Spiritbox have announced a new EP, The Fear of Fear, due Nov. 3 via Rise/Pale Chord. It has six songs, including recent single “The Void” and the just-released “Jaded.” AltPress has teamed up with the band on an exclusive violet splatter vinyl variant, limited to just 500 copies.

“We wrote this music because we really wanna share it with you,” vocalist Courtney LaPlante said in an interview with Revolver earlier this year. “It made us feel a certain way, and we wanna see if it makes you feel a certain way, too.”

LaPlante said themes in the new material include “mental prisons, body horror, visual illusions, and disillusionment,” and added, “To me, all these songs are one big song, lyrically and thematically. If everything aligns and we feel really strongly that everything hits exactly how we want — the art and the music and the whole thing around it — we’ll want to put this out as soon as possible. If we do our job right, then we will.” It looks like they did their job right — listen to “Jaded” below.
