  1. I'm really late to this thread but there's this band I love called Lacuna Coil that have some songs I associate with Bionicle quite a bit. I think part of the reason is they sound like a heavier Cryoshell but with 2 vocalists. The 2 songs from them below have some association with the franchise for me, with various reasons. Sword of Anger, to me, symbolizes the entire end of Bionicle. The story ends on a feeling of hope for the future, the Matoran, Toa, Glatorian and Agori live peacefully on Bara Magna, and strive for harmony. The lyrics talking about a mythical sword kinda remind me of the masks and their powers in the franchise. The song could just be called Mask of Life instead and it would feel like a Bionicle song 100%. This next song, Hostage to the Light, reminds me of Takanuva (for obvious reasons), and how he went from rejecting his destiny as the Toa of Light to embracing it. I feel like the chorus to the song summarizes what's going through his head as he sees Jaller die in his arms during the '03 storyline, and then decides to put on the mask. Besides Lacuna Coil, I know this is technically cheating, but Cryoshell's other songs on their self-titled album give me a Bionicle feel anyway. Specifically Murky and Falling. The association is there for me because I saw a few Bionicle MVs that had these songs on them. Murky gives me that same "end-of-story" feeling as the first LC song I posted above gives me, but on a sadder note, whereas Sword of Anger is more hopeful and "yay, we did it!". I'll admit that some of this comes from a youtube comment I read years ago, but I can't find it. The rest is my own interpretation of events. Mata Nui was only awake for a short time before falling back into his coma, and the Toa start to have their doubts about what they did wrong "Did we choose the right side? Did we pick the right fight?". The rest of the song is mainly for me, concerned with the overall themes of Bionicle and what it's messages were, e.g. "When you're drowning in shadow, look for the light in your heart". Falling reminds me of Lhikan asking the Toa Metru for help saving the city "I'm counting on you to push on through", and the Metru having doubts about their abilities "Is this the end of the line and can we make it in time?" TIME also referring to the Mask of Time. Another commenter said it sounds like it's about Matoro, and how he saved the universe by sacrificing himself. Anyway, yeah I hope you guys like these songs. What do you think about them? Is there a Bionicle association? I feel like I'm mostly over-analyzing things but when it comes to Bionicle I love doing stuff like this.
