"Creeping in My Soul" on YouTube |
"Creeping in My Soul" is a song by Danish rock band Cryoshell, released as the second single from their self-titled debut studio album on December 1, 2009.
Written by Mikkel Maltha and Anthony Lledo, the song was originally recorded before Cryoshell was initially formed and was used by toy manufacturer Lego for their Bionicle Barraki toy commercials in 2007, as well as the online mini-movie Creeps from the Deep.
Upon its original release, "Creeping in My Soul" proved to be popular with Bionicle's fan base and received a combined viewing figure of over one million across numerous videos on YouTube incorporating the song. It later became the number-one most downloaded file from the official Lego website and prompt the group to record subsequent songs for later Bionicle toy waves.
"Creeping in My Soul" was re-recorded in 2009 and produced by Jacob Hansen for Cryoshell's debut album, a music video followed the song's release as a single in April 2010.
The track is somewhat Cryoshell's most popular song among fans and has received positive reviews from music critics, many of which have compared it to the sound of American rock band Evanescence and applauded lead singer Christine Lorentzen on her vocalic style.
"Creeping in My Soul" was written by Mikkel Maltha and Anthony Lledo in late 2006. An earlier take of the track was used by The Lego Group after Maltha was contacted by them to write and produce a song as the soundtrack of their Barraki wave of Lego Bionicle construction toys, the production of which eventually lead to the formation of Cryoshell.
During production of the original version, Maltha, accompanied by fellow music composer and guitarist Kasper Søderlund and producer Eddie Simonsen, held auditions for who should provide vocals for it, and after sending five potential singers to The Lego Group's American headquarters to audition, the company chose Christine "Lore" Lorentzen (an employee of Advance, a creative agency linked with The Lego Group), whose vocals were eventually mixed onto the track.
In late 2008, Cryoshell announced that "Creeping in My Soul" would be re-recorded for their debut studio album with producer Jacob Hansen along with other tracks used by Lego, it was recorded in mid-2009 at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen and subsequently released the following December 1 as the second single from Cryoshell's debut album. It is featured as the album's opening track. The remix also features on the EP of the same name.
