I'm seriously so happy Crystal Lake is still going strong after Ryo's departure. All the new material with John has been incredible and I can't wait for a new album!

Glad to see this band getting some western exposure. Japan has some of the hardest and most unique metal on the planet.

Western exposure? Crystal Lake is literally one of the most popular metalcore bands in the world lol

@mr.keiser4259 true, but no one talks about them, ever. I've never heard anyone mention them irl, and only people who like Japanese music mention them online.

I love these guys so much! Crystal Lake is one of my favourite bands of all time and I love YD, Mitsuru, TJ and Gaku! Although I miss Ryo, John is the perfect singer for this band and he’s such a cool and talented dude! The Light Audition process was one of the best things I’ve ever watched and was glued to the show to see who the new singer would be! Thank you for having everyone on!

Yeah I was shocked too when I found out how long crystal lake has been around. Only discovered them a couple years ago. Goes to show you how long and how hard it is for Japanese bands to break out over here in the U.S.

Crystal Lake has been my favorite band for many years and I saw them live in Chicago!1 I met John he was a great guy and one of the best vocalists I've ever seen. Greatest concert of my life. I'm so happy to see this band go this far and see people finally start to recognize them. They got some of the best music i ever heard and they were all great to meet. When Ryo left i thought was the band but John really helped out i love them sm.

Feels weird without Shinya and Ryo saw Crystal Lake on their first U.S. tour they stole the show as per usual was sad they left listened to denial and rebirth and got hooked with John hopefully a collab with ryo eventually like killswitch did with Jesse and Howard but these fellas still kick ass

Niceeee. I'm not gonna lie, I keep forgetting to listen to the post-Ryo stuff but I was a huge fan of Helix except for a song or two that was really cringe. I learned how to play +81 awhile ago for a cover video. That's probably my favorite song of theirs. Very diverse band!

+81 is such a banger and Helix is an amazing album!

He said more than once on this podcast that they were constantly arguing and the negative theme of band was wearing on him.

@HateChvrch 6 ай бұрын

Because unfortunately, everything about that band was overly negative. The music. The lyrics. The Members, our fans, our process. Our future plans. Everything. You name it. The 3 of us couldn't handle it anymore so we quit. Im sure it's very obvious to see the happy difference in each of our lives since leaving. Genuinely, good luck to those new guys in their efforts. I have no ill will. Tyler is a dope singer. Drew is a monster musician & Dylan is a great drummer.
