Spiritbox have announced their sophomore album, Tsunami Sea, out March 7th via Pale Chord/Rise Records. In advance of its release, the Canadian metal band has unveiled the single “Perfect Soul.”
The song sees Spiritbox expanding their progressive metal sound with electronic textures and driving industrial-style percussion. The dense layers of guitar and Courtney LaPlante’s ethereal vocals have a shoegaze tinge — think Slowdive playing metal — obscuring some of the mathy dynamics that are still at work under the hood. A Dylan Hryciuk-directed music video for the track goes live at 3 p.m. ET on Monday (November 18th).
It’s the second single from Tsunami Sea following “Soft Spine,” a more aggressive metal number. The album was produced by Dan Braunstein and Mike Stringer, mixed by Zakk Cervini, and mastered by Ted Jensen.
The end of 2024 has been a peak season for Spiritbox, who were recently nominated for Best Metal Performance at the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards for their track “Cellar Door.” The band was also tapped to support Korn’s 30th anniversary tour earlier this year and has another major support slot on the horizon, opening shows for Linkin Park in Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK next June.
Before that, Spiritbox will head out for a UK/European headlining run in February with support from Periphery. Get tickets here.
