One of the greatest live performances I have ever seen in my 40 years on this beautiful planet we share together. Absolutely amazing
For those curious, "The Mara":
"A mare (Old English: mære, Old Dutch: mare, Proto-Slavic *mara; mara in Old High German, Old Norse, and Swedish) is a malicious entity in Germanic and Slavic folklore that rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on nightmares."
The sleep parálisis effect. Lamao
When I first heard the band, with the songs The Mara Effect and Rule of Nines i thought they might be into The Elder Scrolls lore lol:)
@@jonkwape3097 I thought the same LOL, i actually doesn't understand what ordinary life and what is love have to do with sleep paralisis, so i still prefere going with my theory their into elder scrolls lore, once Mara is the goddess of love, and you can actually get a hint of ordinary life in that world with elder scrolls.
@@dwemer2610 Ha! Nice
Liquid Metal performance should be next by Spiritbox all 3 parts! So good!
Those songs are better there than they are on their studio versions, especially on Blessed Be and ESPECIALLY on The Beauty of Suffering. Courtney’s growl when the breakdown hits in that performance is top notch
@@americanmetalhead7318 unreal eh! Love it! She does a bleigh! 😆😅
Right? I loved rule of nines in that performance!
@@jpt9888 oh ya! 🤘
big agree, this should definitely be the next one!!!
Watched this performance more times than I can count, watched every reaction to this on youtube... and still... "My Skin crawls, my chest heaves, punish me".... full body goose bumps Every. Damn. Time.
Me too. Why does she have that effect?!?! Is it the Mara? 🤯
same dude
Fun fact: the "static" between songs is a real Spirit Box (the radio device used to supposedly hear the dead speak)
As for the songs between Bill's driving bass tone bringing that low end rumble, Mike's super tasteful solo (the only one in Spiritbox history) with the sweep arpeggios and Courtney's huge vocal run on the "razor blade eyes" just before the solo Mara Effect 1 is still one of their best songs imho.
Muad Dib- You no longer need the weirding module! 😂 I agree with all, except I don’t think the static is an *actual* Spiritbox, I think it is simulated. The voice heard is too often the same voice, there’s never any bits of music popping in there, etc. Have you ever used one, or heard one in person? I have not, but I would expect the output of random frequency hopping to be more chaotic than this. Of course, I could be full of $#@&%. 😂
@@cyberia55 I believe it's stated that the entire EP had hints of actual spirit box frequencies and wavelengths
@@cyberia55 well, from what I have gathered they are recorded bits, but they are the recorded output of a real Spiritbox. Or so I’ve heard.
@@williamvangurp7696 That might make more sense. It just doesn’t sound to me like an actual *live* (recorded in real-time) Spiritbox. If they recorded one, then extracted the more “interesting” samples, the result could be what we hear in these tracks.
"Razor blade eyes" being belted at 7:53 is INCREDIBLE and my favorite part of the song
YEEEESSSSSSSSSS
That part for me when she belts out the first “punish me” scream is the peak of the whole performance, it’s so raw and powerful and chaotic
Time stamp?
@@florida2407 right at 25 minutes and the few seconds leading up to it
If you liked this, I really want to hear your thoughts on Periphery - Reptile
It's a 16 minute journey about a guy saving the world from aliens, and honestly a musical masterpiece
Vouch
Reptile is an absolute must. Hail Stan!
@@camhorejs hail stan indeed
Oh, please, yes.
yeah, what a total journey of a song!
So as a 50 yr old rock/metal etc multi instrument musician, Spiritbox is special across the board and I believe this performance and recording is Historical.
Like up there with the greatest of the greats. Top 5 lifetime for me.
Great reaction, Spiritbox is the it!
By the way Ryan was just their touring drummer and I think Zev is now their official drummer, they have always been a 3-Piece, before Bill joined the band Mike would program the drums and bass and then do his guitar parts that was on their first EP called Spiritbox which the Mara Effect is on so all this was written by Mike and Courtney made the lyrics and melodies.
So just to clear the air, I was actually a member of the band until I stepped down in Feb of 2020 to focus on being the best Dad I could be; unfortunately not possible if I've gone all the time touring :)
@@ryanloerke981 oh I see thanks for letting me know! Hope all is well Ryan and you were nasty on the kit I will say!
@@dxrknus Thank you I really appreciate that! Was a super fun band to play in, and I'm happy for all the success they've gotten.
@@ryanloerke981 your drumming on these give me life every time I listen to it 🤘 also love to see you’re a little bit of an Initial D nerd judging by your profile picture
@@GranTurismoJunky thank you so much! I really appreciate that. It was a super fun session and something to cross off the bucket list. And yes, I’m a huge INITIALD nerd haha I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched it. A big reason I bought an S2000 and built it for the track!
Yeah, The Mara Effect is epic! The journey the 3 parts take you on is just amazing. As a musician myself, Spiritbox is addictive. Any musician who listens to them pretty quickly hear's the diversity of this band. I'm 47 years old and have been playing music for 35 years. This band is doing things I've rarely heard or felt before except in bands that changed music.
The Mara is old Nordic for nightmare, it was the Mara riding you in the night. I grew up with my grandparents in the 60's and when I was a child they used that, they said the Mara ( a female entity ) came and sat on you at night giving you nightmares.
The word goes back and could be found in old Norse/ viking era, where I grew up was a very very small part of Sweden with one of the oldest dialect that goes back to old Norse. This area did then have a few thousands that spoke this dialect, today it's only a few hundred left. When my grandmother was alive she wrote a book every year teaching the dialect and it was used in school, now there is no one left doing it.
Anyway, this song with Spiritbox is and has always been my favorite because it showcase their incredible musicianship and of course their awesome music. I love all their songs but as I said this is my favorite by far.
I literally screamed out loud when I saw this in my subscription feed
WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
The early Spiritbox stuff is SO good.
“Howie’s gonna be shocked if we even sell one” 😂 That’s a vote of confidence
And Happy Birthday Howie 🎂
So, buy one! They’re awesome t’s
They have never had a drummer who was part of the band. Mike writes all of the music including the drum parts. I get the impression that they really like Zev, but he is from the US so they haven't spent much time together in person as their first tour got cancelled early last year. They likely want to tour with him for a while before deciding whether to make him a member.
Someone did do an orchestral cover of these 4 songs, I think with computer software. The band promoted it on their socials. It still has an epic vibe, just in a different way. You would probably enjoy it.
As long as Covid doesn't continue to get worse and shut everything down, I'll let you know what they sound like live with Zev after 8/21 :)
Zev is an official member now
Zev is an official member according to Courtney. COVID has made getting together to play pretty much impossible with Canada having such tough restrictions, but they’re touring
“Oh they are changing some shit up here” I laughed. You can tell how genuine that was.
I learned about Sleep Token - Higher from some youtube comments on a Spiritbox music video.
He reacted to Jaws from them but I really would love to see Higher or The Offering or even Sugar
@@zeg0ld Yeah I annoyed him for months to get him to react to Jaws. He is gonna keep blowing me off for another few months before he gets to Higher. :)
This is exactly what I've been waiting for!
Next stop: Spiritbox: Trust Fall.
Trust Fall is the first song I heard by them! Shane there's no music video for that one as it's one of my favorites
@@swirle13 there is a music video for Trust Fall
It’s imposible not to love this band. As a drummer I always get really impressed with drums, but this are beyond amazing.
And this song reminds me of TesseracT’s “Of Matter”. You should totally check that out!
This!! I was gonna compare it to Altered State, it shares the whole "one big song split into parts" vibe and I absolutely love Tesseract so I second this!
Not only the parts, but the guitar style and obviously the incredible and ever changing drumming come to mind.
Suprised I never really listened to this band, but this was INCREDIBLE! definitely going to check out the rest of their music!
Your videos are always great, I love how knowledgeable you are about music! You should definitely check out a few songs by Enter Shikari, way different style, but I think they would also blow your mind!
Oh man, +1000 for Enter Shikari
This is their best work
TesseracT's Of Matter is a HUGE must after this. Much like The Mara Effect, Of Matter is also one big parted song that you'd definitely enjoy - and one we'd probably all enjoy watching you react to!
Was hoping for that Coheed & Cambria five by that you've been hinting at for this week, but I'm dang happy to see this reaction as well! Spiritbox is running strong as my favorite metal act at the moment.
Sometimes I forget how much range Courtney has and then I listen to this
And here am I discovering great new bands with you.. They are on my playlist now.
I've never heard you curse so much on a reaction video !!! Lol hell yeah man spiritbox brings it out of all of us
Another banging vid. Please do bleach bath if you haven’t already !!! Such a great song
Found this channel 3 days ago through the bo burnham RUclips hole I was falling into.... and now I've binged your entire catalog over the weekend. WOW! love the insight and work you and your team bring. Can't wait for more! And my I suggest a review of any song made my 'atreyu'
OMG, that’s insane!!! Ur a ShedHead!!!!
Song suggestion: The Offering-Sleep Token
Great reaction and happy birthday Howie!
We’re gonna do more Sleep Token for sure!
Hello! Thank you for the video!Please pay attention to the young singer Diana Ankudinova.Make reactions to the songs of Wicked game, Human🌞🌞🌞DIANA ANKUDINOVA is a talented young singer. I would like to know your opinion. I think you will be surprised. Diana has a very unusual voice and artistic presentation for her age.🌹🌹🌹 Thanks in advance
Diana Ankudinova 😊👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🎉💫💯
Diana this is the best thing I've ever heard in my life 🤯 😍
Diana is very talanted, her voice is incredible 💥🤩
Diana Ankudinova is an amazing singer,her voice fascinates!
Mara Effect is what got me hooked on this band! Glad you covered it! On to Coheed ;)
This has to be one of the best music videos on RUclips. The performance is immaculate and it's already a set of amazing songs. And there's something just extra about actually seeing it with your eyes.
Part 2 is my favorite section, and part of it is because it has something unique in the sound. You mentioned that there might be a "folk" sound around this part and I think I've had a similar feeling, like it reminded me of some indie band. I thought I was just imagining it because I can't point to a specific song it reminds me off, but there's gotta be something buried in my subconscious. And even though I'm listening to them for the metal, I love the extra dimensions.
YES !! YOU FINALLY DID IT !! THANK YOU DAVID ! ❤️
Your welcome my brother!
I still want to be your friend. Lol. I bust out laughing at some of the stuff in these videos. Thank you. Happy birthday Howie
Ty Dawn B! You are my friend!!!
What a freakin’ journey!
Happy Birthday Howie 🎆
Ty brother SJ!
oooooh what a treat on a monday!
Happy Monday to you!
These 3 and a half songs are just beautiful they pull primal and nostalgic memories and feelings out
I don't know why it took me this long to find this reaction but I think you and I are the only people who mention that there is a folk element to this... and to Spiritbox in general. Even when she was in Unicron, there was an element of folk to how she wrote non-screamy melodies.
Yeah in her cleans I hear pop, some blues, and in this video a little more grunge/alt rock than usual. I hadn't thought of folk before but it makes sense
Love love love Spiritibox!!!
Puuuhhhlllleeeeaaassseee do a video on her one take performance of Circle with Me. You won't be disappointed!
This song is such an awesome masterpiece! Your reaction appreciated so many different aspects of it. So much to love.
You finally did it! I knew you’d really appreciate this masterpiece.
So far you've been the only musician I've been able to watch reviewing this video. I don't feel like that sounds like a compliment, but I certainly mean it as one! I really enjoyed the way you broke down and spoke about some technical aspects of the song without talking over your audience's heads. You know? Either way, awesome job my man. Thanks for the hard work.
Ah, Spiritbox's one and only guitar solo. I'm glad you love it as much as I do.
Yesss! I'm so glad you checked out this awesome 3 part song, I think Spiritbox is one of the strongest bands in the modern metal scene, i love them.
But if you loved this "little" music journey, I'm once again asking you to check Reptile by Periphery, it's a big track but the narrative is spilt into parts, it really gives you different vibes throughout it, i really think it's a modern masterpiece. It'd be great for an EP 150 special or something 😉
P.S. Happy Birthday Howie!!
Thank you so much for doing this reaction finally! I told ya you won't regret it! Hope you enjoyed it!
Speaking of bands that are only as good as their drummers, August Burns Red has arguably one of the best drummers in metalcore.
effing epic!! that was my first reaction too lol love it
YAAAASSSSS! You finally did it!!!
Oh yessss! This is amazing!
You need to check out their studio concert for liquid metal (preferably all three parts but I understand if you want to just do one!). They’re crazy good right there.
To say Im excited for this is an understatement. Im so happy you made this.
Suggestion: Stranger Things - Periphery
Yes, please. I love Stranger Things. Also David is probably gonna lose his mind over how tight Matt Halpern plays the drums.
@@knaggo6163 for real
Awesome! Love seeing you check out these wonderful and innovative recent bands!
Spiritbox are EPIC. Such incredibly amazing musicians, each one in their own right, and put together it is pure magic. I'm having a typical Monday, stressful, busy and multi-tasking left & right but I sat down down for 30 min. now while the world was spinning out of control without me. Thank you, this was just what I needed! ❤️Love your videos!
The radio noises in the background are from an actual Spiritbox session that the band recorded and used for the EP. It's such a perfect mixture of sounds this alone has made them one of my favorite bands. Great reaction! Happy Birthday Howie! Requesting until it happens! Run by Joji!!!
I wish I was me when I first heard this live performance
Hello, thank you for the video. I would like to see your reaction to the performances of Diana Ankudinova. This is a young singer, she has covers of famous songs, as well as her own songs.
Thank you so much for reacting to this!!! “A symphony of Metal” You are the best💙
Love these reactions. Sometimes all you need for a transition, is silence. Then hit that shit
and yes, the blues are in EVERYthing
Love the Spiritbox reactions, hope they keep coming! Sleep Token is another must - like others have said The Offering is great, also Blood Sport.
Can't wait for a Mars Volta reaction video. Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt, or Goliath!
Roulette Dares!
Cotopaxi
Both those songs are great too. they honestly don't have a song i dislike.
Been waiting for this! Thank you!!!! 🤘
Hell yeah, this is gonna be awesome!! Thanks so much for checking these tracks out, it's an amazing performance
Happy Birthday Howie!!! You rock! And keep making these edits hilarious. You two are awesome together 🎉🍻
Ooh yeah, that's the good stuff right there
I get to see them tomorrow night!!
U should check out their Sirius XM radio performance from earlier this year. 3 parts, 6 songs. It’s an awesome performance & really energetic.
I just discovered Spirtbox a couple weeks ago and was hoping you would review them soon.
We have a bunch of them
THE LIQUID METAL PERFORMANCE FROM SPIRITBOX IS A MUST WATCH TRUST ME
love your videos
Ps: Happy Birthday Howie
Ever seen one of those old paintings with a small demon looking thing sitting on a person's chest as they lie in bed? That's a Mara.
Sleep paralysis, there's also a related myth but it's an old hag or witch instead of a demon
I would LOVE to see Spiritbox react to your analysis.’
Best vid yet!
YESSSS
RIP Bill 😭
Wasn't sure if you had heard, but Spiritbox put out a beautiful acoustic version of Constance a bit back. There's a video of it from like a month ago and then they dropped just the track just the other day.
At this point, you probably already know about Courtney, Mike and Bill’s former bands, but probably know very little wboug Ryan’s former projects. Ryan drummed in Stutterfly and Secret & Whisper (edit: also Shreddy Krueger, I always forget about his most recent band). Definitely worth checking out, as they’re all unreal.
This is actually three seperate songs and an interlude. There are two other songs that make up the EP that this is on.
Depending on what language you translate it from, the Mara is slightly different things. Essentially though, it’s the god of nightmares.
I'm from Vernon BC originally. I remember when stutterfly was uncle Ed's private jet. I've seen them,and secret and whisper (and their previous stuff as the bleeding alarm) more times then I count back in my early 20s growing up in the scene in the Okanagan. Had no idea the drummer in this band was from those bands. I'm having a super weird nostalgia moment now.
@@nathancail7939 he played a few shows with them and played drums in a few videos as well. He was never a full blown member, but did help consult on the drums for some songs.
Yes!!!!! Finally!!!!!!
Sleep Token is right up your alley. The Offering is what I would recommend for your first song
Yeah... I can't help it. I love Courtney so much. And the whole band
I love Spiritbox!!! You know who else I love that I think you will too is ERRA give them a listen when you get the chance. Should start out with their song Monolith or Breach.
Hey Dave! I won't ask you today to do some Alesana since you did this blast. Will come back tomorrow, thanks!!
Happy birthday Howie! Still here to recommend Aviations-Outliers. Also Imminence-Heaven In Hiding would be interesting for you to check out.
YES! 🔥🔥🔥 He would have a field day dissecting Outliers. That song is such an wild journey with so many clever twists and turns.
Noiiice. Could you consider cold rain with the song mayday! Such a great track
I've loved Spirtbox for the last couple of years since late 2019. I really wish they'd stayed more like this sort of style rather than going a bit 'pop' with the arrangements and song construction. But they do 'pop' so amazingly well so lifelong fan right here!
PS Please do 'The Beauty of Suffering', either the original EP version, the first vocal version or the radio concert version. Please.
Great video as always, Sir
Next video please We Lost The Sea - A Gallant Gentleman 🙏
David Courtney at 8:00 massive technique. Do you recognize a classical approach to her belting part here? Love your channel brotha 🙏
I'm not a classically trained vocalist, so I don't know for sure. She seems like she has some serious training though.
Spiritbox is one of those bands that's even better live than on their studio recordings. They are awesome. They will be playing here in a few weeks, but they are opening for Limp Bizkit, which...eh, no. I guess I'll hold out for a headlining tour.
Starset - Bringing It Down (They played this acoustically yesterday; first time I've ever heard it acoustic! And yes, Dustin did the screams even thought it was acoustic. It was AWESOME.)
The 1 and only guitar solo from Mike....
Please, make a reaction to the songs of the singer Diana Ankudinova.
Don’t make a reaction to it (or do, I’d watch it) but on the Spiritbox YT Mike does a play through of circle with me and it’s INSANE how good of a musician he is.
Amazing choice. Next up you should listen to LORNA SHORE's To the Hellfire. I want to hear your reaction to their orchestration and otherworldly vocalist.
Fucking yes.
A song I'd love to see you react to is some of the work of Niel Circeretia. In particular, songs such as wow wow, piss, crocodile chop, or even the starting line. In any case, keep up the good work and I hope to keep seeing fun reactions
Patiently waiting for your reaction to Aviations “Outliers”
Hope you have that on your long list of songs 😊
finally i love you
Liquid Metal all 3 parts should be next. You'll gonna get more in depth analysis and observation on her singing live. Its the best out there
The intervals next, please
You should react to Between the Buried and me - 'Revolution in Limbo' ... sooo gooood!
