3. During the second half of 1993, Seldrack LK and Berhkaial gave birth to this beast that went through many changes of name. Daemon would join the band on October of that same year, and WISDOM was chosen as the official name. The first demo was recorded in may 1995 “The South, The Sun, The Sign…” A rehearsal demo was recorded October 1995 “29 A.S”.
This release only was distributed to zines, labels and friends. On this booklet only Berhkaial and Daemon appeared in the band pic, though Seldrack LK recorded all percussions. This was because he decided to take some time out. On December of the same year the beast made its live debut and after that, lay to rest for a year. Seldrack returns to the band October 1996, but under a new pseudonym, Rex Raven III. In April 1997 a new rehearsal demo was recorded “Primum Mobile” (Promo ´97)

This record differed completely from anything that was recorded before. With a new logo, image and musical approach, Wisdom ventured to experiment with electronic and Gothic elements due to Berhkaial’s (E.R.) musical and lyrical influences.
After the recording of “Chrysalis…”, Berhkaial (E.R.) left the band and Seldrack LK and Joz Perversus continued to perform in several live shows in Paraguay and Brazil. After a few months, Seldrack LK decided to change the band’s name to Angelcoma due to the different musical approach they chose to follow. Soon afterwards the band splits up and each member continued to play in other projects.

Wisdom Lyrics

Like a fly
Flyin' through the sky
Sands of time
Runnin' out
Make the most of life
