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.

Are you ready for starting today
Always never come back yesterday/we're always bleeding
Time never kill my life
we never stop days coming/cry,anger,pain is proof of life
same days same people fuckin' days same things again and again!
you give up,you run out,you kill your dream and our dreams
come on!
why you cry this time and so you say "do you believe myself?"
are you ready for start today
why are you scared?why do you cry?
Are you feel let you down/are you ready for start today?
we never stop days coming/cry,anger,pain is proof of life
same days same people fuckin' days same things again and again!
we break it,we made it,we must die for we try to live,but this is so hard
you give up,you run out,you kill your dream and our dreams
come on!
why you cry this time and so you say "do you believe myself?"

Mirror
Heard your hoice/ this time I fault
Rewrite/to sight on/your sorrow,kill I am/
This game I gave youround of shame/
Tell me.what do you see?again/
Blind told me "you can reach my hand"
Come on
I break the relation/desire cover all
Your choice myself/your choice by myself
Your fuckin'face
Tear me down
I know inside of fear
I can take that's not enough
Blind told me "you can reach my hand"
Come on
I break the relation/desire cover all
Your choice myself/your choice by myself
Faith!curse!proud is away from you
Faith!curse!proud and life are broken
Against the mirror.you can reach my hand
Against the mirror don't be looking back
You crying out/I think you come to end story
Your fail choice because nightmare reflect yourself
Nightmare/you stand here alone
Falling to leave alone
The lyrics to Crossfaith's "k" speak to the idea of never giving up and always pushing forward, no matter what challenges may arise. The opening lines of "Today is new beginning/we never stop days coming" set the tone for the rest of the song, encouraging the listener to focus on the present moment and the potential for growth and change.
Throughout the song, there is an emphasis on the importance of perseverance. The lyrics suggest that crying, anger, and pain are all proof of life, and that it is necessary to break down and rebuild in order to truly live. However, this does not come without its difficulties. The line "we must die for we try to live" suggests that in order to truly succeed, we must be willing to give everything we have.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "why are you scared?why do you cry?" several times, almost as a mantra. This line begs the listener to examine their own fears and doubts, and to question why they are holding themselves back. The repetition of this phrase serves as a reminder to focus on moving forward, rather than dwelling on past failures or mistakes.
Overall, "k" is a powerful anthem that encourages the listener to take control of their own life and to embrace the challenges that come their way. By acknowledging the difficulties that come with trying to live an authentic life, the song serves as both a source of motivation and a reminder that we are all capable of overcoming even the toughest of obstacles.
