One of my favorite things about metal is how inclusive of a community it is. If you ever make your way out to a concert you won't see a bunch of strangers, but a family. most of the time.
To do "Demon Voice" , many kind of techniques are being used by metal vocalists. (Gutturals, death grunts, growled, low pitched, harsh, vocal fry/fry scream, false chord) With practice it's getting eventually not harder than singing with what we call in the metal scene, a clean voice. That said, in the end of that song, the way Courtney mix her voice, going from clean, to fry, to fals chord is so impressive. I always get instant goosebump & the emotions often brings me some little tears.
That part at the very end with the fast mixed cleans and harsh vocals isn't in the original song. It sounds soo good, and i think she mixes it up by doing that in some of her live shows too.
Absolutely love me some Spiritbox! They have so many amazing songs. If you want to check out more, They were nominated for a Grammy this year for Jaded (everyone knows they SHOULD have won, lol). Blessed Be is a banger. Constance for an amazingly lovely song. Ultraviolet for a chill ambient pop rock joint. Holy Roller to have your face melted, lol.
Ooh, I'm excited to see your journey discovering Spiritbox - so talented and pretty varied too. Enjoy!x❤ p.s. you need a screenshot of your faces when she started the song.....priceless!😁😁😁
I'd love to see a video of y'all attempting harsh vocals! People either think it's super easy or think it's really difficult. Whenever people actually try to do harsh vocals it just adds another layer of appreciation to the genre and the vocalists talent. I've been trying to work on it for almost 10 years and still haven't gotten to where I'd like to be. Even if it doesn't sound perfect it's still a lot of fun to do and let's you embrace these songs even more in my opinion. I love seeing people venture into the genre and community, metal is not always what people think it is on a surface level and metal heads are actually some of the nicest and most inclusive fan bases out there. Seeing live shows of this music is an awesome experience, the people always look out for each other especially in the moshpits and everyone is there to just enjoy the bands and have a great time. There's never really any drama or beef or people trying to fight each other like at some other concerts. Definitely give the vocal thing a shot and keep checking out these bands and their other songs. Looking at the lyrics while listening helps a ton especially for new listeners. 😊
Yes! One of favorites. Great request Denis. Courtney is currently my favorite harsh vocalist, not because of her harshs though, but because she knows how and when to use them. This song is from the album Eternal Blue and yes her hair is very blue at this point in time.
The one take of "Circle with me" is not only my favourite clip and song from Spiritbox... but Courtney's intensity to deliver the message. In my understanding of the song ...is about the faith and honour of marriage and the vows of marriage that carry mankind in the image of God, therefore strength of family....but the honour is gone and twisted today into two vultures ( birds of prey) being in sanctimony until it falls apart...then scavenge from each other ( money, property and children's affection and monitory benefits ofhaving children). This is a masterpeice...musically, lyrically and if you listen closely and read closely...the angered demon voice... is anger from God.
There are other one takes like this one for the songs "Rule of Nines" and "Holy Roller" (first is like this with some screams, the second is all screams). There is also a six song live in-studio performance with the band from 2020 that was shot for XM's Liquid Metal. And a 3 song performance of The Mara Effect that was also shot live in a studio. But you might like some of the newer songs with all clean vocals like "Too Close/Too Late" and "The Void" and "Ultraviolet."
Courtney is really talented. These harsh vocals are not like the "others", beyond the alternation between verses and choruses, her cries are very melodic and they integrate singing within them, few singers in this style do it, she goes undoubtedly create many vocations. Greetings from France.
Really awesome reaction. 👍👍👍 Not to mention, that's a one take performance and she absolutely nailed it. Her hair in this video is blue. I don't want to say that I have a weakness for women with blue hair... 😄
The harsh vocals are using false folds near the vocal cords and don't involve stressing the vocal cords. Tatiana of Jinjer was self-taught. There are instructional videos on TH-cam that explain how to do harsh vocals.
One of the most amazing things is how she is able scream in key. Courtney is a powerful powerful singer. Personally I think "Angel Eyes" and "Cellar Door" if you want all harsh Spiritbox, It may not be the top choice for most people but I'm really partial to "Sunkiller".
Formed in 2017, in Victoria BC Canada, by lead singer Courtney LaPlante and her husband, guitarist Mike Stringer, after leaving their former band Iwrestledabearonce. Zev Rose on drums since 2020, Josh Gilbert (ex-As I Lay Dying) joined on bass in 2022, made permanent last year. Heavy metal band using several genres , metalcore alt metal, prog metal, and using electronic elements. 4 EP's and 1 full album to date. This song is from the album, Eternal Blue, released in 2021. Most songs have a mix of clean and harsh, with varying percentages. But a few are all harsh, and a few all clean. Well, anyone can do harsh vocals, but it takes LOTS of practice to do them properly ,so you don't hurt yourself. More to check out: Courtney's vocal one take for Rule of Nines. Constance, Blessed Be, Holy Roller, Rotoscope, Jaded, Cellar Door, and Ultra Violet.
Since it just came out, you three should check out the newest song from Kittie, who are credited as being on of the first all female metal bands. The new song “Eyes Wide Open” is their first new music in 12-13 years, and possibly their best music ever. Tara, the guitarist also plays lead guitar in a country band called Nice Horse.
Whoever says harsh vocals aren't hard to do aren't doing it properly which can really mess up your throat it does actually take years of practice if you're just starting from fresh
Just duscovered y'all's channel tonight. Y'all are awesome! I hope you check out August Burns Red or The Devil Wears Prada. Expert musicianship with both bands. ✌🏼
Have not seen a reaction of Hanabie We love sweets and Igorrr, maybe, IeuD in your reactions til now. Maybe you will react in the future to them. lovely greetinx from germany
Love spiritbox, love "hurt you" but they are so good live if you can try and make a show it's definitely worth it. Rotoscope reminds me of garbage to begin with 😍. Other bands to check out would be VUKOVI vocals are not heavy but the sound they make as whole and the lyrics definitely are any track off their album nula but the track tainted is a good start, pure energy. Another band to check out would be dream state and their track help my self, it's quite sad as the lead singer left for mental health reasons they now have a very solid replacement who has more heavys and fry so it's an interesting listing to both singers as the new stuff is definitely heavier and the old songs are redone a touch heavier live as well.
Great video. Thanks for not shitting on great metal music. Make sure to check out Lacuna Coil (Heaven’s a Lie) and Slipknot (Left Behind, Snuff, Duality, Gehenna, Circle, Solway Firth, If Rain is What You Want)
Spiritbox are really versatile, most of their EPs, singles and albums are all a little different. The album that this song is on, was one of my personal favourite albums of 2021
Lulu you look great glad your feeling better🤘👍. Spiritbox was nominated for a grammy but unfortunately it went to Metallica oh well.😢 They are still amazing keep up with them it's the only new metal band we have. North America worth listening to!🌹🌹🌹
no, harsh vocals are difficult to do. they can take many YEARS to properly learn. A lot of screamers have said it took them years to learn it properly without damaging their vocal cords
th-cam.com/video/JreCi4pQtII/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FvfjLJ95HG-3LkjL Spiritbox - The Mara Effect pt. 1-3 Live at Silverside Sound. If you’ve liked what you’ve heard so far this one is good.
Spiritbox ? ooooooh, where's the popcorn? Let's talk about the most important stuff first : Lulu's right, in this video, Courtney's hair is blue. There's a lot more to listen to with Spiritbox, and some very surprising changes in style while always sounding like the same band.
Could I ask that you not call it demon voice? If so it’d be appreciated. Just because I’d like to think we’ve come a long way from the 80s, where metal was improperly labelled as satanic. Unfortunately, some people still believe this to be true.
Jesus christ you do in fact all look the same. It could NOT be more clear that you're family lol. If you have any actual singing experience, it wouldn't be super hard to learn the basics, its the same as any other vocal distortion that people do in... less aggressive genres. It just (typically) has the distortion increased and your actual voice pulled back further. There's a lot of different and more difficult techniques, but most people could do the basics with just a little training.
You ladies should check out the band Galleons. They just released a new album called Violent Delights and it’s fantastic from start to finish. My favorite from it is the song Dungeon Dweller
Rule of Nines, Holy Roller, Cellar Door, Blessed Be, Hurt You. So many amazing songs from this band.
Blessed Be is the best one for first timers, "Oh she has such a beauti...."
Courtney coming in like a semi at 100mph : "...Offer me!!!!"
Hysteria, Belcarra, Beauty In Suffering
Holy Roller is definitely their best song, i wish they would do more songs on that level.
I approve all these.
@@jhamilton1007 Belcarra and Beauty are both stellar!
She's just off the rails. Shoulda won a Grammy.
One of my favorite things about metal is how inclusive of a community it is. If you ever make your way out to a concert you won't see a bunch of strangers, but a family. most of the time.
How inclusive it is now, yeah. I can remember a time when this would've never been popular. Metal is heading in a great direction.

Spiritbox - Holy Roller (Official Music Video) 😈
Courtney is the queen of scream! My absolute favorite singer.
Oh yeah one of my fav bands. More? Well: "Blessed be" - "Constance" - "Hurt me" - "Holy Roller" - "Rule of Nines" - "Jaded"
Hurt You
jaded riff is just fucking amazing
That part at the very end with the fast mixed cleans and harsh vocals isn't in the original song. It sounds soo good, and i think she mixes it up by doing that in some of her live shows too.
*Precious Courtney LaPlante, I love how she lures my eardrums with her sugar-coated voice, before she raise some hell with her vocals....* 🔥 ❤🔥😈❤🔥🔥
You ladies are awesome 🤟
Thank you!! 😁
Absolutely love me some Spiritbox! They have so many amazing songs. If you want to check out more, They were nominated for a Grammy this year for Jaded (everyone knows they SHOULD have won, lol). Blessed Be is a banger. Constance for an amazingly lovely song. Ultraviolet for a chill ambient pop rock joint. Holy Roller to have your face melted, lol.
Best thing going in metal right now! Listen to Secret Garden and then Holy Roller ... complete opposite ends of the spectrum
Yeah Holy Roller is a must lol!
Luscious indeed....her hair was blue, BTW, maybe because the album is Eternal Blue.
Ooh, I'm excited to see your journey discovering Spiritbox - so talented and pretty varied too. Enjoy!x❤ p.s. you need a screenshot of your faces when she started the song.....priceless!😁😁😁
You guys are all so cute, and look alike. I can just see the generational resemblance. Thanks for checking this out!
Our pleasure!
Loved the echoing end.
Went out with a Bang !

New singer to me nice voice she has. Lulu will make a great hairstylist
My favorite is the titlesong "Eternal Blue". Her hair was blue for that ablum btw. :)
Courtney is really talented. These harsh vocals are not like the "others", beyond the alternation between verses and choruses, her cries are very melodic and they integrate singing within them, few singers in this style do it, she goes undoubtedly create many vocations. Greetings from France.
Great reaction! Her hair is dyed very blue btw💅
Her hair was obviously blue there.
Grandma is fully engaged the passion of the song. Fuck yes.

Definitely check out SpiritBox Holly Roller official music video, awesome 😎 request
Check out their song Secret Garden. All cleans and beautiful.
Spiritbox Silk In the Strings.
One of the most amazing things is how she is able scream in key. Courtney is a powerful powerful singer. Personally I think "Angel Eyes" and "Cellar Door" if you want all harsh Spiritbox, It may not be the top choice for most people but I'm really partial to "Sunkiller".
Jaded is a great one by them. CHECK OUT JUST PRETEND BY BAD OMENS!
Definitely should check out The Will Ramos . Talk about talent between the transition between growl and singing

"Rule Of Nines" first and then "Holy Roller" would be a better start but that song is also awesome!
More Spiritbox for sure. But also if you wanna talk about demon voice you guys gotta do To the Hellfire by Lorna Shore.
Have not seen a reaction of Hanabie We love sweets and Igorrr, maybe, IeuD in your reactions til now. Maybe you will react in the future to them. lovely greetinx from germany
You should watch the live version of Pisces by Jinjer
her hair is blue in this video because this song is off their album Eternal Blue
One of my favorite concert experiences has been hearing the whole crowd shout "this could all be yours!" at each chorus.
Love spiritbox, love "hurt you" but they are so good live if you can try and make a show it's definitely worth it. Rotoscope reminds me of garbage to begin with 😍.
Other bands to check out would be VUKOVI vocals are not heavy but the sound they make as whole and the lyrics definitely are any track off their album nula but the track tainted is a good start, pure energy.
Another band to check out would be dream state and their track help my self, it's quite sad as the lead singer left for mental health reasons they now have a very solid replacement who has more heavys and fry so it's an interesting listing to both singers as the new stuff is definitely heavier and the old songs are redone a touch heavier live as well.
For the harsh vocals, its similar to how you would belch the alphabet, once you find the point its easy to go in and out
Really good band …I’m not so much into screaming vocals but Courtney mixes it up slot ..
The hair is indeed blue
Great video. Thanks for not shitting on great metal music.
Make sure to check out Lacuna Coil (Heaven’s a Lie) and Slipknot (Left Behind, Snuff, Duality, Gehenna, Circle, Solway Firth, If Rain is What You Want)
Spiritbox are really versatile, most of their EPs, singles and albums are all a little different. The album that this song is on, was one of my personal favourite albums of 2021
Lulu you look great glad your feeling better🤘👍. Spiritbox was nominated for a grammy but unfortunately it went to Metallica oh well.😢 They are still amazing keep up with them it's the only new metal band we have. North America worth listening to!🌹🌹🌹

People in the comments not saying Belcarra as a song to listen to is concerning...
no, harsh vocals are difficult to do. they can take many YEARS to properly learn. A lot of screamers have said it took them years to learn it properly without damaging their vocal cords

Spiritbox - The Mara Effect pt. 1-3 Live at Silverside Sound.
If you’ve liked what you’ve heard so far this one is good.
Instead of Spiritbox, react to her early work before Spiritbox when she sang for IWRESTLEDABEARONCE
Constance!!!!! Warning...bring your Kleenex. Follow that up with Holy Roller.
To hear a REAL demon voice you should listen: Slaughter To Prevail - DEMOLISHER. Even Satan himself is scared of Alex Terribles voice 😅
Spiritbox ?
ooooooh, where's the popcorn?
Let's talk about the most important stuff first : Lulu's right, in this video, Courtney's hair is blue.

hey guys, Check out the new single from UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Green & Glass, i think you will like it
