Editor's note

Crystal Lake's Osaka metalcore, from underground to Helix

A Japanese band that built a following in the underground before breaking through with 2015's 'Curse'.

For a sense of their evolution, start with 'Curse' and then check out something like 'Mercury' from their later work. It shows how they've kept the intensity while letting more melody in.

They spent years in Osaka's underground scene before 'Curse' brought wider attention, with the title track becoming one of their most recognizable songs. Their sound has shifted from deathcore toward a more melodic metalcore approach over time. Songs like 'Mercury' and 'Dreamcatcher' show the range they've developed.

Formed in Osaka in 2002, they worked the underground for over a decade before 'Curse' in 2015 changed things. Since then they've released albums like 'True North', 'The Voyages', and 2022's 'Helix'. Their lineup has included vocalist Ryo Kinoshita and guitarist Yudai Miyamoto among others.
