History Music / Cryoshell

* RefrainFromAssuming: "Closer to the Truth" isn't called "Take Me Home", although that phrase appears more often than the title. In fact, "Take Me Home" was actually originally intended to be the title of the song, justifying this trope.

%%* NotChristianRock: A common defense of the band.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: About a 6 usually. The exceptions are "No More Words" at 1, "Falling" and "Murky" at about 3, and "Trigger" at 4.

* There are two drummers who don't have nicknames. Jakob Gundel (until 2011) and Martin Pagaard (current).

!!The band's core lineup is:
* Christine ''Lore'' Lorentzen -- Lead Vocals (2007-2011; 2013-present)
* Kasper ''Asp'' Søderlund -- guitar, bass
* Mikkel ''Kal'' Maltha -- keyboard
* There are two drummers who don't have nicknames. Jakob Gundel (until 2011) and Martin Pagaard (current).

* HeavyMithril: Almost by design. ''BIONICLE'' aside, their songs tend to have some sort of fantasy/higher power element to them.
** "Creeping in My Soul" could soundtrack a horror movie, and "Trigger" is about an epic battle.
** "Bye Bye Babylon" is perhaps the best example. It sounds mystic and otherworldly, and talks about the fall of empires.

* CoverChangesTheGender: With Cryoshell, Nat King Cole's "Nature ''Boy''" becomes "Nature ''Girl''". Presumably to reflect what little details we have of the Rebel Nature project.

Cryoshell is a {{PostGrunge}}/{{AlternativeMetal}} band from Denmark. They were spawned from an agreement between the LEGO Group and ad agency Advance. Their songs have been used to promote several LEGO brands, though they eventually split and became an actual band.

Lore returned to do "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF5S8ZVeaRo Closer to the Truth]]" that same year. In 2009, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4eLdyG0zHw Bye Bye Babylon]]" was made to promote both the ''Glatorians'' and the upcoming movie, ''Legend Reborn''.

In 2017, Christian Faber, also known for his works with Bionicle, teamed up with Cryoshell to provide the music for his project Rebel Nature, and Cryoshell announced a new album in the works called Next To Machines. Another version of Gravity Hurts was released in early 2018, featuring Lore and the Budapest Art Orchestra.

* AntiLoveSong: "Murky". "Creeping in my Soul" also sounds like she's ''afraid'' to be in love.
* AfterTheEnd: The "Bye Bye Babylon" music video.

* BrokenRecord: "Closer to the Truth" ends with ''Take me home..'' repeated four times.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Would you believe that Croyshell before they were official were a ''pop'' band? The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lfmfxhrawE "Creeping in my Soul" demo]] had jangly synth, heavy vocal emphasis, and an overall poppier vibe. The remix added a guitar, toned down the distortion on the rap part, and made an overall darker track.

* HeavyMithril: Almost by design. ''BIONICLE'' aside, their songs tend to have some sort of fantasy/higher power element to them. "Creeping in My Soul" could soundtrack a horror movie, and "Trigger" is about an epic battle.

-->If you drag me from this hole
-->I think I know that
-->I can promise you
-->Now you can feed my soul
-->Expelling the pain and I can let it go
* LyricalColdOpen: "No More Words"

* NotChristianRock: A common defense of the band.
** "Trigger" especially does sound like it's about Jesus, though.
-->You'll light the day
-->You'll turn it inside out (differences collide)
-->And when you find your strength
-->Then all your feelings
-->Of doubt will disappear
-->It's time

* RefrainFromAssuming: "Closer to the Truth" isn't called "Take Me Home", although that phrase appears more often than the title.

* ShoutOut: With the possible exception of "Bye Bye Babylon", all the promo songs reference the LEGO sets they're promoting in some way:
** "Creeping in my Soul": ''"Creeps from the deep's gonna freaking up your mind/Creeps from the deep's gonna feeding of your spine"''. "Creeps From The Deep" was the tagline for the Barakki.
** "Gravity Hurts": ''"Team up for Battle we fly"'', was the main gimmick of all the sets that year.
*** Interestingly, the Tine Midtgaard version changes this to ''"Battle and soar in your mind"'', [[CoverChangesTheMeaning changing the impact of the song itself]].
** "Closer to the Truth": ''"...In Swamps of evil lies"''. That year's events took place in a swamp.

* SymphonicMetal
* TruckDriversGearChange: At the end of "Gravity Hurts".

If you know anything about them at all, you're most likely to have heard some of the songs they did for Franchise/{{BIONICLE}}.

* {{Mondegreen}}: "Trigger"; it's easy to mishear the early lyric of "These ripples" as "These [[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles tribbles]]", thus coloring the entire song as a conflict against the ExplosiveBreeder fuzzballs.

** "Gravity Hurts" was no different, being more arena rock than the later heavy metal sound they became known for.
* FaceOfTheBand: Lore.

* AftertheEnd: The "Bye Bye Babylon" music video.
* TheBandMinustheFace: Tine Midtgaard took over when Lore was on maternity leave.
** Neils Brinck also sang two songs for Cryoshell in Lore's place.

* DarkerandEdgier: The album compared to their BIONICLE work.

* IamtheBand: '''Not who you think'''. Kal is actually the main composer, producer, and songwriter who got the band together.
* IntercoursewithYou: "Feed"

* MohsScaleofRockandMetalHardness: About a 6 usually. The exceptions are "No More Words" at 1, "Falling" and "Murky" at about 3, and "Trigger" at 4.

* RefrainfromAssuming: "Closer to the Truth" is not called "Take me Home", although that phrase appears more often than the title.
* RockTrio: They DO have four members, but the big three with stage names are the most iconic and often seen in images.
* ShoutOut: With the possible exception of "Bye Bye Babylon", all the promo songs reference the toys they are promoting in some way:
** "Creeping in my Soul": ''"Creeps from the deep's gonna freaking up your mind/Creeps from the deep's gonna feeding of your spine"''. That was the tagline for the Barakki. The re-release keeps the lyric intact, making it seem kinda silly.
** "Gravity Hurts": ''"Team up for Battle we fly"'', was the main gimmick of all the sets that year. Mount a smaller one on a larger one, and fly around.
*** Interestingly, the Tine Midtgaard version changes this to ''"Battle and soar in your mind"'', [[CoverChangestheMeaning negating the impact of the song itself]].

* RockTrio: They DO have four members, but the big three with stage names are the most iconic and often seen in images.

* Bowdlerise: The music video and ''Legend Reborn'' release of "Bye Bye Babylon" edited out the word "Hell".

* DevelopmentHell: The album was announced as early as 2008. It didn't come out until ''2011''.

* [[{{PromotedFanboy}} Promoted Fangirl]]: Lore, an Advance employee, auditioned to sing "Creeping in my Soul". Now, she leads the band.
