They started in 2001 when Chris Siemons, Frank Stumvoll and S.C. Kuschnerus wanted to do a fantasy-musical CD.

One year after, a big flood was in India and the German TV station RTL asked them to take Liberatio as a benefit single. They decided to take Ji-In to as the singer of the band. In 2005 their second album In Medias Res was released. Before joining Krypteria, Ji-In had participated in the auditions a TV talent show "Popstars" to be a member of No Angels, but she was eliminated. There was a big hype in Korea, Republic of about their second album and their song Victoriam Speramus became number 1 hit there.
The next recording was an EP - Evolution Principle was released in 2006.
On January 19, 2007, Krypteria released their third and latest studio album, the first one with a title in English, Bloodangel's Cry. It is titled after one of the tracks, The Night All Angels Cry. Bloodangel's Cry is so far the band's most successful work. In early 2008, the band announced that they were working on their third studio album My Fatal Kiss, which they released as follows:
* in August 28th, 2009 - Germany;
* in January 29th, 2010 - the rest of Europe.
In Spring/Summer 2010 they will released it in the rest of the world. On their official Twitter page, they announced that their next album would be called All Beauty Must Die and would be released on April 22, 2011
In 2012 the band announced to go on indefinite hiatus, because singer Ji-In was expecting her first child.

All Systems Go
Krypteria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The victim of my ambition
On a mission to the stars
No way back I find myself on the
Edge of one gaping nothing
Did I really order this?
Make us proud
It's up to you now
Break a leg
We'll be right back
Ten-nine-eight-seven-six-five-four-three-two-one-and
All systems go
Shield your soul
It's 4th and goal from the 21
In danger I know
Of losing it all
Still it can be done
This could be my moment in time
It's there for the taking - the question
Is can I make it last?
Face the crowd
Make us proud
It's up to you now
Break a leg
We'll be right back
Ten-nine-eight-seven-six-five-four-three-two-one-and
All systems go
Shield your soul
It's 4th and goal from the 21
In danger I know of losing it all
Still it can be done
Ten-nine-eight-seven-six-five-four-three-two-one-and
All systems go
Shield your soul
It's 4th and goal from the 21
In danger I know
Of losing it all
Still it can be done
All systems go
Face the unknown
One last shot from the 21
I enter the zone
Cause deep down I know
Yes it can be done
You-might-receive-what-you-want-and-still-end-up-with... nothing
