Japanese metalcore band Crystal Lake will be joining Swedish hardcore and metalcore band thrown on their Excessive Guilt tour in Europe. They will kick off the concert tour in Germany on the 15th of  April in Berlin and end the tour with their own headlining show in Sweden on the 10th of May. In July, they will be back in Europe for what seems to be a festival tour, with performances at Brutal Assault, Alcatraz Festival, and more.

Last year the band, named after the camp from the horror classic Friday the 13th, finally came back to Europe after a couple of years of absence. At the end of the year, they also surprised us with a title song for the Japanese festival REDLINE ALL THE FINAL called CHASE THE SKY, which shows the close relationship they have with each other. There is no sight of the previously mentioned new album yet, but maybe more information on that will be shared soon by the metal band.

While they are currently touring in the US with Kim Dracula, HANABIE., and Kaonashi they will continue their journey in April by joining thrown, together with fellow metalcore bands unity tx and graphic nature, passing through various countries in Europe so fans can enjoy their unique blend of hard- and metalcore. During their European tour they will visit 12 countries over a total of 23 shows and at the end of July they will be back  to do it all over again with the festival season. With such a packed schedule the band has a busy time ahead of them!

Information on all the different ticket sales can be found on their Linktree and some shows are already sold out, so make sure you keep an eye on your nearest venue!
