Eternal Blue is what metal sounds like in 2021. No add-ons required.

Kerrang!

Eternal Blue is dizzying, cleansing and frightening. You need to delve deep to find your place within it, but that journey is the very thing that makes this album so interesting.

Distorted Sound

Not only does Eternal Blue live up to the immense hype but it exceeds it entirely. Heavy music has a new face and it belongs to SPIRITBOX.

Metal Hammer

Eternal Blue is a staggeringly brilliant record that resoundingly delivers on the hype.

Upset

'Eternal Blue' sits simultaneously familiar and fresh. As if metal has, for the first time, found a home in the idea of epics and melody.

The Young Folks

If you’re a fan of the metalcore genre and want to experience a truly eye-opening gaze into the soul of a gifted artist, Spiritbox has you covered with Eternal Blue.

AllMusic
Home to the radio hit "Holy Roller," the LP is a nu-metal-meets-djent riff-fest that balances vocalist Courtney LaPlante's vocal gymnastics -- which veer from angelic highs to visceral lows -- with the band's wall of muscle.

Classic Rock

What metal's fundamentalists will think of it is anyone's guess, but this is the sound of the genre's future.

Spitibox is a band to pay attention to. They showed great potential in their debut album. A rich sound, full of layers and textures. Melodies that convey a sense of decadence and desolation, but always very cohesive.

The contrast of more visceral moments with fast guitars and smooth melodies with slow and lilting guitars contribute to never leaving a monotonous sound.

This album is proof that there are still MANY paths where metalcore can go.
The band never falls for the most common cliches ... read more

It's a little generic for a 2021 Alt Metal/Metalcore album, but it's super well done and really enjoyable to listen to. The production is fantastic, the hooks are hitting, and the guitars are slapping, I mean honestly, there's nothing to complain about except the fact that it's not really unique. But again, I use the logic that if it's not unique it has to slap, and if it's unique it has to be interesting. I don't mind if the album is generic, as long as I get tracks from it that I enjoy and ... read more

The Best metal debut album of the last 15 years

The band i've been following since their start back in 2017, have finally released their debut after releasing dozens of non-album singles and apparently making their fan base wait for years. But goddamn it was worth the wait.
The last 5 years has definitely been the golden age of Female fronted metal bands with the success of bands like jinjer and spiritbox and also a few artists changing their style like popoy, and it might result in metal's ... read more

Peak modern metal.

Been interested in finding more thrash metal out there, stumbled across this band, and tbh they are pretty nice. The hardcore rock/metalcore-style instrumentals fit perfectly with the screaming that sounds like hellish demons chirping. Nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to metal, though, so if you're looking for purely ear-bleeding vocals over guitar and drums, here is your album!

Hurt You - 80 (Very creative, lovely mash of metal and thrash-like vocals)
