Like many young bands of their generation, Spiritbox found their momentum all but obliterated by the arrival of the pandemic. At that point, the Canadian metalcore crew - spearheaded by husband and wife duo, frontwoman Courtney LaPlante and guitarist Mike Stringer - had been together for three years, releasing a few singles and playing just under 20 shows in that time.
Courtney and Mike had formed Spiritbox following the end of their time in off-kilter mathcore collective iwrestledabearonce, and by the Spring of 2020, they'd established a reputation as one of the most exciting young heavy bands in the scene. You know what happened next. It happened to countless bands the world over. Everyone isolated. Gigs stopped. The metal world was suddenly in a state of flux.
