@@leonamann6272 you're right. It's not like he posted a cover of a new song a week ago...oh wait he did cause he still does covers. He also is streaming on twitch a lot now too since he's a partner now.
@@leonamann6272 I literally do a new cover every week, when it comes to the new songs some bands people want reactions more, some want covers more. For the "cover bands" I'll do covers :)
Nik Nocturnal My comment was really NOT supposed to be a hate comment or something like that, just to make sure... I just miss the good old days when you used to cover more songs than you react to (as you can already tell, I‘m not a fan of reaction videos) Anyway, I love your content Nik 🤘🏻
I just listened to both tracks and my thoughts were "yeah... a little safe for crystal lake, but i kinda miss that fist pumping vibe" and then "why are you trying to murder me"
God damn man this rips. Right there with Aeon!!!!! Would love to see your reaction to Distant-False Gods. There is a drop toward the end of the song that is so hard that it literally hurts my ears every time I hear it.
So glad you reviewed this song because I had no idea they released a SECOND one too. This one was a fucking banger. The drummer's name is Gaku, and he's a fucking monster
The reason why I love this band is for the simple fact that they can pretty much do an genre they want to. They even had a full on rap song on their last album.
The drummer does it by rolling with his feet (right right left left) using the heel-toe technique, instead of plain alternating (right left right left). This is leagues easier on the stamina.
It's interesting that you mention that crazy high scream Ryo does in this! I remember at the Neon Alien Tour last year he did this same kind of scream at the end of Aeon. It was chaotic and terrifyingly beautiful.
I can’t stop listening to their stuff. Between Crystal Lake and the new Boundaries album...I’ve essentially had goosebumps for months on end. Breakdown followed by breakdown on top of breakdowns. \m/\m/
I saw Crystal Lake live and holy shit if that wasn't one of the best shows I've ever been. So hecking heavy and chunky. Ryo is an amazing performer and the band is super nice as well!
Fun Fact: The 2 guitarist are the original members since the band started in 2002, Ryo, the vocalist, joined the band in 2012, while their drummer and bassist are the band's support members.. The drummer, Gaku Taura, is the former member from the band Nocturnal Bloodlust (which is also one of the best japanese visual kei metalcore/deathcore band, you should check it out btw) and then replaced by Natsu.
"Binary that shit" I fucking lost it :D Thank you for your content! With me going to university and becoming a father I really enjoy your reactions. Not only are you funny as shit but you also bring very good new music into my playlist, thank you!
Watch Me Burn is actually a very typical Crystal Lake song. Listen to True North and Helix. Tons of generic metalcore, experimental, and more "mainstream" tracks on those records. 'The Sign' is their best album for sure!! What sets this band apart is that they also write the most intense bangers, and don't give a fuck about appealing to just Hardcore metal heads. Saw them on their first ever North American tour, in London Ontario. Opened for Miss May I, Fit For a King and ABR. Grabbed a hoodie and talked to their rhythm guitarist before the show started. No one in line at their merch table. After they played, huge line. They absolutely stole that show!!
This song is the type that after this plays live they gotta give cigarettes to the crowd and collectively take a break. At the same time, give me more!
My cousin listened to crystal lake the first time and said they're Asian, there overly perfectionist. And I think that's why they do so many songs and nail it every time 😂
They actually reuploaded the video cause the audio was messed up, the "fixed" song got reuploaded like 12 hours ago, might wanna listen to it again now
You should comment on the Fleshgod Apocalypse - Violation, Sunless Rise - Recovering the truth, Bring Me The Horizon - Crucify, Pierce The Veil - Caraphernelia, Breakdown of Sanity - Deadline and there are some more! Anyway, lot of detailed analysis and much respect and i like it! Lot of talk, comparison, good explanations, good sense for music, even there is a humor. Lots of respect and keep up the good work!

“THERE IS NO ESCAPE, ITS DEATH OR SUBMISSION” I think I’ve already submitted before the song started
Seven year old me when I refused to eat the peanut butter and my mom would ask why: 2:01
You really did that...
Hahaha
I laughed way too hard at this 😂😂😂
you win bruh XD
✨✨I don't understand 🤠✨✨
That drummer is definitely the result of giving a demon five litres of pure liquid caffeine. The breaks were just to get a top up.
"mobile refueling" for the drummer
He looks like he's taking psychic damage from this song lol
I did
Thanks for introducing me to this band btw
These guys got every mood covered with their music it's insane xD
Gaku Taura is a drumming legend and most don't know it yet.
I just listened to both tracks and my thoughts were "yeah... a little safe for crystal lake, but i kinda miss that fist pumping vibe" and then "why are you trying to murder me"
This song is just a 3+minute breakdown.
Right lol
Good.
Yes 😂
Hey that's not a bad thing.
@@Guenter34 i know. It's really fucking good.
So how many breakdowns you want for this song?
Crystal Lake: yes

I can’t read all of that but the fire line is “Nice reaction!”
Crystal Lake was just reborn from hell and dragged us with them through sludge with a 300lb chain.

All the good graces of the world upon you good sir.
Bound In Fear has some pretty thick shit, too. Nothing like that, but still brutal as ever living hell.
Just when you thought “I wonder what they’re up to” they SLAMMED down two ABSOLUTE BANGERS

"I just want some crystal meth in my life" Nik Nocturnal july 2020
it's been almost 2 years, and we still haven't seen a full verision of "Maka Me Cri" from the most used intros in metal video :'(
The drummer does it by rolling with his feet (right right left left) using the heel-toe technique, instead of plain alternating (right left right left). This is leagues easier on the stamina.
just saw them live at knotfest japan 2023. fucking awesome, love them so much
