anyone else with no amplification.

[@jennifermartin40]

Big fan of this band❤

[@jennifermartin40]

If you havent checked out jinjer yet...you should

[@Justin-nq6kf]

When you heard screaming back in the day it probably wasn't that good. Not all screams sound or are good theres some pretty harsh and shitty sounding screaming and genres out there. Has to be the right tone.

[@MrKazukaoO]

A Tip, you stop way to much. Let it flow.

[@degeneratechris]

If you can handle it... The power of vocals, then please do a reaction to slaughter to prevail - demolisher You won't like it, but you'll be questioning many things lol

[@carriefish]

It's funny that you said "this is definitely on a vampire movie soundtrack" because in another reaction to this, dude paused it and said "this sounds like Queen of the Damned soundtrack" 😂

[@williamsummerson1204]

Dope reaction homie. Spiritbox is a super talented band and courtney is my favorite female vocalist. Her voice is unreal and mind blowing. Check out more of there music, you won't be disappointed I promise. 🤘

[@poloreacts27]

Thanks!

[@williamsummerson1204]

[@g3synth205]

I think you'd appreciate "Spiritbox - Circle With Me - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance". It definitely has some scream components that will catch you off guard. Great clean vocals from her as well, and nice music track too. Link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH7Rl56NbrqNmZY

[@JibbyB]

If you want a song that the aggressive vocals really add to the emotion try listening to Gone with the Wind by Architects. Do a little research before listening and it will be an amazingly eye opening experience.

[@RockDocNeal]

Great reaction, man! I believe this style of music is considered Metal Core (or Metalcore), but I am certainly no expert. Just like you, I was not a fan of this style of metal with the screaming/growls in the past, but I heard the song Pisces by the Ukrainian band Jinjer 3-4 weeks ago and I became fascinated, maybe obsessed, with this subset of metal core with female singers (although, I've only listened to a bunch of songs from Jinjer and Spiritbox so far). What really drew me in was the way Tatiana and Courtney can instantly transition from angelic voices with great tone and control right into the super powerful screams/growls to accentuate the increased emotions, plus both Jinjer and Spiritbox have excellent songwriting with beautiful catchy melodies and great underlying arrangements and hooks. Their feel of the songs do differ somewhat between bands from what I've heard in my limited listening thus far, with Spiritbox generally having a more "ethereal" sound using lush, droning synth pad-like sounds (although, I believe the guitarist does all the layers himself with effects and tracks on Reaper because they have no keyboardist) overlying driving guitar/low 5-string bass/drum grooves and under her beautiful vocals, while Jinjer uses a lot of intricate cool guitar/bass riffs over really hip drum grooves with the use of polyrhythms and ghost notes on the snare (which I think is super cool) and then the "secret sauce" of Tatiana's kick-a$$ vocals over the top.

[@RockDocNeal]

I thing I forgot to mention...I'm still not a big fan of metal core bands with male singers, especially ones who scream through the majority of the songs and who's songs are all at about 160bpm and are saturated with insanely fast guitar/bass riffs, which to me, is tiring and doesn't sound "musical" (OK, we all know you have great chops and are really angry, but every now and then chill the F**k out and write something melodic! 😆)

[@yannjoanno6933]

Damn, for someone who just got into this genre you sure know your stuff, its great to see curious people. You should definitely try out Architects, The Agonist, The Ghost Inside, While She Sleeps and maybe even Dance Gavin Dance, though its a bit different

[@RockDocNeal]

@@yannjoanno6933 Thanks. I've been a musician since I was a kid, so I know a lot of music theory and I've listened to multiple genres of music over the years, including rock, soul, R&B, jazz, fusion, classical and "radio friendly" metal like the hits from Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc, but somehow I never delved into the metalcore genre...until now!

@@RockDocNeal Hope you have fun diving down the rabbit hole ;) and if you need any recommandations don't hesitate

[@dkrueger85]

“Circle with me” one take is EPIC.

[@Shedding]

You know something. I never got hip hop in high school. So we good man. The screaming for me was a way to release anger.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

LMAO @ the vampire movie comment. 😂

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Yeah, this _would_ be good in a vampire movie.

[@angelabordack]

[@ExploringTheUnknown1]

One of my favorite songs from her. What all you said throughout this video I was agreeing with you 💯

[@digitalmouse3314]

So bloody impressive seriously she has to fill up lungs and abdomen and then dump it its so crazy you warm up by sataying quite lol basically other then trills and basic voice excersises. Seven Spires Fearless do it got to for more awesome tracks and well she is Saprano trained Opera singer so yeah point proven below and Nightwish Yours is an Empty Hope & Dead Boys Poem Floor version other track is Floor era song so Mezzo Saprano singer who has great strong clean growls so good.

[@fieldsofmercury1291]

Mans fell in love with a really magical musician. Its like listening to a wizard sing.

[@digitalmouse3314]

Yeah, it's so fun to sing along too as well it's so relaxing like literally wo knows why some wierd lizard brain thing it;s satisfying to pull off. Just the same as hitting that note perfectly also people thinking that metal heads just stupid for listening to it but the only growlers that are popular are the ones who can can and do sing. Seriously opera singers best growlers 100% of the time better singer better more versatile growler.

[@RustyGonzo]

LOL @ your anticipatory anxiety. Such a funny reaction. Good shit dude, haha.

[@Justin-nq6kf]

Check out IMMINENCE-GHOST. Trust.
