Tsunami Sea is the upcoming second studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Spiritbox. It is set to be released on March 7, 2025, through Pale Chord and Rise Records. After releasing two extended plays in 2022 and 2023, it is the full-length follow-up to the highly successful Eternal Blue (2021).
After production issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic delayed its release for 17 months, [1] the band's debut album, Eternal Blue , was released in September 2021 to overwhelming success. [2] The pandemic also disrupted the album's promotion cycle; each of the first two tours the band had ever attempted ended up being cancelled, the latter of which almost caused them to collapse from financial hardship. Thanks to gifts from other artists, the band stabilized and was able to continue. [3] The band's first ever live performances finally proceeded in early 2022, [4] and touring for the album's promotion concluded in mid-2023. [5] [6] In the interim, the band released the extended plays Rotoscope and The Fear of Fear in mid-2022 and late 2023, respectively. [7] [8] The Fear of Fear contained "Jaded" and "Cellar Door", two songs which would each be nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in consecutive years. [9] [10]
On December 14, 2023, LaPlante confirmed in a Revolver interview that the band planned to create another full-length album in 2024. [11] That same day, Korn announced a July 2024 concert in Poland which featured Spiritbox as a guest. [12] The following month, it was announced Spiritbox would accompany Korn for their United Kingdom tour in August 2024, [13] and a few days after that, it was revealed the band was in a recording studio with Jordan Fish, the keyboardist who had recently departed Bring Me the Horizon. [14]
Spiritbox will embark on a European headlining tour in February 2025, making five stops in Germany and one each in London, Paris and Tilburg. [15] [16] On September 6, 2024, the band released the single "Soft Spine"; [17] a music video for the song followed on September 26. [18] On November 18, the band announced the title of the album would be Tsunami Sea. Set to be released on March 7, 2025, the band released the album's second single, "Perfect Soul", alongside the announcement. [19] [20]
