Cryoshell is the self-titled debut studio album by Danish rock band Cryoshell, released June 7, 2010 by Voices Music & Entertainment. Produced by Jacob Hansen, the album was recorded between late 2008 and April 2010 at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark.
Prior to recording, Cryoshell was best known for producing soundtrack music for Bionicle, a popular series of construction toys manufactured by Lego, that featured in the promotional material for various sets released between 2007 and 2009. This made Lego partially responsible for the band's formation. The album was originally announced for a late 2008 release, but was pushed back numerous times before receiving its initial Scandinavian release; the band secured international publication between 2011 and 2012.
Cryoshell received generally positive feedback. Lead singer Christine Lorentzen's vocal style was applauded, as well as the cinematic quality of each track. The band's sound was compared to the American rock band Evanescence, while criticism was put towards songs' lyrics.
The album sprawled two singles: "Bye Bye Babylon" and "Creeping in My Soul", released in July and November 2009, respectively.
