They started in 2001 when Chris Siemons, Frank Stumvoll and S.C. Kuschnerus wanted to do a fantasy-musical CD. There was no singer at this time, because they wanted to record the CD with many different vocalists. In 2003 their debut album Krypteria was released. 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.

Krypteria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey I got you in my heart
It's been a long time coming but here we are
Start the journey to the stars
You can count on me, I'll never let you down
You're a part of me, I'll help you out
Concordia - if we only hold on tight
Concordia - we will make it through all right
Concordia - I'll be forever by your side
As long as we stand together our dream can come alive
The time has come for us to step into the light, we'll be all right
When you're feeling down or need a friend
There is one thing you need to understand
We're in this together now and then
If you need me just reach out your hand
You can count on me, I'll never let you down
One thing I guarantee, I'll bail you out
Concordia - we can make it through the night
Concordia - if we only hold on tight
Concordia - we will make it through all right
Concordia - I'll be forever by your side
As long as we stand together our dream can come alive
The time has come for us to step into the light, we'll be all right
Concordia - we can make it through the night
Concordia - if we only hold on tight
Concordia - we will make it through all right
Concordia - I'll be forever by your side
As long as we stand together our dream can come alive
The time has come for us to step into the light, we'll be all right
The lyrics of Krypteria's song "Concordia" tells a story of two individuals who have come a long way and are standing at the door of a new beginning. The song is all about companionship, togetherness, and the struggles that come with life, but reassures us that with a helping hand from a trusted friend, we can make it through anything. The first verse of "Here we stand and we made it very far" evokes a sense of victory, as if the two characters have faced many difficulties to get here, but finally, they have achieved something significant, and they're proud of it. The next line, "Hey, I got you in my heart" accentuates the idea of emotional bond forged through the hardship, a notion that is built upon in the choruses.
The chorus of the song speaks about how the two characters can conquer anything as long as they have Concordia, which means harmony, agreement, and unity. The line "We can make it through the night" reinforces the idea of facing difficult times together while "If we only hold on tight" suggests that they have to stick with each other through thick and thin. The phrase "The time has come for us to step into the light" could indicate that the two characters have to step out of their comfort zone and embrace new beginnings, but they can do it together.
In summary, this song is an inspiring reminder that no matter how tough the journey can be, we all need someone to lean on. "Concordia" emphasizes the importance of having a trustworthy friend who will always be there for you, no matter what.
