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 ↴
See through the eyes of this girl
Break these chains, wash away the stains
Until nothing but a free mind remains
Maybe then you will see
What the beauty of life truly means
Take my hand for the time we'll spend
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnanimitas eximia!
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnitudo et psalmodia!
Celebrate, iubilate
Celebrate vitam et libertatem
Celebrate, iubilate
Ecce vita!
There's no place around
Where the beauty of life can't be found
Hear the wind whisper tales and hymns
Of a new dawn about to begin
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnanimitas eximia!
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnitudo et psalmodia!
Celebrate, iubilate
Celebrate vitam et libertatem
Celebrate, iubilate
Ecce vita!
Leave your past behind
Let go of the doubts in your mind
Change your ways here's the chance you craved
For a new start with the cleanest of states
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnanimitas eximia!
Quae laetitia!
Quae magnitudo et psalmodia!
Celebrate, iubilate
Celebrate vitam at libertatem
Celebrate, iubilate
Ecce vita!
The lyrics of Krypteria's song, Quae Laetitia, invite the listeners to see the world through the eyes of the girl singing, and to break free from the chains and stains that hold their minds captive. With the hope that in doing so, they will gain a new perspective on the beauty of life and embark on a journey through a wonderland, discovering all the good things it has to offer. The lyrics continue to urge the listeners to celebrate life and liberty, to leave the past and their doubts behind and grasp the opportunity for a fresh start, a clean state from which they can begin anew.
The song's title, Quae Laetitia, is in Latin and roughly translates to "what joy" or "what happiness." The song contains several classical Latin phrases throughout its lyrics, giving it a timeless, almost mystical feel. The song's theme of breaking free from the past and starting anew is a universal one and can resonate with listeners, young and old. The song's infectious melody and instrumentals, coupled with the singer's haunting voice, make it an uplifting and empowering song that lends itself to being played on repeat.
