NEWS: Crystal Lake escape from the Everblack!

Guest performances from David Simonich (Signs Of The Swarm), Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage), Myke Terry (Volumes), Taylor Barber (Left To Suffer) and Karl Schubach (Misery Signals) grace “The Weight Of Sound“, a long awaited and highly anticipated new album from Japanese Metalcore merchants Crystal Lake. It captures the quintet at their most dynamic, innovative and emotionally charged, balancing razor‑sharp metalcore, crushing deathcore elements, atmospheric electronics with immersive melodic passages. Celebrating it’s release via Century Media, the band have shared a music video for opening heavy hitter “Everblack“.

Guitarist and founder YD shares about the album: “This record is a crossover masterpiece, infused with the years of experience and the attitude we’ve forged together. It’s a convergence of diverse styles that defines the present-day Crystal Lake. We invite you to immerse yourselves in our ever-evolving world.”

Vocalist John Robert Centorrino adds: ”This whole new album is about the ups and downs of my life. The most personal I’ve ever been on a record. A lot of the lyrics reference each other. I wouldn’t call it conceptual, but it’s definitely a poetic diary-esque journey into my life. I cried writing 80% of these songs. I died a little bit again with each word. As I wrote, I relived. This is the real me. The story of a man you love to hate. Enjoy.”

Crystal Lake, Miss May I, Great American Ghost and Diesect will be swanning around Europe like they own the place…
