}} ''Cryoshell'' is the self-titled debut studio album by Danish rock band Cryoshell, released June 7, 2010 under the band's own label Cryoshell I/S in conjunction with Voices Music & Entertainment. Produced by Jacob Hansen, the album was recorded between late 2008 and early 2010 at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark. Prior to recording, Cryoshell was best known for producing music for Bionicle - a popular series of construction toys produced by Lego - as soundtracks to their toy waves between 2007 and 2009, Lego was also partially responsible for the band's formation. Three of their songs used by Bionicle were subsequently re-recorded and feature on the album. Due to the popularity of their songs with Bionicle and its fan base, Cryoshell announced plans to release an album for late 2008 featuring the songs they produced for them as well as new material. But due to inexplicit reasons, the release was pushed back numerous times until a definite date was confirmed. As a result of difficulties in securing a worldwide distribution agreement, ''Cryoshell'' was initially released in Scandinavia, but later received publication in other global territories through different record labels across a period of nearly two years. Upon release, the album received generally positive feedback, with reviewers applauding lead singer Christine Lorentzen's voice and the production of each track, while others felt that the band flawed in the structure of their lyrics and carry a sound too similar to that of American rock band Evanescence. ''Cryoshell'' has sprawled three singles to date; "Bye Bye Babylon" and "Creeping in My Soul" were released July 27 and December 1 of 2009 respectively, while a third titled "Breakout" was released December 9, 2012. The latter song will feature as one of two bonus tracks on a reissue of the album set to be released under The Leaders Records, an official date is yet to be announced. ==Recording and release== In October 2008, Cryoshell announced plans to record a full-length album set for release before the end of the year. The first confirmed tracks were "Closer to the Truth" and remixes of songs previously used by Lego for their Bionicle toy line, these included "Creeping in My Soul", "Face Me" and "Gravity Hurts", the latter two of which were originally sung by Danish singer Niels Brinck instead of lead vocalist Christine Lorentzen. Plans were later dropped to re-record the songs featuring Brinck, while a 'sparkling' new version of "Closer to the Truth" was promised. With no such album released by early 2009, the band spent the majority of the year recording new material. Cryoshell later announced that the album's release had been postponed until the fall of 2009 at the least, with no guarantee of an official release date. This was later pushed back to January 30, 2010, but when that date passed, it was pushed back further. Cryoshell wrapped up recording in April 2010 and set a date for their self-titled release as the following June 7. However, due to the difficulties of securing a worldwide release, it was only released in Scandinavia. ''Cryoshell'' was later published in different territories over a time period of nearly two years, making physical copies of the album hard to obtain. The entire album was produced and mixed by Jacob Hansen; head of Hansen Studios, where the band recorded in Ribe, Northern Denmark, while photography and graphics for the cover and lyric booklet was managed by concept artist Christian Faber. Cryoshell recorded and published the album under their own label, Cryoshell I/S, in conjunction with Norwegian label Voices Music & Entertainment. The band later recorded two new tracks with Hansen in late 2011. The songs "Breakout" and a remix of "Gravity Hurts" feature Danish singer Tine Midtgaard on vocals standing in for Lorentzen while the latter took maternity leave from the group. The songs were later confirmed to be included as bonus tracks on a reissue of the album after Cryoshell secured a deal with Greek record label The Leaders to re-release the album to a worldwide audience, a release date is yet to be confirmed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cryoshell (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
