Essengerknown for his forays into EDM and Rock fusions and Cryoshell, known for their Symphonic Rock contributions to the Bionicle franchise have united to drop the epic "As Above, So Below." With Cryoshell's lead vocalist Christine Lorentzen's haunting vocals intertwining with Essenger's with thought provoking lyrics the track explores the unique world scarred by devastation and ruin.
In his own words Essengerexplains, "This track marks an exciting collaboration with Cryoshell, the band that first ignited my passion for creating music of my own. As a dedicated Bionicle fan, their memorable contributions to the franchise’s soundtrack left a profound mark on my creative path. It's been a thrill witnessing their own artistic evolution since those beginnings, and an honor to have them work alongside me on this track."
'As Above, So Below' navigates the fragile balance between the tangible overworld, scarred by eons of neglect and environmental ruin, and a technological sanctuary of steel and code we've constructed to escape the darkness that’s been left to fester. Can a glimmer of hope spark a revolution to heal and return to the world that cradles us, or will both realms crumble under the weight of neglect and corruption?"
Under the shifting, gritty guitars, heavy rhythms, and face-paced rhythms, the story unfolds through a symphonic rock soundscape. Can they find what was lost? Can they heal their world? Or will it fall to darkness and corruption forever?
"We were flattered when Essenger asked us to perform with him on his new song," explains Cryoshell. "And with a track as strong as this, we had to say yes. We feel quite at home in Essenger's sound, and we hope the audience will receive the song well - we can’t wait!"
Essenger stands on the cutting edge of electronic music, blending an array of influences for a sound that pays tribute to modern alt-rock, EDM, cyberpunk, and synthwave. The artist infuses his songwriting with powerful and personal lyrics, and the result is a singular creative style that forges new ground for contemporary electronic music.
The artist’s adept compositional skills and production chops helped his early singles attract a significant following while racking up hundreds of thousands of streams on individual songs. Essenger soon connected with prominent labels including Seeking Blue and Monstercat, and those early successes led to an album deal with independent label FiXTin late 2019.
To kick off the new partnership,FiXTreleased Essenger’s debut full-length album, After Dark, in early 2020. The recording featured collaborations with Scandroid, PYLOT, Young Medicine, and Lexi Norton, earning praise from fans while connecting with licensing opportunities including the popular freestyle dance VR game Synth Riders. In the Summer of 2020,Essengerfollowed up with a full-length remix album release of After Dark: The Remixes, including mixes from Protostar, Mazare, Direct, Kazukii, Extra Terra, and more. In early 2021Essengerrenewed a deal with FiXT to release more music together in the coming years. He followed this up with a US/Canada tour with Cybertronic Spree in the Fall of 2021, and a US tour with Monuments in 2022. The artist’s adept compositional skills and production chops helped his early singles attract a significant following while racking up hundreds of thousands of streams. Today he has over 400,000+ monthly global listeners.
Coming from symphonic industrial rock based on classic battles between good and evil, Cryoshellis now exploring the grey areas of life. This entails a somewhat more complex musical expression, but still keeping the underlying love to the industrial, the dark, and the honesty that defines Cryoshell.
CRYOSHELLwas formed in 2006 to create the signature tune of the LEGO toy line BIONICLE. Of all the toy lines produced by LEGO, BIONICLE is the most successful and the only LEGO produced intellectual property. CRYOSHELL’s first single, "Creeping In My Soul" immediately became one of the most downloaded files at the LEGO web site - a site with 15 million visitors every month
CRYOSHELL aims to create a hard-edged and modern yet fragile and classical mood. Built on experience, talent and a love for rock, pop and metal, the CRYOSHELL sound can be described as epic symphonic rock with references to bands such as Evanescence and Linkin Park. The music is built upon symphonic keyboard harmonies, heavy insisting guitar riffs and powerful vocals spanning from the quiet and intense to forceful primal screams. The larger-than-life themes such as destiny and identity are spelled out but kept fresh by raw guitars and modern sound design.
"As Above, So Below" is out now from FiXT.
