REACTING to CRYSTAL LAKE (Aeon) 🎤🥁🔥

This one was brutal. Heavier than 2020 and Crystal Lake delivered once again with Aeon. Becoming one of my favourites to react to.

Great Breakdown of the Beakdown in a song of Breakdowns

[@ChaseCarneson]

I vibe this comment

[@leatfingies1367]

This comment should be pinned.

[@juliettemcgee9055]

"I HAS TO." Can you stop being adorable? So happy you finally got to Aeon. There's so much happening in this song that you can get lost, I got quite lost too when you mentioned "quick, quick and a long", I was like, wait what was that for again? Haha. Heavier than 2020? That's gotta be Demon King by Brand of Sacrifice. The most brutal song I've ever heard this year. I mentioned this on Tank's reaction too. Be great if you guys kick off 2021 with some triple-fist in your face.

[@ChaseCarneson]

🙋🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😊. This was way to much fun. Yeah my words have lost me a little along the way. Makes sense in my head I guess. You're funny.

[@juliettemcgee9055]

@@ChaseCarneson shows you are genuine and most of the things you said aren't scripted :) I'm funny? 🤷‍♀️ NO, YOU ARE. Where's that NO shirt when you need it haha.

[@ChaseCarneson]

@@juliettemcgee9055 Haha you are though. Haha I have 1/1 NO shirts

[@leatfingies1367]

Saw your comments on almost every band I follow. You seem like my kinda girl. Great taste in music. Agreed Demon King by BOS is the most heaviest song of the year. The breakdown breaks my face.

[@y1x1ng222]

"This is terrifying...I like it!" I like YOU, Chase! Thank you so much for another great video breakdown. Keep doing the damn thing!!!

[@ChaseCarneson]

🙏🙏🙏

[@kdm704]

Man Chase, we got “Palm Mute Gang,”, “the vocals are icing on top of the heaviest cake you’ve ever heard... eaten”, “this is terrifying... I like it”, “so the drummer doesn’t have feet, he has machine guns!”, and “this is too much though, but also not enough”, in the same video! Your greatest reaction yet!

[@ChaseCarneson]

I do my best 🙋🏼‍♂️😂👌

[@corev4lues]

I absolutely love when bands like this chuck in some classic hardcore stuff absolutely fantastic. Also can vouch for them playing this live the drummer is not human. They put on such a sick show! Watch their live performance from resurrection fest actually fuckn insane.

[@KitsuneUK]

You should react to Thornhill! Beatuiful metalcore coming from Australia from a relatively new band. Where we go when we die is a banger!

[@olivernalen]

You are right. That song is definatrly up his alley.

[@Basti_Path]

love the instrumentals and the voice of the singer.. they are awesome

[@jordanrice6942]

Yes yes yea was gonna suggest this myself

[@leatfingies1367]

Either he’s already familiar with Thornhill or it hasn’t been requested enough.

[@corev4lues]

1+ Thornhill reaction please

[@LT.BrianM]

Best, most technical breakdown of a complicated track I’ve seen! Well done sir. Every time I watch your reaction I’m blown away that you can point out things I haven’t noticed after hearing these songs countless times.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you so much

@@ChaseCarneson nonono...YEEEEESSSSSS

[@kuramu_rex]

"so the drummer doesn't have feet, he has 2 machine guns." accurate.

[@MaltGambit]

That ending is the build up and fade into the next track, "Agony". Honestly, at some point just do yourself a favour and listen to the entirety of the album (Helix) :)

[@tristanthai3483]

I agree I have the red and clear vinyl of that album its so sick the transitions are so clean its overall a really good album

[@rocioiribe5841]

one of my favorites I've discovered through your channel!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Glad you enjoy it! Also, shout out discovering new bands.

[@yeetaliano]

your reactions always give me much needed serotonin boosts istg

[@ChaseCarneson]

Aaah this makes me happy

[@brunowilliam7529]

you asked for a live version: There is a good liveset from ressurection fest 2019 of crystal lake, you should check songs from that out. There are timestamps :)

[@ericw4562]

I’m so happy you and Tank introduced me to this band, they’re incredible musicians. Just stupid talented. #palmmutegang #packalunch #schoowee

[@161crusher161]

Im gonna comment this until you do it: Spiritbox - The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound. Its very beautiful and im sure you got a lot to analyze there. Love your reaction style ;)

[@ericwilson5453]

👆this

[@allbranflakes]

Dude yes, would be an awesome reaction

[@eileenue]

I am so glad that u discoverd Crystal Lake.🤩🤘

[@DemonLordRaiden]

YEEEEEEES! So glad you got around to Aeon, it's by far my favorite Crystal Lake track. Every member really shows off what they can do on this song and it's amazing.

[@ArtMGavr]

Oooo man! They make me laugh sooo loud)))) absolutely crazy! And your analysis is very good, as always)

[@novaasher1185]

Aaaaaand the candidate for Thumbnail of the Year goes to: *drum rolls* Ginger Vampire with his reaction to Crystal Lake's Aeon. Going head-to-head with him is Elizabeth aka The Charismatic Voice for her extremely confused face on the thumbnail for her reaction to Ne Obliviscaris' And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Hahah the final voting ends midnight tomorrow!!!

[@AngirasDarbha]

If you like this song, the featured vocalist is actually the guitarist for this band called Issues. You should listen to Hero, The Realest, or Tapping Out. Really cool stuff.

[@needforspeedwww]

Hi Chase! If you want to check out a live version of the song Aeon you should see the live version at Ressurection Fest from Spain. It's absolute kick ass the whole gig, pure raw energy.

[@deadlyxballerina]

Gotta do hail to the fire next! I'd say watch the one from resurrection fest because it's their set opener and you get to see them in full force and full energy. It'll blow your mind.

[@leatfingies1367]

Banger of a reaction and analysis dude. They’re even better live🤘🏻🔥

[@austindimaria6708]

there is a full live show from resurection fest from them

[@Basti_Path]

Yeah! they are so crazy good!

[@NotABigDil]

They are better live than in their recordings somehow. I’ve seen them everytime they’ve played in my city now, was my last show before this covid mess

[@a.s.vieira7846]

Blast beat rules over there

[@daniel1138]

The drummer of Crystal Lake is also working as a producer for other bands. So if you wonder how it would sound if Crystal Lake were 4 young girls, mixing heavy breakdowns with Rap, Kawaii Vocals and a good portion of irony, his protegees Hanabie are yours to check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWKbqqyshaiciq8. They are heavy and catchy as hell. Gaku has machine gun feet and good taste.

[@onlinejobs1.18]

Exactly what I was searching for ❤️❤️❤️ came here after holy roller feat Crystal lake reaction

[@goodnightosaka]

This song got me into extreme metal, super glad you dig it too! Love hearing your thoughts mate

[@tidusx665]

I saw them last year in London Ontario, was amazing live!

[@Malty44]

There is a plethora of videos of these guys playing this song live! Enjoy :)

[@steven_steve_steve2308]

As always awesome video, my dude! Hope you managed to calm down again. Next song you could listen to imo is "Hail to the Fire". Is a song from the same album and I think you will like it ;). Dont wanna spoil anything.

[@janhromas7276]

Another great reaction video, Chase. You're doing well again. I wish you a Happy New Year and all the best until 2021 :-).

[@koyle8384]

Crystal Lake was the last show I went to this year. Way to go out with a bang 🤘

[@kamilnowak5168]

I absolutely love your reactions. You always open my mind to important details I missed even tho I've known the song for months/years. ❤️

[@josiahw9915]

Yes! Keep 'em coming! 👊 Edit: Btw if you want to hear more demonic Aeon, check out Defamed - Aeon. Straight from the pits of hell.

[@mordt4889]

I saw them live last year, it was my last concert before.... stuff happened. I had never heard of the band before, I just wanted to hear one song before the show and ended up with this one. So I expected a brutal and chaotic show....man was I right and wrong at the same time :D incredible show bye awsome talents and so diverse! Needless to say: I loved it! Alpha + Omega also great songs, they build on each other. Unfortunately there is only a video for Omega And if you want to check something new: ABIOGENESIS - Visualize You will love it ;)

[@erniedinda509]

Nice and heavy, heavy cake is good cake. A great song, great reaction. Thanks.

[@xTahoe]

please check out devilcry by crystal lake as well, one of my favorites by them

[@leatfingies1367]

Yes! Another banger from them 🤘🏻

[@pupperoni1500]

Yessss, that‘s the stuff I‘m digging! Still waiting for you reacting to „The Devil Wears Prada - Born to lose“. I know your list is long, but it‘s been like 5 months (or even more) 🥺

[@tetsuyakuroko7608]

'Heaviest song of the year.' This guy hasn't heard brand of sacrifice - demon king yet

[@ChaseCarneson]

Never said heaviest song of the year. Said it's heavier than 2020. But Demon King sounds fun.

[@tetsuyakuroko7608]

@@ChaseCarneson I would say, do it! Actually their entire band is based on the manga Berserk! Which might be one of the best stories ever written

You got another upvote from me my dude. Demon King is TOTY.

Strap in folks! Blastbeats inbound in 3...2...1...💥 Awesome song! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 and as always, they have amazing visuals.

[@DuffmanGoneWild13]

Can you please react to Dexcore - Brainwashing. That song is epic. You hear it and start thinking crystal Lake vibes and then kicks you in the face.... and then kicks you some more... at least another 3 times.

[@uhmarcel7417]

that'd be a sick reaction for sure lmao

[@hu4lifefuckdeuce]

Drop F with that low d1 drop on the last breakdown 😍

[@stikdik]

Happy to see this! I'd love to hear your opinion about Power Of The High by Cane Hill!

[@Beardus_Maximus]

I appreciate you so much for tackling these Crystal Lake reactions, you obviously know they won’t top the views you get with Nightwish, Eluveitie or bands of that ilk, but I also remember that you came from a metalcore background and have such an appreciation for it like I do. You and Tank have been a blast to watch. I can’t wait till the next Crystal Lake album to drop, but the new Architects is well on the way so that should suffice in the mean time :) Have a damn good day, Chase. Thank you again!

[@ari-etta]

Now this was fun to watch.

[@monstercookies2726]

If you want to see this live, watch their full performance in Resurrection Fest in 2019, it's dope.

[@saceurai6629]

This song and the ending transitions into the next music in the album "Agony". There is no video for it, but it's still an awesome song :3 You can listen to it off camera :3

[@LiveMusicSuX]

Saw them live 3x last year! Super lucky, because foreign bands usually don't visit The Netherlands multiple times a year, let alone a Japanese band. I got this song all 3 times on video, because it's my favorite of theirs ^^. Recorded on my phone so be warned kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZXNpIuwoa6cec0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZq8Y4KVZbZ8oMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoGVf2ideKpqbLM

[@Hikarii349]

I saw this band live before quarantine ruined the rest of shows this year and yes they can and will play this live and it is disgusting because they somehow made it heavier

[@afscrew123]

I experienced this monster Live , the pit was dangerous

[@Mal3ficarum]

Dude you should check out "God of Fire" By Fit For A King ft. Ryo from Crystal Lake... such a good track that will make you want to lift heavy things, run harder, or go to battle! 👌

[@tpdst]

If I had my way, you would react to every Crystal Lake song. Next listen to Machina by Crystal Lake

[@ChaseCarneson]

You may very well get you way my friend

[@derekd7666]

Saw them open for miss may I, fit for a king, and August burns red. They were by far the best on the bill. Maybe biased because I was looking forward to them more than everyone else. But their energy live is off the charts.

[@Siendorf]

You should definitely check out the whole album you'll be in love

[@farhanamri714]

You should try Crystal lake "up & down" from 2014 ep "cubes". Ryo first full release after joining Crystal lake in 2012 after the original vocalist left the band in 2011. Classic pure hardcore/ metalcore.

[@kdm704]

I would totally buy a shirt from you with “Palm Mute Gang” on it! Do it!

What really makes this song for me are actually not the blast beats, but the fantastic hardcore-ish chorus with these energizing riffs, and how it transitions between all those parts, that really makes this stand out for me.

Although I admit this isn't my cup of tea. You definitely get an appreciation of it when someone who knows what they're talking about can break it down into terminology that regular non-musical folks can understand. Definite prop's to the drumming.

[@josefinetietz1882]

please listen to Ice Nine Kills! You are a fan of metal and horror movies and this band combines those two things perfectly, so this is DEFINITELY a must-listen. "The American Nightmare" or "Stabbing In The Dark" are sooo good!

[@nathanpaludo7078]

Hey dude, your content is really good! I hope you can react for some guys like Miyavi and Gackt or bands like Phantasmagoria and Moi Dix Mois from Japan!

Hi my guy, have a damn good day as well. Hope you can react to I Prevail sometime. As for the song, honestly everything from them is fire, but I would recommend to start with Hurricane since it tells the bands story.

[@thatsjusthowitgoes]

Are you going to do more from Periphery? Would love to hear your thoughts on some of their newer songs as well. Also, Eternal Flame or Masochistic Healing by Tethra are both great songs from a band who I don't think has much representation.

well.. its a cool song and all. not bad. but its missing something for me. to me it sounds like its heavy just for the sake of being heavy. it needs emotion, it needs passion to drive the heaviness.
