Crystal Lake’s biggest growth in popularity would come when they released the video for their song “Apollo” in 2017. The video found itself on darn near every metalcore mix on Youtube and it allowed the band to finally start touring Europe in 2018. Crystal Lake would start hosting their own festival in 2017 titled “True North” which featured many local Japanese metalcore/deathcore bands as well as international acts. Crystal Lake would announce at the second True North festival that they signed to Sharptone Records and their fifth album, ''Helix,'' would release in 2018. Crystal Lake would do their first American tours in 2019 supporting August Burns Red in early 2019 and a second tour supporting Northlane and Music/{{Erra}} that summer, in between doing summer festivals and Europe and many large domestic Japan tours. A followup to ''Helix'' is in the oven at time of writing this page, and as soon as they can Crystal Lake will be back on the road.

Crystal Lake is a metalcore band formed in Tokyo, Japan in 2002. Initially one of the many hardcore bands that emerged from Japan in the early 2000s, through perseverance, adapting to changes in the music scene, and good timing, they became one of the most popular metalcore bands in the late 2010’s and Japan's biggest export of the genre.
The first lineup of Crystal Lake consisted of guitarists Yudai Miyamoto and Shinya Hori, vocalist Kentaro Nishimura, bassist Seiji Nagasawa, and drummer Yusuke Ishihara. With this lineup they released two demos, ''Freewill'' and ''One Word Changes Everything.'' They started touring Japan and Asia soon after, supporting other hardcore bands. They released their first split with fellow Japanese hardcore bands Loyal to the Grave and Extinguish the Fire called ''Blood of Judas.'' Crystal Lake would follow up with a second split called ''3 Way Split'' with Risen and Unboy. Crystal Lake released their first full length album ''Dimension'' in 2006. Crystal Lake’s popularity would gradually build, doing direct support for international acts in Japan such as I Killed the Prom Queen and Hatebreed. Bassist Seiji Nagasawa would leave the band in 2007 and be replaced by Yasuyuki Kotaka. Their next album, ''Into the Great Beyond'' would drop in 2011 and as expected, Crystal Lake would do more domestic tours in support of the album. However, this would be their last release with founding vocalist Kentaro Nishimura and drummer Yusuke Ishihara.
In April 2012 Crystal Lake announced their new vocalist, Ryo Kinoshita, and live drummer, Gaku Taura (ex-A Ghost of Flare) via Facebook. Their first release with Ryo was the EP ''Cubes.'' Crystal Lake also released a cover of [[Music/LimpBizkit Rollin’]] which got quite a bit of traction on Website/YouTube. In 2015 Crystal Lake announced they signed to Artery Recordings and they would distribute their third full length, ''The Sign'' in 2015. ‘’The Sign’’ saw the band changing up genres from a metallic hardcore sound to a modern metalcore sound that would alienate some fans but would bring them much more popularity. As expected, more tours would happen in Japan and Asia. In August 2015, bassist Yasuyuki Kotaka would leave the band due to failing health and Teruyuki Takahashi would replace him. Crystal Lake would follow up ''The Sign'' with their fourth studio album ''True North'' in 2015. Teruyuki Takahashi would leave the band in 2016 and was replaced by Mitsuru.

* NuMetal: No doubt been on influence on the band (they cover Rollin’ for crying out loud). It wasn’t until Ryo joining the band would nu-metal be incorporated in their music (mostly as rapping).
* OnlyOneName: Live bassist Mitsuru is known as... Mitsuru.
* OutOfGenreExperience: “Just Confusing” off ''Helix'' could be described as a trap song.
* PissTakeRap: “Apollo” is the best example of this, and not the only example in their discography.
* RockTrio: Technically, Crystal Lake is officially Yudai, Shinya, and Ryo. Mitsuru and Gaku are listed as live fill-ins.
* SpecialGuest: Quite a few for their studio efforts:
** Ikepy (Her Name in Blood), Senta (Numb), Yosh (Survive Said the Prophet), Kenta Koie (crossfaith), Makoto (Sand), Jake Taylor (In Hearts Wake), Hironobu Onose (Fact), Kaya Otomo, Jesse [=Mc=]Faddin (Rize), [[Music/{{Issues}} AJ Rebollo]], Masato Hayakawa (Coldrain), and Daniel [=Mc=]Whorter and Tyler Riley (Gideon).
** Ryo himself has been featured on tracks from Coldrain, End These Days, The Royal, Fit for a King, Awake the Dreamer, Breakdown of Sanity, and Before My Life Fails.
* SopranoAndGravel: Ryo mostly sticks to harshes and raps. If there’s a feature, chances are they’ll contribute cleans.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Ryo is fluent in English, and it shows in his lyrics. If a member is in an interview it more than likely will be Ryo for this reason. That said, the other members are conversational level of English.
** JapaneseRanguage: Mostly on “Rollin’.” “KEEP RORRIN RORRIN RORRIN.”
* WolverinePublicity: Ryo has become this for the Japanese metal community. He’s on ''a lot'' of features.
