In February, Osaka electro-infused metalcore act Crossfaith toured Britain with Limp Bizkit. Sharing stages and hanging out with the 1990s rap-metal act and its celebrity frontman Fred Durst reinforced the importance of not letting success go to their heads.
"That was the biggest tour we've done in the U.K. so far," says vocalist Kenta Koie. "It was one of the best moments of my life.
"Limp Bizkit have been my heroes since I was young. I thought Fred Durst was going to be a dickhead — I mean he's f-cking huge. He's f-cked with Britney Spears! He's definitely a rock star. But he was the nicest guy."
