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.

Time to Bring the Pain
Krypteria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got you in my sight
Licking my chops the wait is over
And the time’s just right to strike
Let’s go, no more toying around anymore, let’s go
Time for me to bring the pain
Venatrix appropinquit
When your heart’s being ripped out
Time for me to bring the pain
Venatrix appropinquit
Time to finish what you started in the past
Right here, right now
I am quickly closing in on you
I’ll put an end to this affair
And you won’t have a clue what hit you
As I'm already there
Let’s go, no more toying around anymore, let’s go
Time for me to bring the pain
Venatrix appropinquit
Time to teach you bout the feeling
When your heart’s being ripped out
Time for me to bring the pain
Venatrix appropinquit
Time to finish what you started in the past
Right here, right now
Idcirco ecce ego extendam manum
Meam super te et tradam te in direptionem gentium
Et interficiam te de populis
Et perdam de terris et conteram
Let’s go, no more toying around anymore, let’s go
Time for me to bring the pain
Venatrix appropinquit
Time to teach you bout the feeling
When your heart’s being ripped out
Time for me to bring the pain
Venatrix appropinquit
Time to finish what you started in the past
Right here, right now
The lyrics of Krypteria's song Time to Bring the Pain are a vivid portrayal of a predator-prey dynamic between two individuals. The lyrics suggest that the singer is a hunter and the subject is their prey. The predator has been biding their time and waiting for the right moment to strike. The lyrics emphasize this sentiment by saying "licking my chops the wait is over, and the time's just right to strike." They are determined to end the affair that they have been having with their prey and teach them about the feeling of having their heart ripped out. The lyrics suggest that the predator is closing in on their prey, and once they catch them, they won't have a clue what hit them. The song finishes with a Latin phrase that translates to "Therefore, behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee."
The lyrics of the song have a very aggressive and dominant tone, suggesting that the predator is in control and the prey is powerless. It seems like the singer is seeking revenge and justice for something that the prey has done in the past. The Latin phrase at the end of the song adds to this vengeful sentiment, providing a biblical reference to God's punishment of those who do wrong. Overall, the lyrics suggest a tense and violent confrontation between the two individuals.
