Spiritbox - "Blessed Be" Official Music Video - Reaction

[@imcrazedandconfused]

Spiritbox Level One completed. Continue ... Next Level up: "Rule of Nines". Great, that you finally discovered Spiritbox! Great reaction. It is like with Jinjer. Disclaimer: Addicted after 2 songs, then you want it all. One can never react to too much Jinjer or Spiritbox.

[@szpynda]

"Bleach Bath" and "Mara Effect" from Studio performance. EPIC.

[@Silver_Paladin789]

Final boss level.....Holly Roller lol

Rule of Nines and Holy Roller are bangers by them 🤘🇨🇦

I don't think they can handle Holy Roller...

[@ryanhalien8468]

This song has one of the best choruses I’ve ever heard

[@LEANNxARI]

I really agree with you, It'll be it stuck in my head whenever I hear it 😍

[@jen.g.]

Few people recognize the similarities to The Handmaid’s Tale. Good for you guys! Please do more Spiritbox. Courtney has some one-take vocal performances that are great.

[@ChrisPage68]

I love their refusal to conform or compromise on their vision. One of the most interesting and intelligent bands in Metal.

[@dmann05]

The Handmaid's Tale was a visual reference for this video. The symbolism in the video is pretty heavy and I've read lots of different interpretations. Check out Rule of Nines and then Holy Roller for more greatness.

[@RyanCogar]

"Perennial" Will turn Courtney into a girl crush 100%. Rule of Nines is dope too though.

[@tylerstewart3181]

Isn't perennial a Jinjer song? That's Tatiana not Courtney 😂

[@RyanCogar]

@@tylerstewart3181 They both have tracks titled "Perennial" :) Should check out the spiritbox one, more of a melodic vibe than a lot of their stuff.

I'm glad you checked it out! One of the best bands to watch out for! You two should check out their songs "Rule of Nines" + "Trustfall"!

[@timhutchinson8485]

You should check out Rule of Nines and Holy Roller. After that, you should check out Courtney's "one take vocal" versions of both songs.

[@Ims18]

Are we going down the rabbit hole to venture into metalcore? If so that would be amazing 😉

[@PatrickSilverRose]

I LOVE Spiritbox's videos. They have such an eye for detail and they're all so beautifully shot. Rule of Nines, Holly Roller, Bleach Bath, and especially Perennial are my favorite videos from them.

[@LEANNxARI]

100% agreed!

[@imcrazedandconfused]

@@LEANNxARI Some of them were produced with much improvisation and simple equipment, but nevertheless are stunning, like Holy Roller, which was shot like with an iPhone outside the house (due to corona restrictions). They are true artists and still make these videos appealing to the viewer.

[@Mr-ks5kl]

Cool you stared listening Spiritbox with the ballad Blessed Be now you need to hear Rule of nines, Holy Roller and Belcarra.

[@ChrisPage68]

Ballad? 😜 🤣 😂 🤦

[@robertfitterman3777]

I think you will find many Jinjer fans like Spiritbox. Courtney is almost at Tatiana's level. She is very talented!

[@imcrazedandconfused]

So true. Spiritbox is like the artsy-fartsy horror version in metalcore, for what Jinjer is in modern genre transcending progressive metal.

[@Eyeyamgod]

They're both very different singers and performers. Not really fair to compare them. The screams, singing all different styles. Neither will match each other's levels because they're so different. The only similarity is that they have a singing and screaming voice that they easily switch to back and forth.

[@ChrisPage68]

@@imcrazedandconfused Artsy-Fartsy is not the phrase I would use. They are intelligent and technical.

[@imcrazedandconfused]

@@ChrisPage68 "spooky-scary, but also artsy-fartsy" is their own self-description ... and yes, they have a sense for irony.

[@ILoveGrilledCheese]

Almost? Tatiana is amateurish by comparison

[@AaronationX]

Spiritbox - Rule of Nines is a must.

[@reality8o]

Your reaction was fun haha! I enjoyed that. Spiritbox is a band you shouldn't miss on! They deliver next level stuff. Their style is so special and unique, but they are still able to deliver a big variety within their style. Courtney's voice is so damn beautiful. Mike's guitar riffs (also Courtney's husband) can be damn technical, groovy and catchy, he can do it all. You won't regret checking out more stuff from Spiritbox! I think you would like their song called "Perennial". And definitely "The Mara Effect Pt. 1" (The Mara Effect is a trilogy of songs and all three are awesome) aswell! If you want it a bit heavier than Blessed Be, check out their song "Rule of Nines"! Their live performance videos on their channel are a must! :)

[@cooltechnician]

Yeah Spiritbox is second in my list just right after Jinjer,, the guys from Jinjer really respect and admire Spiritbox, cause Courtney Laplante was their inspiration when she was in her earlier band Iwrestledabearonce.. Please continue the ride with these bands cause they just don’t have a bad song. If you are interested in checking some other awesome ladies in Metal check out VINTERSEA from Portland, their song Illuminated is awesome as good as Jinjer’s or Spiritbox. VINTERSEA opened the gig for Jinjer when they play in Portland last year. Rock on!

[@donchaffins1313]

Courtney's old band was called Iwrestledabearonce.

[@gmatty2975]

Loved your reaction Guy's. thank you for sharing! ;0)

Some fun recommendations, band names and recommend songs: Death Metal? Slaughter To Prevail ~ Demolisher Female Fronted Metal Band? In This Moment ~ The In Between Goth Metal? Motionless In White ~ Another Life I'm a music lover of almost all genres and love to see and hear people react to music talent. Thanks for taking a chance on new music and I laughed when you chugged the wine during the video, too funny!

[@LEANNxARI]

Woohoo! Thanks for the breakdown and thanks for watching!

[@Neocoolzero]

Believe it or not, this one is almost pop compared to their other songs, I'de strongly suggest you to react to Holly Roller, it will make you go "Holly sh#t!, Cortney hardly growls on Blessed be, but Holly Roller is amazing :)

[@wickedPrints3256]

Holy Roller or belcarra should be next! This band is amazing!

[@carpathianpsychonaut]

Great to see you do some Spiritbox! Definitely try more - you'll be glad you did. Maybe try "Rule Of Nines"?

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

Awesome reaction. Love this band. Hope you were able to take time after to read up on the lyrics. I will also recommend Rule of Nines and Holy Roller (no it’s not a cover heh). Thanks for always sharing. Stay safe.

[@zynius]

Courtney's face being blank while she screams is a recurring there in their videos. Also check out Infected Rain. Lena Scissorhands is a great female vocalist too in the same style (tbh there's a lot of awesome women who can scream). The song Orphan Soul by Infected Rain is a great intro to them.

[@JamesGarbutt33]

Girl with long black hair 💥🤙

[@wolfhawk1999]

Thanks for checking them out! For another great song with a mix of heavy and light check out "Rule of Nines." Also, more Metalcore than Death Metal. Also, Courtney and Mike (guitarist) are married. Funny thing, last night on their live stream they were saying how people use Evanescence as a reference to give them shit haha

[@benjaminschomburg7746]

Yes, rule of nines is soooo good!

She recently interviewed Amy Lee of Evanescence for the new Evanescence album "The Bitter Truth" and Courtney told Amy that she has been listening to her music and has been getting vocal influence from Amy. Just thought it was interesting that you mentioned that the melodic parts of the song reminded you of that.

[@heffatheanimal2200]

Ya, Courtney's singing voice is very light and breathy. Kind of gives a bit of an Enya-like ethereal feel. This is one of their lightest songs too. Next ya gotta try Rule Of Nines

[@j.f.fisher5318]

They like horror or at least creepy imagery in their videos. The Handmaids Tale references were intentional. I view the theme here as being "relationships are hard," and that both the chain (which is in every scene where she is walking as well as the bath tubs, including the end on the porch - also note that the guy is looking out the glass behind her at the end) and the violence are a not so much literally happening but a metaphorical representation of her feelings - feeling trapped and frustrated, because relationships are hard haha. I especially like the scene where she's saying "the only person that I love" over the guy's eviscerated body on the bed. The only thing that would make this song better imo would be if the guy in the video was their guitarist Mike who is Courtney's husband. I'd recommend the Rule Of Nines one-take next. Cheers!

[@LEANNxARI]

Thanks Jeffrey! Agreed!! We definitely enjoyed the horror movie vibe 😮

[@THE_DRAGON_GAMES]

Holy Roller and Belcarra

[@bullmiller3800]

I'm not sure of the complete story of this song, but I know it has to do with Anti-depression meds and being bound (chained) to your home. "Chemicals" in the song refers to medication, then at the end, she finally "breaks the chains" and walks outside. It's deep and an amazing song!

[@GeekFurious]

This is called projection. There is no way this song is about anti-depression meds.

[@yubogolfer4040]

Well, I have another recommendation for an artist / a band you probably never heard of and is definitely worth a listen to. Rage of Light They are flying below the radar of most reaction channels, so it would be something that has not been worn out so much by reactors like JInjer or Nightwish. Something relatively fresh to the reacting scene and they (and especially the singer Melissa Bonny) deserve some more attention. The describe themselves as "Trance Metal / Melodic Death Metal from Switzerland". For the start the official version of the song 'Mechanicals' would do great, 'I can, I will' is also a good introduction. Give it a try, I guess Melissa is another possible candidate for an Ari girlcrush (just to continue the running gag) ;) .
