SPIRITBOX’s ‘Eternal Blue’, one of the mostly hotly anticipated debut albums in recent years, was released on September 17th to mass acclaim from both fans and media alike.
Speaking on the phenomenal success of their debut album, Courtney LaPlante and Mike Stringer share:
“To say we are overwhelmed by the reception to Eternal Blue is an understatement. We’ve literally spent the last 10 days trying to process it all. If you had told us when we started Spiritbox, back in 2017, or indeed, when we first started our musical careers years before, that our debut album would chart even in the Top 50 of the Billboard Top 200, we definitely would not have believed you. That it debuted at #13 is a total dream come true. The deepest, heart felt thank you to our incredible fans. We don’t have words for how much your support means to us. This band would not be here if it wasn’t for you. Eternal Blue is yours now. We hope we did you proud.”
Sean Heydorn, VP – Rise Records adds
“I’m thrilled by the incredible charting Eternal Blue achieved first week. When Jason shared the band with me it was clear how special they are and I was blown away by what they built on their own. However, it wasn’t until they delivered the album that it became apparent there is no ceiling for them. This is a very special moment for the band, their fans, the rock community and the champions who have been behind them from the early days. We’re grateful they chose us as their partner and excited for the wild ride to come. This is just the beginning for Spiritbox.“
Jason Mageau, Spiritbox manager at Roc Nation and owner of Pale Chord adds
“I couldn’t be more proud of Courtney and Mike, since day one they’ve had a vision like no other artist I’ve worked with. It hasn’t been an easy adventure, we were told no more times than I can remember but we knew that with hard work and trusting the process great things would come. We bet on ourselves and here we are 4 years later.
The charting and sales is not only a testament of the band and teams hard work, but a statement that the metal and hard rock community is not one to be overlooked.”
After a short run in August with Limp Bizkit, Spiritbox, arguably *the* hottest new band in heavy music, have already wowed fans at several major US festivals, Blue Ridge Rock Festival, Louder Than Life and Welcome To Rockville, as well as Coheed & Cambria S.S. Neverender Cruise. The babd will also be hitting the road next year with Underoath and Every Time I Die for the Voyeurist North American Tour 2022 (full dates below).

Named after a device some believe is capable of communicating with the dead, there’s a sense of the paranormal running through all that Spiritbox do, but this is a group of artists who are very much brimming with life and creating something remarkable with their music.
Characterized by fierce intensity, unwavering emotion and technical splendor, their debut full length album ‘Eternal Blue’ is destined to latch onto the hearts and minds of those who hear it. It is that connection between fan and artist that drives Courtney, Mike and Bill in all that they do as the Spiritbox phenomenon continues to grow bigger and bigger.
Having toured the world many times over with their previous bands – metal outfit iwrestledabearonce (Courtney and Mike) and pop punk band Living With Lions (Bill) – Spiritbox absorbed the highs and lows of living as working musicians and decided to try a different and more sustainable approach when it came to releasing their music. In doing so they quickly garnered a cult-like online following which has led to over 95 million streams across all platforms and sell outs on every physical release and most merch items they’ve released to date. Towards the end of 2020 they announced that they had signed with world renowned label, Rise Records in partnership with Pale Chord.
