Christallen was formed in 1963 in Falköping, Sweden.

The group worked until 1971 in various constellations. Christallen started out as a pure song group but over the years the music developed and the blues section took on a more prominent role. In this way, you created your own profile. Lennart Sjöholm, who was a foreground figure within the group, composed his own songs and lyrics and arranged all material for the group.

Christallen appeared in various contexts in churches, sports arenas and concert venues as well as in various entertainment events and places of worship, because they wanted to reach outside the church's framework. Often the group played in front of crowded premises. Among other things, they participated in and introduced the youth program Gospel Night together with Offensive Nytt Liv. The group also participated in several gospel gala, including with the choir Choralerna.

Christallen toured all over the country but also in Denmark and Norway. They also participated in radio and TV and released 4 EPs and 3 albums.
