"Closer to the truth" was chosen as the theme song for the 2008 Bionicle Mistika launch. The now rerecorded version of this tune taken from the EP "Creeping in my soul" has been added.
@@nineeerie6518 Dude Bionicle was going strong before Cryoshell got involved, but they did help with it's popularity thanks to these amazing masterpeices of music that just fit so well with the theme. EVen a new Song by them "As Above, So Below" fits hauntingly well as you see the MU or the island of Mata Nui as "locked in your paradise/ sanctuary that burns while you play God (Mata Nui or Great Beings)", monsters coming out of the shadows, these machinesnes were never built to make things right/ burn alive (First being Mata Nui's destiny, 2nd can apply to the countdown the Mask Of Life was going through that if not stopped wuld have wiped out all life in the MU.)
@@Tulf42For a few more years? 1. Lego was not even close to shutting down even then they had millions and millions of dollars even then not struggling, so that's weird to say and 2. Lego is STILL going so for a few years is an underexaggeration since it's been over 10 years now. Also Lego was the one that kickstarted that band, however the ban helped a lot on bionicles too, because people like good music, and they make hella good music. However would not have discovered atleast not as well if Lego hadn't kickstarted them, so it's a vice versa not a one way thing.
I remember watching this forever ago in the Bionicle website when it used to exist. And I was captivated with the rock and the singing, and it was there I found my taste in music.
Funny you mention that. I'm just about to do a presentation in French at school where I talk about how I found my taste in music which is Metal. And Cryoshell with their music having been featured in Bionicle trailers are getting mentioned for sure.
I saw a bit of a Bionicle that for some odd reason in my drama class I swear I could feel the tears and memories flooding back for a Lego I loved for 12 years of my life
Of course it was there bionicle is like Avatar The Last Airbender, He-Man, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Back to The Future, Buck Rosgers, or Star Wars. It may technically be a show made for kids, but it was a masterclass is good storytelling.
Bionicle Gen 3 coming in this time it’s by directed by one the main designers of Bionicle Christian Faber he’s been working since back late 2018 he’s sticking to the Gen 1 timeline #14B2020 (hope that hashtags right) check his name on Instagram he’s got images for the franchise
I return to this song every now and then, and in a weird way I enjoy it now more than I did in 2009. They went really hard on that chorus, and Christine has a serious set of vocal cords to belt out notes like that.
I only recently started listening to this band again. It seems like so many years ago when I discovered their music through Bionicle, and it was some of the first music I really listened to. Was going through some rough times recently and had the thought to come back to this, and it was worth it. Many great memories of the music and Bionicle, and making more.
Listening to Cryoshell's newer songs, I still can't wait for their next song I feel like they have a very distinct sound that was really popular back like 12 years ago with older disturbed and Evanescence (generally the old emo movement) and they've managed to really take it, put their own spin on it and expand upon it Yes, like most of the people here, we remember y'all as the band that gave us our childhoods, but even as I've aged, I will always cherish this band not just for what it makes me feel from the older days but how it impresses me in recent times Thank you for existing, Cryoshell.
I just recently found this band and this is incredible. I cannot describe the feelings I get by listening to this. And no comment w/o mentioning Bionicle: I played with the toys as kid and those were just awesome times... too bad it doesn't exist anymore... But now. I've decided to take a look into the universe of Bionicle to hear the saga. :) That's the part I sadly missed as kid. :P

Ah, memories..... The old video was one of the first times I saw anything Bionicle- still a big fan! Thanks for many great years of music, Lore! Hope you'll come back as the lead singer!
Unfortunately, Lego destroyed all the molds for the G1 Bionicle pieces... Masks, armor, bones, *everything.* It's all about the modern, structurally Stronger, but less iconic CCBS system now. Even IF they wanted to start selling G1 Bionicle again, they'd have to remake the very molds used to form the plastic into the pieces. Costly...
This song's why unlike the fandom of Bionicle that loves to overpraise Mata-Nuva alot that I always loved Mistika besides Phantoka,Mahri,Barraki, and Piraka as 2006 to 2008 were all always my first introductions to Bionicle, now and forever :)
I swear this has been my situation too! I've been remembering it (used to be my absolute favorite song) for years but only went through the set generations and scraped through UA-cam today and sWeEt jEsUs tHe nOsTaLGiA
This song could be just as much about the Karda Nui story arc, as it could be about politics and society when you think about it. "I'm flying through a thousand lonely souls that have died. In swamps of evil lies." " Destiny is hard to meet. I'll hunt you somewhere down along the way. Don't you see, were meant to be, the prodigies that were meant to show the way. But I don't want to rule the world alone. None of us can make it on our own." And of course desperation involved. "I'm screaming but I cannot hear a sound. Then suffocation slowly comes around. Loneliness, eating me inside. It's burning me alive. I'm traveling through my mind. I'm flying through..." They're not just some theme band. This is real music, with a message. This is why I love cryoshell.

They were unashamedly like, "yeah. We're the bionicle band."
Remember kids, Lego helped kickstart a metal band.
And vice versa, a metal band kept Bionicle being cool and kept Lego in business for a few more years.
Excuse me, metal band helped kickstart a Lego's thing
Thanks Buddy ❤

This band deserved more fame.
Fame = Quality/2 x Attention²
And not the Lego company
I can't fault Christine, though. She put her family before her music career.
@@azimuth361 what is she up too now?
Agreed
Omg there's bionicles in the actual video
wtf really i thought this was an edit LMAO
Were you born yesterday? It's super obvious that they're in the video!
Bionicle, Cryoshell, and Greg Farhetny deserved ALOT MORE than what they got
A lot
*Farshtey
Farhetny
Christian Faber especially
Understatement of the century
Hoo boy that first "DESTINY" sent chills through me. It's like I'm back in 3rd and 4th grade again.
dang so true, man it hurts 😢
The part with the Mask of Life falling is just 🤯
Between this and Evanescence, I can’t get enough of music where women wail about existential dread
God that's it, you nailed it LMAO it speaks to me
Same tbh
Ye
Hell Yeah!

Damn i would also like to know how it went. @@hobbes2234
2008 was honestly one of the most hype filled years of my childhood.
2006-2009 for sure
Memories..

BIONICLE story telling should be used in any game, movie, etc...
I can’t get over how absolutely beautiful she is. Her eyes are creeping in my soul. When I fell for her I found out that gravity hurts.
Christine is the original goth mom.
Nina Hagen
You speak the truth, brother.
Wtf now siouxsie is the original goth mom 🤨
@tobiasboh3370 "the original 2000s"
She ain't even goth tho
Every track is a total banger wtf, Cryoshell is criminally underrated.
I low-key had a crush on Christine when I was 7 years old watching this. You guys were great
Who wouldnt shes si hot
She's insanely pretty, who wouldn't be into her?
I love it when they include the virtues [unity, duty, destiny] in their songs.
Incredibly memorable band I seriously hate that I forgot this song and these bionicle
Bionicle was part of my childhood, much like Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Godzilla. I miss it dearly, but I'm glad that it isn't forgotten.
One of THE most underrated songs of all time.
A true musical masterpiece.
BIONICLE! I WANT IT BACK!
Same dud
It is in 2015 to 2016 but it sucks.

BIONICLE, CRYOSHELL! I WANT IT BACK!
Destiny is hard to meet, because there's a thing called dutyyy
Dont you see, we need unityyyy
....
Rejoice, bionicle brethren
Unity Duty Destiny the 3 word we will remember till the last moment and beyond of our life
This band's music has lodged itself into me personally
This is the kinda music I listen to when I gotta push it to the limit.
When she looked at the camera?
I felt that.

The name of their new song is “As Above, So Below” in case anyone was wondering.

Bionicle is what helped get Cryoshell on the map, love them both
Hapy bionicle day everybody
I love how the title is a foreshadow of the end of the 2008 arc. Closer to the Truth...of what was Mata Nui all those years
Unity! Duty! Destiny!
Fantastic song
the delivery on "loneliness eating me inside" always hits like a truck
1:01 right?

Now they are dead again... Bye Bye Babilon I mean G2

And... they're gone again.

11 years later and this MusicVideo/Commercial is still fucking amazing
RIP bionicle. :( one of my favourite toys of childhood.
another masterpiece from cryoshell
12 years later, still one of my favorite songs.
that fucking chorus oh my god
This is the first time when a song made me bang my head... I really hope that you come back one day to give this world even more epic songs
Those are the sounds of childhood
Ah, memories..... The old video was one of the first times I saw anything Bionicle- still a big fan! Thanks for many great years of music, Lore! Hope you'll come back as the lead singer!
Bioncle was my favourite toys since I was a boy.
Now I'm adult and Bionicle is still my favourite thing.
Any one still listening in 2020?
2024 baby🎉
Lego should resell the Bionicle products from 2001-2010
if they do
Me : shut up and take my money
usually i dont impulse buy but i would buy the SHIT out of that if they resold them
nah doesn't make sense, although that would be cool
