Cryoshell

Cryoshell is a Danish three/four-piece band best known for their work for Lego BIONICLE advertisements. The band consists of Christine Lorentzen (Lore) on vocals, Kasper Søderlund (Asp) on guitar and Mikkel Maltha (Kal) on Keyboard and bass, all of who are referred to by their nicknames. Cryoshell was formed in 2007 when the members were employees of Advance, the creative agency hired by LEGO, at the time. They recorded their first song, Creeping in my Soul, to help advertise BIONICLE's Barraki toyline. Since then the band has produced five singles and are set to release their first album in Spring 2010.
