Cryoshell
is a Danish three-piece band formed by employees of Lego and their first songs
were released to advertise Bionicle ("Creeping in My Soul", "Closer to the
Truth" and "Bye Bye Babylon"). The band consists of Christine Lorentzen (Lore)
on vocals, Kasper Søderlund (Asp) on guitar and Mikkel Maltha (Kal) on
keyboards.
Their
approach to things comes from classic rock spiced up with some more modern
influences making their sound sound fresh. Vocalist Christine Lorentzen proves
that she is more than a figurehead on the ship, and her voice, which is situated
somewhere between Amy Lee (Evanescence) and Pernille Rosendahl (The Storm) is
quite impressive and a vital part of their sound. Christine's voice helps
creating a sound that contain moods that are hard, raw, yet fragile and
classical - four concepts that contain one formula, called Cryoshell.
Producer
Jacob Hansen has given them a balanced and raw rock sound that fit their style
very well, and their self-titled debut album has many fine moments and enough
catchy tunes to give them a solid foundation for bigger things. And with the
right amount of hard work, promotion and luck they do stand a chance with this
album...
