CRYSTAL LAKE’s best and most popular songs (21–30)

Twisted FateCrystal Lake

Crystal Lake -Twisted Fate-【Official Video】

This is a song that truly embodies Crystal Lake.

It’s a storm of hardcore.

Despite how heavy it is, it’s a track you can still sing along to.

The part where it makes you think it’s going into a key-change breakdown but doesn’t—and then the real breakdown hits afterward—is absolutely the best.

Crystal Lake – Waves (Track Video)

It starts off in a way that’s typical of Crystal Lake, but once it actually kicks in, it feels different.

It seems like they’re trying something new.

I like that they’re taking on new ideas while still keeping that Crystal Lake vibe.

It’s awesome.

Wide EyedCrystal Lake

This is a cover of The Ghost Inside, a band that’s world-famous in this genre.

It’s been done really well.

And Yosh from Sabapuro, who’s been the talk of the town lately, is collaborating on it.

His clean vocals make a big impact.

It’s awesome.

SanctuaryCrystal Lake

Formed in 2002, Crystal Lake is the band that truly represents Japan’s metalcore scene in both name and reality.

From their early days, they actively toured not only in Japan but overseas as well, and they’ve now become a band that fires up audiences around the world.

While rooted in classic metalcore, their wide-ranging sound sometimes evokes the late-’90s loud rock movement, and at other times reveals a modern technical metal edge.

It’s fair to say they embody Japanese metalcore itself.

Crystal Lake – Light Up The Tunnel (Audio)

This is one of my favorite songs too.

I love its grand, expansive feel.

The chorus is really pleasant to listen to.

It also has a pop touch in the chorus, which makes it easy to listen to.

Above all, that sense of grandeur is just incredibly cool.

It sounded awesome when I heard it live, too.
