Christine Gyrsting Lorentzen (better known by her stage name/ nickname "Lore") is the current lead vocalist for Cryoshell. She has been singing and working with music in the greater part of her life.
Prior to Cryoshell, Lorentzen has recorded in Los Angeles, done model work and in 2006 starred in the Danish version of the TV show Star Search and later that year, she hosted the Danish version of the worldwide successful TV concept Strictly Come Dancing. Since then, Cryoshell has been Lore’s dedication, and with her powerful and intense voice, she draws people into the Cryoshell universe.
In late 2006, Lorentzen was offered the chance to sing vocals in a one-off recording project; the song Creeping In My Soul. She was joined by Kasper Søderlund on guitar and Søren Bendz on piano. The song was used as the soundtrack for the popular LEGO toy theme BIONICLE's 'Barraki' toyline. The song proved to be a hit, rapidly becoming as the most downloaded MP3 from the official LEGO website.
Over a year later, Lore, along with Søderlund and newcomer Mikkel Maltha, released a new song for BIONICLE to help promote their 'Mistika' toyline, Closer To The Truth, and at the same time, decided on a band name; Cryoshell. The trio later announced plans to release an album to be released in Fall 2008, but delays had caused the album release to be moved to a later date. In 2009, Cryoshell released a fifth and final song for BIONICLE as well as their first official single, Bye Bye Babylon.

In late 2006, Kasper was asked to play the guitar for a one-off recording project, the song Creeping In My Soul, along with Advance employee Christine Lorentzen on vocals and Søren Bendz on piano. Creeping In My Soul was then used as the soundtrack for LEGO BIONICLE's 'Barraki' toyline in early 2007.
Due to the online popularity of the song, Søderlund and Mikkel Maltha (a close friend of Søderlund who has worked with him on numerous occasions) along with Danish vocalist Niels Brinck, recorded a new song for BIONICLE called Face Me in mid-2007. Søderlund again played the guitar for the song, with Brinck on vocals and Maltha as the director. Later in the same year, the trio recorded a third song for BIONICLE to help promote their 'Phantoka' toyline in early 2008 titled Gravity Hurts.

The newly-formed Cryoshell later confirmed plans to release a debut album in the Fall of 2008, but delays had caused to the album's release to be moved to a later date. In 2009, Cryoshell released a fifth and final song for BIONICLE as well as their first single, Bye Bye Babylon.

Maltha brings piano and symphonic flavors to the music of Cryoshell with passion, and he creates the dense harmonies that define a base for the epic world in which Cryoshell exists. Mikkel has composed music for several films including Lars von Trier’s Boss of it All, Råzone (Life Hits) and the Oscar nominated At Night.
Maltha first joined Cryoshell (before the band named itself) when he was asked to direct and play the keyboard for a song to be used for the LEGO BIONICLE 'Mahri' toyline Face Me. Kasper Søderlund provided guitar with Niels Brinck on vocals. The trio later recorded another song for BIONICLE, Gravity Hurts, an released it as the soundtrack for their 'Phantoka' line-up in early 2008.
In the Summer of 2008, after Brinck left the music group, Maltha, Søderlund and Creeping In My Soul singer Christine Lorentzen released a new song to help promote BIONICLE's 'Mistika' toyline titled Closer To The Truth. They then named themselves Cryoshell and annonuced plans for a debut album. In 2009, Cryoshell released a fifth and final song for BIONICLE as well as their first single, Bye Bye Babylon.
