This was Courtney LaPlante’s response when we asked her about new Spiritbox music

We’ve been chomping at the bit for more new Spiritbox music since the release of their standalone single The Void in April – but we’ve got good news for you!

As the metalcore stars return to the UK as well as this week’s Kerrang! Cover Story, we recently asked vocalist Courtney LaPlante if there was “more new music on the horizon”. And while she obviously didn’t give away any timelines, excitingly she did tease that: “I think that everyone will be pleasantly surprised this year.”

The singer also reveals that the band don’t feel any pressure to make a certain style of music – and in fact, they may never make anything that sounds like The Void again. Right now, they feel total artistic freedom, and they’ll seemingly be making the most of it.

“I don’t feel like we’ve been around long enough to disappoint anyone,” Courtney explains. “We are just getting started, and we’re still figuring out what we are, and I don’t even know if I want to find out. I don’t care about genre, I just know we like making heavy music with low-tuned guitars. But I’m like, ‘Take me or leave me, this is what we sound like.’ I feel like a lot of bands are having fun with that too.”
