NICK!!!!! Gotta do a reaction for the 2nd track they released in the middle of the night called MEPHISTO!!!!! It will Melt your Fucking Face off 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Nik's top 2 favorite bands: Spiritbox Crystal lake

[@NikNocturnal]

Maybe...

[@tbone0303]

But the question is...did nik buy any of the collab merch?

[@patricklile2659]

I think Crystal Lake and Slaughter to Prevail fight for that #2 spot in Nik's list.

[@Jarlaxle_Baenre]

@@patricklile2659 I would guess Slaughter to Prevail, he’s always impressed with, but overall catalogue would lean more towards Crystal Lake.

[@Eyeyamgod]

It's a great time for new modern heavy music

Ryo totally went Liu Kang on that final breakdown.. enter dragon transformation

Haha 😂 that or raiden

It's like we can predict which tracks you're gonna react to.

Only in metal real men can have common minds ..lol

[@ghosturr]

Shit you listen to metal?! I've been watching your vids on FFXIV because I as well was a wow refugee. Mind you I started ffxiv about 1.5 years ago. I still enjoy seeing peoples first impressions haha

[@Conundrums._]

I’m 90% sure The drummer from crystal lake (Gaku Taura) has calves made of Vibranium

[@NikNocturnal]

He's INSANE

[@gedesuannataeih9080]

still dont get why CL still doesnt include him as official member. still as supporting member. he's a gem. CL may not lose him like ever.

[@water-sucks]

@@gedesuannataeih9080 he’s official now, same with the bassist. They just announced it on Twitter

[@joshforeman1648]

@Mooky shut up

[@jarraaaaad5814]

Those calves definitely called the avengers to assemble

[@zackzaruba_]

Crystal lake can make anything sound melodic

[@NikNocturnal]

True

[@nickvonwald]

“Unfair to other Metalcore bands” live too. They are always the opener in the US, but they are so difficult to follow.

[@EmptyPagesDream]

Right? Like I love ERRA and Currents, but after Crystal Lake got off the stage, I was a little bummed

[@HEADASSLOOKINGAHHH]

@@EmptyPagesDream they bring the fucking energy, the other bands are so boring compared to these guys

[@ninjasownpirates]

@@EmptyPagesDream Same, but I saw them with Miss May I, Fit for a King, and August Burns Red. I'm so glad I'm not a "skip the opener and show up halfway through the show" kind of person. Would have missed out on the best part. Ryo's stage presence is on another level and actually keeps up with the energy of their music.

[@NikNocturnal]

They're dope live!

[@ryanmungwira5181]

@@EmptyPagesDream 110% to this. I’ve told everyone that when they were on that tour, they outshined both of them

[@HEADASSLOOKINGAHHH]

They just can't make a bad song, this band is so talented ffs can't wait to see them in 2022

[@StrattonSmith]

This band is just too damn good

[@NikNocturnal]

True

[@CHRISPARVISMAGNAGAMING]

I'm convinced Crystal Lake is the most well rounded band on the planet. You want melodic? Crystal Lake does it. You want dj0nt? Crystal Lake does it. You want 2 step? Crystal Lake does it. They just play whatever the fuck they want and it's always great.

[@Neo-kt6el]

They always throw bangers. I'm going to see CrystalLake live in Osaka next week. Just can't wait

[@AshenVVolf]

I was literally watching your reaction to Disobey and thinking, "When we gonna see a Curse reaction?" And you delivered. Glad you appreciate this amazing band.

[@flyrab2683]

It is just melodic stuff with the drums going krkrkrkrkrkkrrkkrkrkrkrkr and then out of nowhere a fcking epic breakdown

[@NikNocturnal]

[@matthewpoburyny5147]

When I got to work with them a few years ago I was absolutely blown away by this band. Sweetest and kindest people and then on stage they completely ruined the crowd with how hard they hit.

[@kboanddbo]

I go into every new Crystal Lake song expecting greatness, and I'm still somehow blown away by them

[@irizaga]

Ryo singing like an angel and the next second be like 'hey kid, wanna see hell?'

[@williamtindol8503]

I immediately text my wife when this dropped and she text me that her boss made her read it in a meeting like she was in School. Then he didn't know what it was and made her look it up. I wish I could have seen his face at the drop.

[@tentinquarantino3005]

Boss sounds like a prick js

[@jamesm7770]

Can't wait to watch the other reaction (the song comes out at midnight)

[@clay2822]

No way! What’s it called?

[@lsuraeru8679]

@@clay2822 Ryo posted the Spotify link to the curse single, and a song called mephisto was on it. The songs aren’t playable yet sadly

[@jamesm7770]

Just can say... It's a f*cking banger

[@Sluchayniy]

I think, Crystal lake should be considered the pioneers of a new subgenre - atmospheric metalcore. The feelings are just on another level.

[@jakubgodlewski9104]

Make Them Suffer kinda did that too in their discography, on Ether for example

[@I3urton]

Erra, especially Augment springs to mind

[@sammccullough4650]

Atmosphericore

@@jakubgodlewski9104 haven’t really dove into their discography, but ether is definitely cool stuff, thanks 👍

Energy perfectly describes this band. I’ve seen them live and they just hype up the crowd so well. Incredible band

[@NikNocturnal]

Many energy

[@tylerdaigneault4278]

This band is SO GOOD live. I didn’t even know who they were and they opened a concert I was at and they were my favorite of the night. INSTANT fan

[@urak_4062]

Amazing track, please react to Mephisto, it’s the other track in the single. It’s just brutal !

Will do

this reminds me of the instrumentals from the band Our Hollow, Our Home🔥. melodic and breakdowns too. i wish they would do more songs like that

[@defconmain2219]

Reminds me so much of lost in forever. Let’s fucking go!

[@skytex9227]

I mean the band and the song are insane, but im always suprised how good the music videos are! So GOOD

[@TheGreatestGoose]

I fucking LIVE for that reaction at 1:50. That transition was brutal.

[@DemonLordRaiden]

That chorus sounds like an anime opening in the BEST way possible. The melodies are top tier, the energy is off-the-charts, I can't fucking wait to see Crystal Lake live someday, I love them so fucking much.

[@tylerconrad1322]

Bro these DRUMS are NUCLEAR, this band never disappoints

[@RodKnockRyan]

watching this vid cheered me up a bunch, thanks for all you do nik

[@gamingwithgeekwares4416]

god the drum track in this song

[@ledrummah]

I had never heard of these guys until they opened on the ABR tour, within the first 45 seconds i got hooked. they’re seriously this good with this much energy live, i was blown away

[@jimjunior5724]

Have you heard the other song Mephisto?!!!!!!! SODAMN HARD!!! I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!

[@Bak3dGamingYT]

Ryo is in my top 3 of favorite frontmen in metal. He’s a monster and the drummer is an absolute legend. Crystal Lake never disappoints

[@josefgordon7712]

Undeniable, undeniable, these guys are rock gods.

[@LT.BrianM]

Only thing better than this band is your reaction to them. You should be on tour with them as their hype man. This band deserves all the praises. They’re insane and this is coming from a guy watching Crystal Lake FROM Crystal Lake (Illinois). Keep up the awesome content my dude.

[@khatamiarata8879]

this song reminds me of one of Crystal Lake's 2015 songs "Beloved" maybe occasionally try to re-listen to their old songs again 😄

[@mike_tkgchs]

crystal fucking lake - when they come in with the fast tempo on drums, 3 5 7 on guitar and the melodic arpeggio on top, you know it's them . FUCK THEY'RE SO GOOD

[@joshkuhnmusic]

Ah man I love CL so much

^^

[@MetalRock92]

Goosebumps all the way. They are at the top of the game.

The two singles are different, but both are soo good. Curse more on the melodic and hxc side, while Mephisto is just a huge slap to the face, heavy and chaotic. Man I love this band!

Thanks to you I found this band and it is my fav band ever now👀

[@alexchen5742]

I still remember Crystal Lake coming to Sydney in 2020. And I got a photo with Ryo!! I want them back!!

[@DrLukeHart]

Absolutely the same as you Nik. Listened to this straight after Apollo and got huge vibes. But it’s still fantastic in its own right.

[@L319HV]

I saw them twice last year before lockdown here in Australia. Saw them with Polaris and then with wage war the night after that. Such a good time such a good band.

Asked a kid the other day "What's your Favourite metal song?" And his reply was "So far away By Avenged Sevenfold" 😭😭
