Crystal Lake have announced their seventh album The Weight of Sound, due for release on 23rd January 2026 via Century Media Records.
”When I look back, I realise that Crystal Lake has now been active for 23 long years,” says guitarist and founder YD. “People often say, “time flies,” but the truth is we’ve carved out countless histories together – with friends, bandmates, and fellow musicians – sharing struggles that drew blood and building this band piece by piece. I have constantly been inspired by the people and the environment around me. To play that music together with comrades-in-arms is what it means to be a band. And the music that band creates has the power to shape a new culture. Our new album The Weight of Sound is a reflection of this way of life. I truly hope you will listen and enjoy it.”
In light of the announcement, Crystal Lake have released a video for their new single and album title track The Weight of Sound.
“I wrote this after being gone from home for a long period and it mirrors those emotions of being on tour for a majority of the year – you are quite literally never there for the people you love when they need you,” adds vocalist John Robert Centorrino. “So people don’t always believe in your struggle and there is a lot of doubt from all sides. But I believe in myself and this life. I’ll carry the weight of sound forever. The song is probably my favourite song lyric wise from the album. As the saying goes: “They only believe in you at the top of the mountain. You’re a fool along the way.”
