Whaaat, so that intro wasn't on the bass? Damn!

[@koffieverslaafde627]

Szymon Żok yeah wtf

[@vividdreams6396]

Maybe it was both?

[@SpiritboxOfficial]

@@vividdreams6396 It's just guitar!

[@vividdreams6396]

@@SpiritboxOfficial Thanks for the reply

[@dakaraius]

Well, I'm going to play it on the bass. Smash the system :oD

[@jasonbourne4865]

Their songs are so deep and layered, they would work as purely instrumental tracks, too.

[@sidneysmith3426]

If they released an album pure instrumentals I’d get it. Courtney’s voice adds a unique flair to the riffs. This whole band is phenomenal

[@dl.tatterson]

These are some of the most unique and badass riffs I’ve ever heard. I dig all of this band so hard.

[@infinityfactorial]

Can we talk about how this song is no less amazing as this instrumental version? I love instrumental metal and this feels as though it could have even been written to not have vocals! Spiritbox, you have proven to be nothing but impressive so far.

[@Iamstarlord92]

To think that this was just the start of the amazing riffs and groove we've come to know and love from Spiritbox! Amazing 🤘

[@tommaginley4439]

I love you guys. You continually come up with new musical in a time when it seems that everything has already been done.

[@kamilnowak5168]

The breakdown knocks me down every tiem 🤯

[@FLmetalhead]

Amazingness. So amazing you and your wife get to make/share such amazing Music with each other. Favorite band right now!!!!

[@biscuitboat]

Watching his fingers and technique is mind boggling. So precise and clean. Outstanding

[@maker000]

Those cleans were pretty damn fresh.

[@PROJECT_XENON]

This song has by far my favorite breakdown i've ever heard

[@juneauz]

I love all of your work, but if I had to pick only one song it would be this one. Absolutely amazing. I really hope I'll get to see it live one time.

[@davealcan]

The beard is fierce here and me likey. Shredding it dude.

[@ThatOneDude_92]

Jeeeeezzzuuuuussss!! Literally every section of this song is flawless!! Such a solid sound!

[@Ryo7_7]

Bias fx 2 is dope af. Those riffs are on another level.

[@LakesideLofi]

GODDAMMM THIS BAND RULES 🔥

[@klmauldin]

Really dig this, reminds me of Animals as Leaders

[@CommoditiesTrader]

Cannot wait to see y'all (again) on Sunday in TEXAS! My wife and I have been fans since Belcarra and love you still play the originals. 😊

[@JamesMilliron]

Mike is out here revealing the riffs like Usain Bolt showing his slow mo race videos like “you won’t be able to match this even if I show you”

[@gregpotter2278]

Holy shit Mike! I cant stop coming back and watching this! Its amazing! And yes, I thought it was an epic bass intro, but boy was I wrong! It was an epic guitar intro!

[@JamesMilliron]

I should be sleeping but here I am watching Mike put down glorious riffs. I will apologise to my wife in the morning.

[@souslicer]

they need to tour man. the music is so good..im almost starting to think its impossible to pull off live

[@xyz-zn5zx]

They're going on tour with After the Burial - Europe 2020

[@haydenlaupland2382]

I get lessons from mike.. he is a blessing, extremely talented and down to earth. Great guy! He wouldn’t write stuff he can’t actually play heheh

[@WittyName44]

@@xyz-zn5zx My two favorite bands. No joke. Amazing. Argh. COVID.

[@joelbeehn]

Technically it would be because they only have a guitarist and singer. The rest is programmed. But, they could have a backing tracl. Nevertheless it would still be great.

[@VMGC9090]

@@joelbeehn they have a bassist as a member of the band and a touring drummer

[@zacharysmith7435]

You guys are getting better and better each day!

[@hlvts1675]

Awesome composition work mate, I really dig it.

[@apomyrma]

sounds amazing!

[@legoharry100]

This is brilliant, but I still want tabs for The Mara Effect 1 and 2 and Perennial.

[@Progboa]

Working on it

[@adammotter7430]

Two plz

[@haydenlaupland2382]

Mike played me those songs like the techy part... idk I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to play it as tight and as good as he can it’s hard and fast!!!

[@PaulOuzounov]

TASTY, very well done!!!

[@eirianrobotto]

Beautiful

[@WillEhrendreich]

I love your playing.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

3:23-3:50ish has got to be some of the best riffing ive heard in years

[@michaelfrancis1]

Absolutely stellar!

[@gregweatherly7793]

this is really good.

[@AnthonyWabo]

A really unique band keep it up guys

[@Artemwn7799]

Amazing tone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidjwillems]

That is some bad ass music and guitar playing.

[@DangerDMA]

3:30 reminds me of Remain Indoors by Periphery! So damn good.

[@twinny_mi]

OMG I have a lil list of songs with similar riffs hold on

[@twinny_mi]

The opening riff to Vanish Canvas by ERRA, the opening riff of Drag Me Down by CABAL, and then this 👀

[@chromesthesia]

Ooo you are good at that.

[@attrition71]

I wish so badly to have your music in instrumentals too

[@mattdotson7328]

Aristides & riffs

[@donniey.8891]

Now that's talent.

[@Ryo7_7]

Killer af. Dig the guitar too.

[@DLCoker666]

How do you get that really percussive tone for the intro? It just a mix of di and the amp?

[@SpiritboxOfficial]

Bingoooo

[@finnancahill2644]

If I'm not mistaken he does a similar thing for those crystal like clean tones

[@notdynomonkey]

Amazing guitar playing man!! So tell me, any Meshuggah influence in your passed?? Heard of you guys but hadn't listened until "Belcarra"..... now I've listened to everything and and you're a top band for me right now🤘👌 Awesome songwriting man, thank you.

[@tankuxslol998]

This sounds sick , but ill like to hear that in a pure tube rig , like the monuments tone , its just personal preference .❤️❤️❤️

[@targetwhitman4590]

dude is bouncing that groove like a f**kin ninja, ....great riff&song

[@Vpogorelov32]

Oddly specific question but do you happen to know what brand and model model desk what is? Been looking for a new desk for my home studio for a long time

[@thrownawaythoughts]

i can't find the electric cross clean or heavy tones on tonecloud, only the ambient :( any chance those can be reuploaded? they sound amazing!

@@MarkLePage cheers

[@stephensalyer2308]

i cant find anything from here on tonecloud besides the pedal setup for ambient. tried searching by name of tone.

[@alexvest2199]

Ok so I had the same problem too and then remembered that he posted in the description that Heavy Electric Cross patch is actually part of Bias Amp 2 not Bias FX which is why you can’t find it

[@TiANr0ckst4r]

dude's a fucking riffing wizard

[@dvrkstrvnd]

I can’t find these tones anywhere in the tone cloud except for the ambient. Are they still available or were they removed?

[@alexbarth7582]

Beautiful work ! May I ask what is the tuning of the guitar?

[@metalheadblues]

F# , G ish

[@dvrkstrvnd]

Not sure if you ever got an answer but G# C# F# B E G# C#

[@metalheadblues]

@@dvrkstrvnd stringer said he uses 8 string tuning on his 7 string when I asked him. He found the 8 string neck to wide but preferred 7 but preferred the 8 string tuning.

[@dvrkstrvnd]

@@metalheadblues Electric Cross is tuned to G# standard, and The Beauty of Suffering is Drop F#. there are tabs on ultimate guitar made directly from Mikes playthroughs for both songs. ive also asked Mike about it and that was the info I was given

[@Mr.Goldbar]

G# Standard

[@djentisnotagenre_]

bro wtf were you on when you wrote that opening riff lmaoo that rhythm is so odd but i love it

[@brochrisxxx]

I guess the “ tone cloud “ for the spark amp is different than the Bias FX one .I was so stoked to use electric cross heavy and it wasn’t there.Lame !

[@Namedyr]

What strings and gauge are used for this? Also, what scale is the guitar? Is 27" needed for this low tuning? :O

[@russelltyler9363]

Your cross rhythms are shit hot dude!

[@JoshuaCWolf]

oof, the GROOVES

[@dakaraius]

Is there any lag on your system? What are you using?

[@lvl99raidboss]

But when are you coming to Maryland. Daddy needs you all.

[@slothsyn]

What tuning is it in?

[@haydenlaupland2382]

Rectiv prettty sure mike saidG#standard

[@dvrkstrvnd]

G# standard so G# C# F# B E G# C#

[@haydenlaupland2382]

The guitar play through a don’t get as much views as the music videos with the whole band, but I guarantee you almost al the views are from musicians loving watchin you play!! If you can spare time post a simple play through as much as you can!!!

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

Non-musician here. I just love to hear the different layers of a good song, it makes my following listens to the full song so much more unique, knowing the guitars and drum parts more intimately.

[@elpodersecreto3488]

Very good sound you are Alive?

[@shatteredsquare]

What tuning is the 7 string in?

[@dvrkstrvnd]

G# standard G# C# F# B E G# C#
