Well
They're a really awesim band based in Denmark.
They're not really popular yet, but they might have the potential to rise up the ranks.
An Alternative/Rock band, formed in 2006, Cryoshell was employed by Lego to perform songs for their Bionicle franchise. The band has already performed four songs for Lego.
And they are:
-Creeping In My Soul
-Face Me
-Gravity Hurts
-Closer To The Truth
-Bye Bye Babylon.
Bye Bye Babylon being their latest.
But recently the band has plans to go "independent" and release their own album. Their album will feature new versions of their old songs, as well as new songs. Set to come out by fall this year (2009), but it's winter now, and still no album.
The band is three-membered, each with their own nicknames. They get other session musicians to play with them during recording sessions and their music videos.
Band members are,
-Christine Lorentzen (Lore). The band's lead vocalist.
-Mikkel Maltha (Kal). Band's Pianist/Keyboardist/Bassist
-Kasper Søderlund (Asp). The band's lead guitarist
Other session musicians
-Niels Brinck. Vocalist for Face Me and Gravity Hurts.
-And an unknown drummer, seen in the Bye Bye Babylon music video.
The band seems to have similarities with Evanescence, with all the gothic style rock. But I think they have they're own style to be unique.
But being all gothic and everything, they're songs are not all about darkness and death. There is actually some meaning to their songs. Eventhough they sing of sorrow, their songs actually reflect what is going on in this world and what mankind has done to this Earth.
Their latest song, Bye Bye Babylon is actually a portrayal of what the world would be like after we have completely ruined it. Sort of like, trying to convey awareness to human beings.
Personally, I like them because they're different and they're not popular (yet). I really like smaller, less established bands because I feel that they're music is genuine and they're not playing for fame and wealth. I really hope Cryoshell would make it big. And when they do get popular, I hope they'll still play from their hearts. (haha).
Cryoshell,
An awesome rising band. Give them a shot.
