Spiritbox recently released their debut full-length album Circle With Me and the reception has been nothing short of stellar. Though the emotionally charged record wasn't easy to record. According to vocalist Courtney LaPlante in an interview with Metal Hammer, it was tiring to get into the emotional headspace that each song demanded, which culminated in a mental breakdown during the title track.
“I went to record it and I had no confidence. I sounded so bad, and the guys had to pause my recording session. I had a frickin' mental breakdown. The guys were like, 'It's OK Courtney, we can do this again tomorrow', and I went into a closet in my room and cried and cried. The next day, magic happened. If I hadn't had that breakdown the night before I wouldn't have been able to perform the song like I did the next day."
Spiritbox will hit the road next February with Underoath and Every Time I Die.
