I agree, "Aeon" is a must. "Disobey" is a must listen, but offers less to react to. "Watch Me Burn" would be a close second to Aeon, and my preference in their music style!
100%, Aeon will absolutely destroy Chaseâs perception of what this band can do. Having listened to two of the more tonally metalcore tracks and then going into Aeon will be a sight to see.
@@Beardus_Maximus Thats just my thinking, Aeon is a amazing track, but its also great reaction material because of how and what it is. Don't want to give away too much here.
I love your reactions so much! Most reaction channels are like "Maaan thatÂŽs heavy! I like it..." And then thereÂŽs you, going into technical details of the single instruments and vocals, explaining why certain parts are better than good, and what makes them this way. Keep it up, itÂŽs great :) Also IÂŽd love if you reacted to some Bury Tomorrow and maybe other tracks from Architects (your Animals reaction was also great) Much love from Germany
Crystal Lake is a perfect example of a band that doesn't take themselves too seriously and just has a ton of fun while still making good, heavy, music with a good dose of technicality. That's actually a good way to describe the Japanese scene as a whole, honestly.
If you want their absolute filthiest down right nasty heavy stuff, "Disobey" is a must along with "Aeon". If you're want some lighter or on par with this song, "Devilcry" or "Omega" are my recommendations.
Hi Chase, thanks to you, I have rediscovered Crystal Lake (I only possessed their 2016 LP until this reaction) ! The tune here is either drop F or open F on 7 strings E II guitar with evertune system.
One of the best things to me about Crystal lake is that if you listen to 1 song from every album you can hear clear and massive progression on Ryo's vocal ability. One of the best growths in their specialty of any vocalist I've experienced in a bands existance.
Iâve listened to this song more times than I can count and the way youâve pointed out the genius underpinnings of this song was amazing. Youâve actually made me learn the elements that i was hearing and loving but never took the time to identify. Bravo. Great reaction and thank you!
Chase Carneson No, thank you! Ryoâs vocals are amazing and grab your attention. Rightfully so. Iâm musically trained but missed a lot of what you were picking up on. This band has so much talent and you nailed so much of it. Check out Devilcry and their new re-release, Into the Great Beyond. Iâd love to see your reaction! Maybe also mention your musical background because man, you crushed it. Keep up the good work!
Hi there! âđŒ just wanted to stop by and say I'm a huge fan of the reactions! I love seeing how excited you are discovering these songs and getting to hear your take on the music ability of these amazing artists and all the underlying production that you pick up on so quickly! With that being said... you NEEEED to react to Thornhill! They're latest release The Dark Pool is a masterpiece top to bottom!!!đ€đŒ if I had to pick one to react to it would have to be either 'Where do We Go When We Die' or 'Views From the Sun'! Cheers! I really hope you see this!
Japan is killing it with Rock and Metal right now. They seem to have it all. Rock bands like Band Maid, Metal like Crystal Lake and Punk like BBQ Chicken (I get odd Metallica vibes), prog bands like Sokoninaru really show just sheer talent.
I know this is a little " old now " ( a whole four days I know so old ) but I just wanted to comment and say, I really enjoy your reactions. You have such a gentle voice it's very soothing which is ironic considering to the music haha. You also know music, you can actually breakdown songs and explain things that most people wouldn't even notice which is always nice to find out new stuff. Really been enjoying your content lately, been sub'd for awhile but only recently have been watching much and have been enjoying everything so far. Keep it up sir.
I'm new here and have been devouring your catalog because of THIS video is the first reaction that does CL justice in my eyes. Also now I'm obsessed with Sleep Token so thanks again for that.
Admittedly, the first time I saw this, I was listening with a crappy pair of headphones. I know. I'm embarrassed. Then, I came to my senses and listened to it full blast in my car... Yup. I have been redeemed.
@@ChrisPage68 Good looking out :) Although I will say, I am more of a headbanger than an air drummer. Which is also reserved for a passenger seat and/or red lights.
That was awesome Chase. It was cool listening concurrently with you and over 200 viewers as well. Best reactor that I have watched for metal. Aeon or Omega has my vote, Aeon for sheer focus on Ryoâs range and brutality, Omega for that atmospheric and instrumentals that was showcased in this song.
I love music man. I know nothing about it, and I can't really tell you why I love songs. Hearing you explain the songs in a way that helps me understand (as a someone who knows nothing in music) is so awesome. Huge fan of yours
Amazing reaction, I love that you pause it that much because it really shows how intricate and well constructed this song is. I also love that you are able to feel everything on the mix, the production regarding the voices, guitars, etc. I like those dissonant notes too haha. Really cool video, I really support you on this project!! Regards.
Now that you have returned to Crystal Lake, is Maximum the Hormone: Yoshu Fukushu next? đ đ I would really love to see you react to Sokoninaru too! Need to see you analyse the musicianship going on there đ€
Always a good experience listening to such good musicians real glad you are into crystal lake love the review! Have a look at their 5hate6 video from Japan they play a lot of their older songs and the crowd goes wild!
Eeeeyyyy back to crystal lake, very niiiiice! Next two songs that could be really interesting imo would be "hail to the fire" and "Aeon" or if you want a throwback again check out "twisted fate"
Yeay one of my faves! Don't know what happened guess the RAM inside your head started reloading again because you were kinda static at 12:19 for a good 10 seconds. You always delivered. I just thought your enthusiasm didn't quite match your eyes. You look kinda tired. Hope you're taking good care of yourself these days.
@@ChaseCarneson Take some rest when you can yeah? I don't like seeing my favorite reactor burns himself out, sacrificing sleep and all. Will not go anywhere. Beloved acoustic version is another side of Crystal Lake with Ryo's clean singing. Have a listen on your free time and prolly a good song to fall asleep to.
Chase you are the 'Ruling Reactor' for sure! đ§đŒđŁđ Please also react to Myrath, the track trilogy off their latest album ("Believer", "Dance" & "No Holding Back"). Awesome Thunisian band from the international music scene worth a reaction... especially if you appreciate a little cultural flavor to your Metal stew. Mike The Music Snob classifies them in the Symphonic Metal genre. Keep great! - die-hard SymphMet fan (Namibia) đ€đ»đłđŠđ€đ»
I found Crystal Lake through the opening for an anime, Mayday by Coldrain w/ Ryo, its less heavy than Crystal Lake's stuff but still a good song. Definitely worth checking out
Based on your tastes, I think you'd appreciate "Hail to the Fire" a lot. Other than that, I agree with everyone else that "Aeon" and "Disobey" are a must.
Chase, I won't stop until you do it. Periphery. You love Djenty stuff, you will love Periphery and I know Tank recommended them to you too :P Maybe I should stop lurking on the discord server and do an effort post introducing the band, maybe that would change your mind :D
If you can check Breakdown of Sanity, that would be amazing. They had a fantastic career until they split 2 years ago. They came back with a track named Traces. Really worth it. You can also check Infest, by the same band
i really would love to see a reaction to these songs: Unleash The Archers - Time Stands Still Arch Enemy - The World Is Yours In Flames - Take This Life In Flames - Only For The Weak Jinjer - Just Another can you do one of these?
Let's go back a few years, to 2016. Looking for new music, I stumbled upon a reaction video by GALACTICRIMINAL. The band was Crystal Lake, and the song was Omega. That Blew. Me. Away. I've generally found their newer stuff to be a little to catchy, and keep finding myself going back to Omega for that raw power. czcams.com/video/CvJQ1pFBi8A/video.html
Drop F tuning, though at times I think they use a drop pedal so god knows how low it actually is đ I heard from somewhere they go 3 steps down, so from F that'd be a C I think?
Tuning is Drop F (on 7 strings guitars as you mentioned) and it indeed sounds deep and i recomand you to react to AEON next with a pitch drop to D1 for the breakdown with Drop F as main tuning
đ§ Yeah definitely look like youâre ready to leave the earth and enter the spirit world with a pillow and a blankie here. On your free time, check out Yokai by Within Destruction ft. Ryo Crystal Lake. Songâs like having steroids injected to your breakfast.
Chase you should check out another Japanese metalcore band called coldrain, they did a song with Ryo from Crystal Lake called MAYDAY that is pretty awesome, I've had it looped for the past couple weeks.
Here's a band from Korea: MESSGRAM It's a nice change of pace of something that's not kpop. And the majority of their songs are in English. czcams.com/video/lkK_OnehjaM/video.html
Totally off topic but I would love to see you react to shrezzers - delight. I love seeing first reactions to that band. Itâs a lot to take in. Hereâs hoping đ€
Aeon is an absolute must. Its a bit of a different side of the band and the drumming in it is just mindblowingly good.
YESSSSSS
I agree, "Aeon" is a must. "Disobey" is a must listen, but offers less to react to. "Watch Me Burn" would be a close second to Aeon, and my preference in their music style!

Literally. Crossfaith and Maximum the Hormone come to mind too
If you want their absolute filthiest down right nasty heavy stuff, "Disobey" is a must along with "Aeon".
If you're want some lighter or on par with this song, "Devilcry" or "Omega" are my recommendations.
My same suggestions too
Uh yes those are some amazing suggestions, but still "hail to the fire should be on the list as well imo ;)
Also Six feet under, that song is brutal in it's own right. Twisted Fate is cool too.
Oh hell yeah crystal love, Iâm a big fan of their melodies. They remind me a lot of as I lay dying when metalcore ruled the scene
YES.
I approve of this reaction. I disapprove of the one dislike. SHOW YOURSELF, BLASPHEMER!
đđ€Łđđ
My favorite song from Crystal Lake.
Awesome reaction as always bro
Appreciate it
@@ChaseCarneson see ya later at the server
Crystal Lake - Hail to the fire!!! Absolutely headbanginnnnnnn'!!!!
That melody is sooo good
Hi Chase, thanks to you, I have rediscovered Crystal Lake (I only possessed their 2016 LP until this reaction) !
The tune here is either drop F or open F on 7 strings E II guitar with evertune system.
This is awesome. Thanks for the message and kind words
Excited for this one âïž
"Omega" and "Disobey" are a definite must! đ€
Disobey filmed and coming soon
One of the best things to me about Crystal lake is that if you listen to 1 song from every album you can hear clear and massive progression on Ryo's vocal ability. One of the best growths in their specialty of any vocalist I've experienced in a bands existance.
My name is Chase too!! Lol đ. Love your reactions dude!

This was the first song of theirs I heard and I was instantly hooked.
As for the tuning of the 7 string I am pretty sure it's F C F Bb Eb G C
Thornhill - Where We Go when We Die
One of the best songs of last year
never stop pausing. We love you chase
Aw yeah! This one is a BANGER, so looking forward to it.
Periphery - Reptile
long, long overdue!

SO excited to see this reaction. Apollo is my favorite song by this group so far. Can't wait to see what's next!
Great reaction
THIS threw me up against a wall and stole my back tooth fillings!

He still needs to do the Mara Effect first!
Admittedly, the first time I saw this, I was listening with a crappy pair of headphones.
I know. I'm embarrassed.
Then, I came to my senses and listened to it full blast in my car...
Yup. I have been redeemed.
anything is better full blast in the car! (so you can scream and air drum all without anyone bothering you haha)

I got you

what a beautiful way to describe the end of the song "decay" don't think i ever heard that description before. wow puts a new spin on my listen.

Yeeessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New song by Oceans Ate Alaska - Metamorph! They brought back their former vocalist James.
Always a good experience listening to such good musicians real glad you are into crystal lake love the review! Have a look at their 5hate6 video from Japan they play a lot of their older songs and the crowd goes wild!

+1
Black Mamba by Alpha Wolf yes pleaaaaaase
Or Akudama
Based on your tastes, I think you'd appreciate "Hail to the Fire" a lot. Other than that, I agree with everyone else that "Aeon" and "Disobey" are a must.

@Martin Brichta well, that's your opinion ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Love this song, and this band. Pretty sure the guitars are tuned to Drop F#.
Aeon is a must brother! đ€
Def check out Aeon. The video is nuts. I've seen these dudes twice and they have the best energy around them out of every band I've ever seen.
Band maid Moratorium. . .plzzzz. . Waiting for a long time.
Do Coldrain âMaydayâ it features Crystal Lakeâs singer. Super good song. A bit more pop but it still rocks hard.
7:58 đđđđđđđ

You NEED to listen to anything off of Vitriols debut " To Bathe From The Throat of Cowardice"
If you loved this check out Wild Eyes from Parkway Drive
Have to react to their song devilcry
More in line with this song is True North. If you want some of their heavy heavy shit, Aeon or Disobey.

Aeon or Disobey!! Great reaction as always!! :D
I would love to get your take on Crossfaith, they are kinda nuts, Electronicore. their song Countdown to Hell is insane.

You should do the remaster of into the great beyond
He already did if IÂŽm not mistaken... was his first Crystal Lake reaction :)
he did :D
Thanks guys ! I just found this channel so Iâm still going through the videos. Canât wait to watch it then
Chase, how is it possible that you didn't do any reaction to any Periphery tracks until now ? You might already know all of them ? :)
I actually don't. I know of them and I have got them in to film next week I believe.
Yooo, *Chase!!* Bruhh.. ~> "BMTH - *KINGSLAYER* ft. Babymetal" !! Make it happen. lol
