The band is considered to play the style of music known as electronicore, due to their blend of influences from metalcore, industrial metal, hardcore, metal and electronica. They have thus been described as "Slipknot tearing the Prodigy limb from limb."
In their early touring history they supported bands like Hatebreed, Machine Head, In This Moment, Bleeding Through, The Used August Burns Red, and Memphis May Fire. In March 2011, Tragic Hero Records signed Crossfaith for an American release of their second album The Dream, The Space.
In 2012 Crossfaith's tour schedule for around the Europe expanded, supporting Of Mice & Men with Bury Tomorrow and later in the year supporting While She Sleeps alongside Bleed from Within and Polar in September. In August the band went to Japan to play the Summer Sonic festival, the largest festival in the country, where they played at 3am to 10,000 people.
In September 2012 the band released their second extended play Zion, used as an introductory sampler designed to break into a bigger market overseas. Zion was named after the human city in The Matrix film series. The extended play revived a popular response from mainstream critics such as Kerrang! and The Sydney Morning Herald. Three promotional videos spawned out of the promotion of the EP: music videos for "Monolith" and "Jägerbomb," and one typography style video for "Photosphere." On 10 November the band performed at the 2012 Warped Tour at the Alexandra Palace in London on the 'Kevin Says Stage'. The stage they played on was only a 500 capacity room so security had to block the entrance to the room as it exceeded capacity during their performance. Their performance at the festival garnered a lot of attention for the band.
After a hiatus, it was announced that Hiroki would depart from Crossfaith. Shortly after it was announced that Daiki Koide (ex. Her Name in Blood) would join Crossfaith officially.
Eclipse
Crossfaith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna need your help this ain't gonna rock be itself.
Inside the crowd, let it all out, until the sunrise comes
We can rock the party out
Till the morning!
Howl and shout you need to burn this mother down
Scream and shout you need to bounce or get right out!
Oh, man I want to break all the rules tonight
You have no excuse blow up the dance floor
We're gonna say what fuck the system
Drop! Drop! Drop! Drop! Drop the beat down on jungle beat
Take a look around people step in here to forget their fear
Can't you here their howling and screaming? To let it all out for this night you're gone
Oh, won't you tell me what I want to hear that we will last forever
In the night I here the echo just wanna keep this going never ending
You make me high, high, high like the stars
So stay all night, night, night till the sunrise
Touch the sky sky sky with diamonds
This night will never end
The lyrics to Crossfaith’s song Eclipse are about the power of music and the energy it can create. As the shadows fall down, the singer and the crowd they are with go underground to a place where they can rock and roll. The singer acknowledges that they cannot do this alone and they will need the help of the people around them to make the night memorable. They want the people in the crowd to let it all out, to scream and shout, to burn this mother down, and bounce until the sunrise comes. The night is about losing oneself in the music and the energy, forgetting all fear and worries for just one night.
The song then shifts to the singer breaking the rules and wanting to blow up the dance floor with no excuse. They want to scream out, “Fuck the system” and drop the beat down with a jungle beat. The energy of the crowd is palpable to the singer who sees people howling and screaming, letting everything out for the night. They want the night to never end and for the music to keep going until the sunrise. They want to touch the sky with diamonds and stay high like the stars. This song is about letting oneself soak in the power of music and the energy of the crowd, and losing oneself for a night in it.

I remember visiting a dance club in Japan. Me and my buddy were the only Americans in that club, and no one moved a peep until the guards left. Then, everyone started dancing and partying. That shit was pretty tight, one of the best nights of my life, dancing the night away. It was crowded, so we kept bumping into other people.
