Crossfaith return from hiatus with new single ‘ZERO’

Japanese genre-blenders Crossfaith have ended their year long hiatus with a brand new single and video for ‘ZERO’. The song brings all the frenetic qualities the band have become synonymous with as rip-roaring riffs, fast paced grooves, sing-a-long moments and electronically laced breakdowns keep you engaged throughout. It’s a fine return and as the lyrics suggest, they are 100% back.

Speaking on the release the band says: “After approximately one year of hiatus, we’re finally coming back in the game… This song is filled with primitive energy, showcasing our distinctive style to the fullest. It becomes a music full of the desire to tear through the dark abyss with our own hands and be reborn anew.”

The band have also announced that Daiki Koide is their new guitarist.

Koide issued the following statement about his new role.

“Since July 2022, I have been playing on many stages with Crossfaith as a support member, and I am delighted to announce that I have officially joined Crossfaith as a guitarist. I have known Crossfaith members for more than 10 years now, since I was a part of my previous band, Her Name In Blood. Back when my own band broke up, I was struggling and seriously thought if I should stop pursuing a music career. However, Crossfaith was the one that reached out to me and brought me back on the stage. We have been making music and performing together on the same stage for a while, and I always felt like I was part of the band, but officially being the member now, I am ready to go all out without holding back. Everything I want to express will be poured into our new music.  I am very excited to be able to express myself through music again. Please keep supporting us.”
