Canadian metal band Spiritbox has returned with the new single “Mourning,” released via Pale Chord/Rise Records and its first new music since its 2025 album “Tsunami Sea.”
The new song comes with a music video co-directed by Alex Bemis and Spiritbox guitarist Mike Stringer. The visual signals a distinct evolution from the black-and-white aesthetic that defined the “Tsunami Sea” era, bringing the band into a vivid natural world. Performance-driven scenes place Spiritbox against a series of outdoor landscapes, including an ethereal honeycomb-like structure, while the recurring presence of a mysterious hooded figure adds an ominous undercurrent to the imagery.
“Tsunami Sea,” released in March 2025, debuted at number 1 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart and number 26 on the Billboard 200. The era also earned Spiritbox its third consecutive Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance for “Soft Spine.”
Elsewhere, vocalist Courtney LaPlante recently teamed with Bring Me the Horizon’s Oli Sykes and producer Grabbitz for “If the Sun Burns Out Tonight,” the official anthem for the 2026 Valorant Champions Tour, set for release Sept. 16. At the end of August, she also announced her first signature vocal plugin with MixWave, a modular vocal suite developed around the tools and techniques behind her unmistakable sound.
Spiritbox recently wrapped a North American run supporting Evanescence and will return overseas in September 2026 for its “Tsunami Sea” U.K. and European tour with Jinjer and Dying Wish. The run features the band’s biggest U.K. headline shows yet, including London’s OVO Arena Wembley, before Spiritbox return stateside to perform with Metallica at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut in November. The band will close out the year in Australia with appearances at Good Things Festival in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
