Spiritbox
Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre — West Valley City, UT

Spiritbox is the project of Courtney LaPlante, a Canadian metalcore vocalist who emerged in the mid-2010s with a distinctive approach to heavy music. After years of backing vocals and collaborations, LaPlante launched Spiritbox as a full creative statement, releasing the album Eternal Blue in 2021. The album showcased her range—capable of everything from intricate vocal layering and melodic passages to absolutely punishing screams, often within the same song. Tracks like "Holy Shit" and "Circle With Me" became streaming staples, introducing progressive metalcore to listeners who might not typically seek out heavy music. What sets Spiritbox apart is the structural ambition behind the songs; they're not just heavy for heaviness's sake, but built with genuine compositional ideas. LaPlante's technical ability and willingness to write songs that shift between brutality and vulnerability made Spiritbox feel relevant in a way that revitalized interest in metalcore as a whole. The follow-up work has continued this trajectory of experimentation within the heavy music space.

Spiritbox crowds are unusually attentive for metalcore shows—people actually listen between the breakdowns. LaPlante commands the stage with focus rather than theatrics. Pits form but don't dominate; heads stay up to catch the intricate vocal arrangements. The energy feels concentrated, purposeful.

Spiritbox brought their particular brand of mathcore-adjacent heaviness to Rockwell in Salt Lake City on May 3rd, 2025, running through a 16-song set that showed real range. They opened with "Fata Morgana" and settled into the heavier moments—"The Void" and "Sew Me Up" hit different in a room that size—but the real surprise was how much space they gave to the stranger material. "Rotoscope" and "Secret Garden" aren't obvious crowd-pleasers, yet they landed hard. The set closed with "Ride the Wave," which felt like the natural endpoint after spending an hour moving between their angular riffs and Courtney LaPlante's vocals that shift from controlled to genuinely unsettling depending on the song.

Salt Lake City's heavy music scene has quietly built something legitimate over the past decade, moving past the stereotype of a quiet, conservative music market. Venues like Rockwell have become credible stops for bands doing interesting things with heavy music—bands that blur the lines between math rock, metalcore, and something weirder entirely. Spiritbox fits naturally into that space, where technical proficiency and genuine weirdness aren't mutually exclusive.

Stay in the Avenues neighborhood—tree-lined streets with actual character, close enough to downtown but removed from the noise. For dinner, Lazy Dog in Sugar House serves exceptional Colorado lamb and maintains a wine list that doesn't insult your intelligence. Spend an afternoon at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Red Butte Canyon; the building itself is architecturally stunning and the collection gives real context to the landscape you're actually standing in. The city's proximity to actual mountains matters when you've got downtime.
