De Japanse metalcore band Crystal Lake heeft een nieuwe single genaamd “Crossing Nails” uitgebracht via Century Media Records.
Zanger John Robert Centorrino (ex-The Last Ten Seconds Of Life) zegt het volgende over de track:
“I have a very love//hate relationship with God and the church. Growing up in a super religious household + going to 2 Catholic schools – I saw first hand how they use God as a weapon of control. I needed people to be there for me. To save me from myself. To love me.. and they were never there. They made me fear & hate something I should have loved. Fear is not love. Hate is not power. Control is not faith. Believe in YOURSELF. Love YOURSELF. Control YOURSELF. Faith is not a weapon – it’s peace. Crossing Nails.
Gitarist YD voegt eraan toe:
With this track, we’ve kept the heaviness that’s always been core to our sound, but brought the straight, speedy riff work to the forefront and wrapped the whole song in a more catchy structure. We also experimented with rhythmic and groove elements that haven’t really appeared in Crystal Lake’s music before, allowing us to explore a new kind of expression.
By blending parts of my personal musical background into the song in a playful way, I think we managed to mix that classic hardcore and metal vibe in a fresh and exciting form. ‘Crossing Nails‘ is a new kind of hybrid song that combines explosive live energy with a strong sense of unity everyone can enjoy. Hope you feel that when you hear it!
