The line-up currently consists of [[lead vocalist]] Christine Lorentzen (Lore), [[gu itarist]] Kasper Sderlund (Asp), [[keyboardist]]/[[bassist]]/[[backing vocalist]] Mikkel Maltha (Kal) and unofficial [[drummer]] Jakob Gundel. In the band's earl y years they recorded several songs that were used as themes for the toy-line of the popular [[Lego]] theme [[Bionicle]]. Cryoshell's genre of music has usually been classified as [[alternative rock]] o r [[hard rock]], even a [[Crossover (music) crossover]] between the two. They ha ve a style similar to that of bands such as [[Flyleaf]] and [[Evanescence]] (bot h of which are also fronted by a female musician), some fans and reviewers have even considered their sound to be a mix of Evanescence and [[Linkin Park]]. ==History== The band formed in late 2006 when an employee of Advance (a creative agency loca ted in Copenhagen) named Christine Lorentzen was asked to sing vocals for a oneoff recording project at Hansen Studios, working alongside guitarist Kasper Sderl und, bassist Mikkel Maltha and keyboardist Sren Bendz, with Eddie Simonsen as the producer. The song recorded for the project was titled "Creeping in my Soul" an d was used by [[Bionicle]], a popular [[Lego]] toy theme (which is designed at A dvance), as the soundtrack for their commericals and mini-movies in early 2007. The song proved to be very popular, rapidly becoming the most downloaded MP3 fro m the official Lego website. Due to the popularity of "Creeping in my Soul", Sderlund and Maltha (the latter b eginning to record keyboard in addition to bass) recorded a new song with Danish singer [[Niels Brinck]] called "Face Me", with Simonsen again serving as produc er. The song again was used by Bionicle - as the soundtrack for their 2007 summe r sets. The four later worked on a third song for Bionicle, which was released i n early 2008 and named "Gravity Hurts". In the summer of 2008, Simonsen and Brinck left the group, the latter being repl aced by "Creeping in my Soul" singer Christine Lorentzen. With the release of th eir newest song for Bionicle, "Closer to the Truth", the newly-formed band began work on their first album under their own record label, Cryoshell I/S; hence th e name of the band. Cryoshell later struck a deal with an East-European record l abel called Voices & Music Entertainment and began recording at Hansen Studios w ith producer Jacob Hansen. In 2009, the band released their first official singl e as an indepentent band, "Bye Bye Babylon". An alternative version of the song was used as the soundtrack for the direct-to-DVD film ''[[Bionicle: The Legend R

eborn The Legend Reborn]]'', the music video for the alternative version of the song is included an extra on the DVD. An extended version of the band version is featured on their self-titled debut album. In 2010, Cryoshell hired a drummer, Jakob Gundel, released a second single; a re -recorded version of "Creeping in my Soul", and completed and released their lon g-awaited debut album in their homeland of Denmark on June 7th, which was later released as a digital download in the US February 2011. A worldwide CD format re lease is currently being arranged. ==Band members== ===Current=== * Christine Lorentzen (Lore) - [[Lead vocals]] <small>(2006 2007, 2008-present)</s mall> * Kasper Sderlund (Asp) - [[Guitar]] <small>(2006-present)</small> * Mikkel Maltha (Kal) - [[Keyboard instrument Keyboard]], [[bass guitar]], [[bac king vocals]] <small>(2006-present)</small> * Jakob Gundel - [[Drum kit Drums]] (unofficial) <small>(2009-present)</small> ===Former=== * [[Niels Brinck]] - Vocals <small>(2007 2008)</small> * Sren Bendz - Keyboard <small>(2006 2007)</small> * Marcus Busborg - Drums (on single version of "Bye Bye Babylon") <small>(2009)< /small> ==Discography== ===Studio albums=== * ''Cryoshell'' - 2010 ===Extended plays=== * ''Creeping in my Soul'' - 2010 ===Singles=== * "Bye Bye Babylon" - 2009 * "Creeping in my Soul" - 2010 ===Songs for "Bionicle"=== * "Creeping in my Soul" - 2007 <small>(Original version)</small> * "Face Me" - 2007 <small>(with Niels Brinck)</small> * "Gravity Hurts" - 2008 <small>(with Niels Brinck)</small> * "Closer to the Truth" - 2008 <small>(Original version)</small> * "Bye Bye Babylon" - 2009 <small>(Alternative of single version)</small> ===Music videos=== * "Gravity Hurts" - 2008 * "Closer to the Truth" - 2008 * "Bye Bye Babylon" - 2009 * "Creeping in my Soul" - 2010 == References == <!--- See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes on how to create refe rences using <ref></ref> tags which will then appear here automatically --> {{Reflist}} * [http://cryoshell.wikia.com/wiki/Cryoshell_Wiki Cryoshell Wiki] * [http://cryoshell.wikia.com/wiki/Cryoshell_Band_Members Cryoshell Band Member s] == External links == * [http://www.cryoshell.com/ Official Cryoshell Website] * [http://www.myspace.com/cryoshell Cryoshell Myspace Page]
