Plus, we're playing at the Van's Warped Tour all next summer, which is insanely great news for us and our fans! We're simply ready for 'our' future!" "From the first time I saw Crossfaith devastate a stage in the U.S., I knew I was seeing something insanely special. They were a collision of riffs, imagination, electronics and an anime-like tornado of intense energies few bands possibly approach. The new music coming from them takes it to a whole new place in terms of sonic innovation and songsmanship. Get ready to check your skull," adds Razor & Tie Senior Director of A&R Mike Gitter who signed the band.

The band has honed their craft into a neon explosion that fuses the fist-pumping euphoria of hard-hitting dance with the rabid intensity of punk rock and metal. Having toured the world over Crossfaith has already garnered a reputation as an intense must see live act. They have played the main stage at festivals such as Hellfest, Download, Reading & Leeds, and Soundwave Australia, as well as the Warped Tour Europe and USA and many Japanese festivals.
