After their first demo in 2002 they had the opportunity to perform at Summer Rocks festival among metal artists like U.D.O., Saxon, Doro and Dionysus. They released their debut EP entitled Wisdom in 2004. In 2006 Wisdom performed as an opening act for Helloween in Budapest.

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)
With this promo, the label Southern Hellish Productions (Argentina) contacted the band and agreed to record an album that would originally be named “Empire of Hadith”. The band entered L.A. Studios for the recording of 12 songs but, ...recording of 12 songs but, due to some problems, this album was never released., this album was never released. Therefore the band splits up.
Late 1998 Seldrack and Berhkaial decide to continue with the band. They invited D.A. to join the band. With this line-up Wisdom recorded 3 songs that would become part of a 4-way split “Purgatory Unchained – Paraguayan Compilation Tape”, released by Covenant Records (Paraguay) in 1999 “Purgatory Unchained” At that time the band started to explore more experimental sounds, leaving behind the fast and aggressive music, the trademark of the beast. The lyrics talked about spirituality and the dark side of the human mind.
After this release D.A. left the band and Joz. Perversus took his place. With this line-up Wisdom released their independent debut album “Chrysalis Of Sphere”.
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.
In October ’04 Seldrack LK asked Berhkaial to return for a live show after 5 years of silence. Pomber RG was invited to take over the bass. During this reunion a new rehearsal was recorded (Virus 2004) and released through Seldrack LK’s little label Babylon Records. After this performance Berhkaial left the band. “Virus”. 2004, Also a compilation tape was also released: “Reverence to the Southern Throne. About the middle of 2007 the label Southern Darkness Productions (Colombia) released the album recorded in 1997 “Empire” in professional tape format . After this Seldrack LK resurrected the beast calling Pomber RG and KH-aos, leaving the line-up of “The Unholy Trinity” as follows:
Seldrack LK (Drums & Vocals), Pomber RG (Bass & Guitars) & KH-aos (Guitars).
Wheels Of The War
Wisdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the war inside
Like the pain of holy thunder
Hurts every time
Over the fields you go
Feel it even now
Hear the gunshot, smell the carnage
Look to the future pray for all
Pray, the Lord's gonna hear you
Look to the time when winds o'war
Don't blow in the sky
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you see men killed by force
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you hear them cry
You're hearing screams behind
Never-ending calls
Ghostly voices keep you under
Their grasping hold
Road to Eternity
Calling you away
Like the sirens holy voice, but
Hey, you must wait
[Bridge]
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you see men killed by force
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you hear them cry
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Yeah, you feel their life is false
Wheels of the war crash all the more
Oh, you watch them die
The lyrics of Wisdom's song Wheels Of The War describe the experience of a soldier walking alone on the battlefield, feeling the war within and the pain of every thunder. Even after the fighting is over, the soldier can still feel the effects of the battle, smelling the carnage and hearing the gunshots. The soldier is haunted by the never-ending calls and ghostly voices of the fallen soldiers, calling him towards the road to eternity. Despite the chaos and destruction, the song encourages the listener to look towards the future and pray for peace while acknowledging the grim reality of war.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the brutality of war, where the wheels of the war crash all the more, and men are killed by force. The soldier hears the cries and screams of the fallen, feeling their life is false as he watches them die. The song paints a vivid picture of the devastating impact war has on soldiers and their families, emphasizing the importance of seeking peace to avoid such unbearable suffering.
