I am kind of in love with spiritbox and my playlist is so deathcored and super heavy metalcored out that when I found spiritbox it was so unique and added something completely different to my norm of what I listen to. Is there any other artists or bands similar to spiritbox in the sense of like more on the mellow/pop side that is similar to them? Bonus points if they are female fronted because I love a good ass angelic voice. Alright thank you
As Everything Unfolds, Future Palace, Conquer Divide
Atonement and Paradise by Conquer Divide introduced me to them
Conquer Divide speaking truths 🤘
Hey! I'm seeing Conquer divide soon, good shout.
Conquer Divide and Reliqa!
Reliqa's new album is sooo good
I need to check them out then, thanks!
Reliqa is so underrated it hurts, the new album and the ep is absolutely phenomenal
Novelists
Underrated answer 🤘🖤 exceptional musicians! And with all the feels!
Not female fronted but you may enjoy Invent Animate
Weirdly enough I feel like an outsider as I can’t really get into them 😂 they are still cool though
Tesseract and newer Novelists
On the heavier side, but have to rec VEXED. Also Gore. is very cool but only has two songs out so far.
IGNITION FR have a new EP that just dropped and that’s awesome too. Venues and SETYØURSAILS are some other ones worth checking out.
All are fronted by women
SETYOURSAILS🤘ooo venues….GORE - doomsday 🖤 thank you for the recommendations! ✌️
LOVE VEXED, seriously underrated 💜 Thanks for the other recs 🤘🏻✌🏼
I’ll toss in a vote for Polaris. Found them at the same time as Spiritbox and love both bands.
They're a bit different but check out Jinjer. They rule
jinjer are so so good
I'll be seeing Jinjer and Spiritbox on the same day at a music festival in September, I'd love a tour with them together.
Destiny Potato. They only have 1 album but it's pretty decent. I like Addict and Indifferent
They have a newer album under a new name, sordid pink
Awesome, I had no idea. I'll check it out, thankyou!
Try listen to Prisoner by Ankor, that song fits the description, but unfortunately their other songs don't from what I've seen
Ankor are so good!
I keep hoping they tour NA as follow them, awesome band.
Venom slaps too.
Follow up, also try Terminal Sleep for harder stuff, it's got that early Spiritbox heavy feel to it
Erra’s new album Cure gives me major Spiritbox vibes (prob because it was also produced by Dan Braunstein)
ERRA. Check out their album Augment. Their newest album, Cure also has a bunch of Spiritbox vibe. Blue Reverie and Rumor of Light, in particular.
Rolo Tamassi
I’ve recently come across Red Handed Denial. Their latest album “A journey through virtual dystopia” has scratched that itch. Some great recommendations in this thread!
Silent Planet, Invent Animate, Erra
I can give you soft/mellow But not female fronted: dayseeker. Tbh those bands should tour together somepoint
Seconded. I really loved Dark Sun, and I'm warming up to Sleeptalk as well.
Origins, not a huge fan of tbh. I don't think Rory's harsh vocals are particularly good, at least not to my ear. His cleans are fantastic though, and I am happy that he's leaned more into them with time.
Infected rain or butcher babies if you want a female singer but I would listen to after the burial if you like spiritbox’s heavier stuff, they also toured together and are pretty good live
Future static are very new just released their first album. But they have a lot of polish and female vocals
Novelists, landmvrks too
I found spirtbox when I started listening to Jinjer .. they are quite a bit more on the metal side but they are so dam good 👍 and Tatiana (lead singer) is so dam talented well hell the whole band shreds
Just came across this band called Breakk.Away
You just put me on, exactly what I was looking for, tyty
There honestly isn't a female-fronted band anything like Spiritbox out there. From what everyone's already mentioned, it's close, but you're not going to get anything quite like them. I do recommend ANKOR though.
dying wish and jinjer!
The newer TIMŌRĀTUS stuff.
Cerebral bore
Cryoshell is a band I’ve loved forever, and they might scratch the itch you’re having. They’re a female fronted metal band - not as heavy hitting as Spiritbox, and no screamed vocals, but still loud as hell, energetic, and sometimes angelic. They aren’t a super active band though, but that also means it’s pretty easy to listen through the music they do have. I’d recommend their songs Faux and Come To My Heaven
Gore! Not a lot out yet, but I love it so far.
I wouldn't call them mellow but you should at least check out Iwrestledabearonce, Courtney was the singer on their last two albums and the original singer is amazing as well!
Two lesser known bands with female vocalists are Where We Walk and breakk.away Good luck! I'm gonna save this post so I can make a playlist from all the suggestions :D
Project Renegade (I'd start with https://youtu.be/Fm-IsQuz6uo?si=QpQ9U2Yfva_xSMlJ)
I had to scroll way too far to find Jinjer on this list. I like Spiritbox, but I fucking love Jinjer!
Make Them Suffer (female vocalist), Jinger (female fronted), Architects all have similar vibes - Also Sleep Token are very melodic.
you might enjoy the old "Dream State" stuff! I recommend starting with their songs "Rebuild, Recreate" (this one gives me forever goosebumps), "White Lies" & "Primrose"
and one artist I can't recommend enough is "Ifa"! Every single one of her releases so far are so, so good. "Burn Your Desire" & "Haunted" and her metal cover of "Baraye" are just perfection. And new music is on its way!
Breakk.away
I haven't seen Imminence mentioned. Not female fronted but Eddie has great harsh and clean vocals, and Eddie's violin gives it a unique vibe. Though I wouldn't say they have that pop sound like SB.
If you really want to up the pop sound Electric Callboy is just fun.
NOVELISTS
Silent Planet
You should listen to Jinjer, their front woman tatiana shmylauk is a goddess!
I think you’d really like Nihilist Abyss. Super lush melodic vocals with some screams but not to the extent that Courtney does. The self titled EP will probably best fit what you’re looking for, and then there’s a few singles that you might like too.
For something less melodic, I’m really digging Future Palace right now too!
Second huge up vote for Nihilist Abyss! Very much an Amy Lee vibe to her voice. Found her on TikTok not long ago and she’s gonna be on top in my Spotify wrapped this year right next to Spiritbox
So, I'm a bit picky when it comes to music and I don't like branching out from what I like. With that said, I have been branching out.
Bands that have similar mellow/pop feel (in my opinion) songs or overall vibe are: Sleep Token, Ghost, Opeth, Deftones, In Flames, Dayseeker, Polaris, Cradle of Filth, In This Moment, HIM, ERRA, Lacuna Coil, Periphery, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Dimmu Borgir, Epica, Caskets, Wage War. I'm sure there are more but I just can't think of them.
Breakk.away ! They're a nice mix of sleep token and spiritbox, and very calming!
Sleep Token.
Already in the playlist. Great band
Do you know Dayseeker? They might be perfect for what you’re looking for
took me too long to find this comment
Someone had to do it! 😂🫡
dayseeker are the best tbh, saw them in september 2023 and they had an amazing set. they also had some cool openers, Silent Planet was one!! super cool show
Same dude! Seen em like 4 times now I think. And that your the opener was Moxy The Band if you didn’t know 🫡
Bit out there but i would recommend dance Gavin dance
Bring Me The Horizon, Sleep Token, Architects, Bad Omens, and Spiritbox are always on rotation when I see someone from one of these fanbases asking for "similar sounding music". You're a Spiritbox fan, so I would recommend the other 4 I have mentioned.
Some other bands you could try are Linkin Park, Crown The Empire (their first 2 or 3 albums anyway), Starset, and Motionless In White. If you don't mind the addition of rap, I can definitely recommend I Prevail and Falling In Reverse as well.
Unfortunately, none of these bands are female fronted. I think Spiritbox is pretty unique in that regard when it comes to the particular style of music they put out. I could be wrong though, as my music taste is ever expanding, and I haven't listened to every artist that has ever existed.
Jinjer maybe?
Oathbreaker and Dying Wish are fairly similar
While I love both bands I think the similarities don’t go much further than female metal
I just named a couple I hadn't seen listed yet, and was leaning into the "female fronted angelic voice" thing OP mentioned. They're both bands that scratch the same itch for me with the clean vocals. I don't really know of any bands that have a similar sound to Spiritbox anyways.
I can’t really change your mind if you think caro sounds like Courtney but I just don’t hear it
Sleep Token is basically metal with pop lol.
Also, Pitfalls by Leprous is very poppy while also having metal songs. Very different from Spiritbox though
Bad Omens
Of course Architects, they were an inspiration to Spiritbox 🤗
make them suffer!
