A MONSTER of a track...

[@iiorbitalii9293]

Nik Nocturnal I honestly loved it dude. Tbh, I haven’t heard of Crystal Lake before & I watch your videos all the time & I’m soooo happy you did a reaction video because I wouldn’t of heard of them. I can’t wait to hear The full album Helix. Keep up the awesome work dude, on your guitar & on reaction videos. Please do a guitar cover 🤘🏻😬🤘🏻

So basically Japan.

[@raconbacon5649]

Isnt japan another planet tho

[@pumpkin31gutz]

The vocals and drums were insane in this track. The song got heavier and heavier. I need to check this band out.

[@reinderp5967]

I'm a fan, checkout Matrix, Prometheus, Omega, the circle and Apollo. That's just the start

[@pumpkin31gutz]

Reinderp thanks! I’m going to check them out after work tonight.

[@NikNocturnal]

They're a gem.

Same. I had no idea he had those highs. Gutturals too

[@pearpiece97]

The whole True North album is just perfect. That's the only way I can describe it. Just perfect.

[@SilentHillWomble]

The drummer is insane. I saw them when they did they're first headline show in London and 3/4 songs in he had destroyed his snare. He goes hard

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@TenaciousJoe24 I'm stoked to finally see them but definitely surprising to see that State Champs is headlining over them. I guess they got really big with their latest album, just not quite TSSF or Neck Deep big yet. I haven't seen SC yet either and I knew they would work well together. The Dangerous Summer and Grayscale should both be cool too. First ever pop-punk tour I'm actually stoked to attend. But.... We have to talk about that Hatebreed 25th anniversary tour going to Tampa. It's fucking filthy dude.. Ridiculous.

[@gchcom6902]

I've seen this live. Best musical experience of my life

[@rocknroller4186]

Adding Crystal Lake to my list. The only other song i heard by them was their Limp Bizkit Rollin' cover. Also I'm biased towards the drummer but everything was heaven just as well. And that ending. Holy shit! Like i don't even listen this genre and I'm in love with this.

[@MrEL91N]

rocknroller 418 check out their song Apollo. It’s my favourite and the visuals for the music video are great.

[@NikNocturnal]

Their last albums were amazing.

[@KingDaddyRose]

Dude i am so happy i found this video because i normally like a lot more melodic music, but i watched this and enjoyed it so i looked up the album and heard Agony and now im hooked

[@larristheblackswan3584]

I was blessed to be on stage with them while they rehearsed in ottawa year and a half ago, the energy level live is leagues above anything i've ever seen to date.

[@BruvvaJosh]

[@chrismurphy2119]

Seen them in concert on there first tour in the US and this was the first song they played and it was AWESOME and met the band all super nice guys love crystal lake

[@reinderp5967]

As far as I know, they don't have a set drummer. They are playing for a long time with Gaku Taura, so I guess he tracked it

[@TobyKBTY]

So glad you're helping shout out about these guys. they are absolutely INSANE and are a real sleeper in the metal community. Your reactions were pretty much mine as well. It's such a mix of "WTF" and "FUCKING BRUTAL". How do these guys get heavier and changing their style while sounding like Crystal Lake? Fuck, man I love these guys.

I appreciate the criticism at 9:43 and agree. Sections of the song are experimental, borderline difficult to listen to, even if it's intentional. Very innovative and an interesting experience of a song.

Dude I went to see August burns red recently, I didn't know who these guys were(assumed it was some US band that tagged along) HOOOLY SHIT WAS I WRONG I bought every CD they had and a shirt with amazing artwork in the back. Lead singer is so fucking nice and enthusiastic, his crowd work was next level. 💯 I was ready to leave the show after this opener, I mean I loved seeing the headliner, but they probably should of let CL take that headline spot haha

This song was probably the heaviest shit I've heard in so long, and you're one of my favourite CL reactors so keep it up! Also Nik if you could, check out a band called DEVILOOF, they're a band I found out about yesterday but they're style is similar to CL.

This is some boss level shit right there. A little more electronics, and it would be close to something along like of The Algorithm. Crystal Lake x The Algorithm collab'.
