CRYSTAL LAKE started out in the summer of 2002,
heavily influenced by mid-90's hardcore,
they prepared to make their 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 Korea
which they 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 '03 also saw CRYSTAL LAKE play 5 shows with DAY OF CONTEMPT(Australia).

2004 saw more exposure for the band, with track on a compilation cd "HARDCORE BALL 6".
Also from March to June CRYSTAL LAKE went on the "Blood of Judas" tour
with LOYAL TO THE GRAVE & EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.
This tour later saw the release of a 3way split CD and DVD.

In 2005 CRYSTAL LAKE released a split CD with RISEN(USA) & UNBOY
and also toured in Malaysia.

The 1st full length album "DIMENSION" was released on 5th July 2006.
It is released by IMPERIUM Recordings
and features Eva(GATHER), Iris(FIRESTONE) and Mitome(BIRTHPLACE).
There are 8 tracks(mostly new songs).
We hope you will all listen and enjoy!
Since the release of the album, they have done the "DIMENSION" tour,
which was received well by kids from all over Japan
who love to go wild to CRYSTAL LAKE's savage technical breed of hardcore.
