Crystal Lake - Freewill

Review by Koen De Weggheleire

Crystal Lake's album Freewill is a masterpiece of modern metalcore. The band's unique blend of heavy riffs, breakdowns, and melodic hooks creates a sound that is both aggressive and catchy. The album starts off strong with the explosive opener "Prometheus," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the band delivers a series of crushing tracks like "Lost in Forever" and "Hail to the Fire," which showcase their technical proficiency and songwriting skills. The standout track, however, is the anthemic "Devilcry," which features a soaring chorus that will get stuck in your head for days. Freewill is a must-listen for fans of modern metalcore, and a testament to Crystal Lake's status as one of the genre's most exciting bands.
