hiddenderek Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Its weird, because I've been a fan of bionicle since 2001, read all the books, watched all the movies, played all the games, got the toys of course, but I never have heard of Cryoshell or any of their songs before coming to this forum recently. What were they featured in? Commercials? Most commercials I remember had songs like 'Move along' and such.

What were they featured in? Commercials? Most commercials I remember had songs like 'Move along' and such. Cryoshell's members first assembled in 2007 to do the song for the Barraki commercial (Creeping in my Soul). The three members (at the time) were employees of Advance, so doing a song for one of the brands Advance worked on was a natural fit. Two of the members also released the subsequent promo songs "Face Me" and "Gravity Hurts, and the band formally made their debut as "Cryoshell" in Summer 2008 with the song "Closer to the Truth". They followed that up with "Bye Bye Babylon" the next year. When Bionicle ended, Cryoshell didn't—they released their first, self-titled album, and while their membership changed up a bit (Christine Lorentzen left the band on maternity leave for a few years), the band persisted with a replacement lead singer, occasionally releasing new music (including a new version of Gravity Hurts and a promotional song for Hero Factory, "Break Out").

MisterJulius Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Personally, my favorite music tracks come from BIONICLE: Quest for the Toa and the GameBoy Advance version of BIONICLE Heroes. I feel that Quest for the Toa really nails the feel of 2001, with a good mix of wooden instrumentals and some more electronic-centric tracks. As for the GBA version of Bionicle Heroes, the game's soundtrack in general is just pretty awesome. It's got great sound quality for GBA, and is overall really well-composed. One of my personal favorites from its soundtrack is the Grounded Arena track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) The BIONICLE Music, Creeping in My Soul, Bye Bye Babylon, the movie themes, BIONICLE: The Game's soundtrack... I love a lot of Bionicle's songs. But my absolute favourite is Gravity Hurts. Absolutely epic - great vocals, awesome instrumental... and I dunno, it's just so motivational and epic. Really fitting for the year it came out in, and a solid song on its own. -NotS Edited April 23, 2015 by Nidhiki of the Shadows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta-metru_defender Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The BIONICLE Music off of the PowerPack remains my favorite. Though I do really like Hero and Gravity Hurts too.

Ford Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm a big fan of the music from MNOG, especially the music that plays in Le-Wahi. The Le-Koro Band victory theme song is the best confidence boosting song I've listened to in a while. 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/O8CcqC5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I never liked Hero at all (not even when I first heard it in 2005). But Gravity Hurts is pretty much my favorite Bionicle promotional song. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I was never a big fan of Gravity Hurts. Hero is ok. I liked most of the beautiful instrumental themes Bionicle had, but out of the songs with words Caught in a Dream has become my new favorite. Had to grow on me for awhile though.

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Move Along (AAR) and Crash (Daughtry) are the only two rock songs that I still listen to that were involved with Bionicle. I liked Gravity Hurts when it came out, but now I don't care too much for it. Creeping in my Soul was probably the best Cryoshell song in Bionicle. I don't listen to that one very much, it I can't deny that it was pretty great. I also really like the music for the Onua and Kopaka levels in the 2003 console game. The 1st 2 movies have a rather awesome scores, but I'd actually lean towards the 2nd movie to have the best one.

Ford Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 "Gravity Hurts", the movie themes, and the music in the 2015 animations and promos are pretty good. I wish there was a version of the 2015 music without the sound effects (and yes, I know there is a track in the end credits of episode 9, but that's not the only one I'm looking for). 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/O8CcqC5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new 2015 track actually super good. I want an MP3 of it!! 1 Quote Other great bands: Iron Maiden Journey Mercenary The Unguided Trivium Boston Stratovarius Symphony X Epica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
