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

[@KhairulRamzi-dc1jb]

Thanks Buddy ❤

[@TheZamaron]

@@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.)

[@XPGamingXPDK]

@@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.

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.

[@catpin]

This is the original record version is the best version of this song

[@zeanyt2372]

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.
