HIGH SPIRITS began in Chicago in early 2009 with a series of fun songwriting sessions and demo recordings. Soon, there were 10 songs recorded, enough for an album. It was released as a plain white label LP at the band’s first live show, which was in August of 2009. Only a handful copies sold that night, but the rest sold quickly through the mail to fans all over the world.
Since then the band has released two full-length albums, Another Night (2011) and You Are Here (2014), a compilation of demos High Spirits (2009) and a couple of singles and EP’s.

Motivator by High Spirits is going to be catalogue number 500 on High Roller Records! Following their self-titled debut album and follow-up, Another Night, High Spirits have already put their difficult third album behind them. You Are Here has been widely regarded as the band’s most accomplished work to date.
With their fourth album Motivator, High Spirits once again prove that heavy metal can be performed the traditional way without sounding stale.
