Japanese metalcore outfit Crystal Lake have officially found their new permanent vocalist.
Following the departure of John Robert Centorrino, the band spent the past several months performing with a rotating lineup of fill-in vocalists, including members of Volumes, Secrets, and Enterprise Earth.
The band have now confirmed PK, vocalist of Prompts, as their new full-time frontman.
PK shared the following statement regarding his new position:
“I’m PK, and I’m honored to officially join Crystal Lake as a full member.
“One of the biggest reasons I decided to move from Korea to Japan and continue pursuing music was Crystal Lake.
“I’ve loved and respected this band for as long as I can remember. Having been born and raised in Korea, I also understand just how significant Crystal Lake is—not only in Japan, but to the music scene across Asia.
“That’s why becoming their official vocalist comes with a great sense of responsibility and pressure.
“At the same time, I’m confident that I can carry that weight and continue moving forward.
“I will never lose sight of the respect I have for everything Crystal Lake has built over the years. At the same time, I want to leave my own mark on the band by bringing what only I can do and creating what only I can create as part of the next chapter of Crystal Lake.
“With determination, I’m ready to move forward together with this band.
“I hope you’ll continue to support Crystal Lake in this new era.”
PK will make his upcoming live appearances with Crystal Lake as part of Fear Factory’s European and UK headlining tour. The trek will also feature Hate and Nocturnal Affair.
