7. Cubes


2014/8/6 推出




繼2012年推岀的單曲《The Fire Inside/ Overcome》,CRYSTAL LAKE於2014年8月推岀了新專輯≪CUBES≫。他們在不同的訪問中也表示這是他們非常滿意的一張作品,結他手Yudai曾說:「無論是以往還時現在,我們都只想將想法及所喜歡的毫無修飾、率直地表達出來。」也許因有著這樣的想法,亦加上新主唱的加入,從新岀發的他們除了貫有他們以往風格,亦可聽到以往不同的原素。新主唱加入後的第一張專輯,成員也希望作一些新嘗試,≪CUBES≫的歌曲除可聽到節奏強烈的重型金屬外,還有DJENT、EMO等風格。專輯中收錄了他們翻唱Limp Bizkit的歌曲<ROLLIN'>, 風格跟原曲拆然不同亦廣受好評,是不注重原曲細節,帶着他們自身風格的版本。


在專輯的概念上,CRYSTAL LAKE亦希望可表現出不同的世界觀。歌詞簡單直接,對團員來說專輯的首六首曲的歌代表了他們對自身及世界不同的看法,也因正立方體剛好有六面,而第七首曲,即最後一首歌曲<CUBES>寫著「Passion Energy Vitality Intensity Brave Hope We are anything We are anything We are the cubes」,把首六歌中不同想法連繋起來,這亦是專輯以≪CUBES≫命名的原因,≪CUBES≫對他們來說便是把自己跟世界中的種種不同連起來的媒介。



談起日本的重型金屬音樂,很多人也會想起Crossfaith,但如果你喜歡這類型風格的樂隊,CRYSTAL LAKE也是不錯的選擇。更多請留意 http://crystallake.jp/top/https://www.facebook.com/crystallake777

2014/8/6 Release 


In August 2004 , CRYSTAL LAKE released a new EP CUBES which they said in many interviews that they were really satisfied with the production this time. " We just aim to express our thoughts and what we love directly to the audiences, no matter the past or now. " said by the guitarist Yudai. Contributing to this thought and the joining of the new vocalist, the songs with their new line up not only composed of their original taste but also some new elements. Apart from the metal hardcore style they always had, we are also able to hear EMO and DJENT in this album. They also covered the song Rollin' by Limp Bizkit this time which is a complete different version from the original one. It received a lot of positive comments towards this cover version that they did not care much of the details from the original version but they played one strongly with their own style.


Concerning the concept of this album, with the simple and straightforward lyrics, the members hope to express both the feelings towards both themselves and the world. It was said that the first six songs of the album represent six different ideas they had. As a cube has just exactly six face, the lyrics 'Passion Energy Vitality Intensity Brave We are anything We are anything We are the cubes' was written in the last song CUBES to link up all their idea in the first six songs. This is also why this album is titled with ' CUBES' and resembles a medium to link the members and all the similarity and dissimilarity in this world together.



People always come out with Crossfaith when talking about Japan metal hardcore music. However, if you are into this type of music, CRYSTAL LAKE is definitely also a good band you are looking for. More in formation on http://crystallake.jp/top/ and https://www.facebook.com/crystallake777.
