Crystal Lake started out in the summer of 2002, heavily influenced by mid-90’s hardcore, we prepared to make impact on the Tokyo hardcore scene. Late 2002 saw the search for a new singer, but by January 2003 they had settled with current line up and were one again ready to go.
2003 saw a busy year, with two tours, including South Korea, and three releases. The demo “Freewill” was released in February in time for the show in South Korea which we were invited to by Gmc Records. A second demo “One Word Changes Everything” came out in July, and a self released 4 track EP, also entitled “Freewill” was released in September, 1000copies were made and sold. September 2003 also saw Crystal Lake play 5 shows with Day Of Contempt (Australia). In 2005 the band released a split CD with Risen (USA) & Unboy and also toured in Malaysia.
Crystal Lake shared the stage with August Burns Red, Brand Of Sacrifice, and Spite at Emo's Austin. They continue across the United States with the last stop at the Freedom Hall / Lancaster Convention Center in https://www.lancasterconventioncenter.com/ on December 8, 2023.
