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)

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.

Wisdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those nightmarish dreams in your head
God speed you boy, if you're leaving your home
Find yourself in this world, be yourself
Wherever you are and he comes to your mind
Just remember the words that he said
"Never say die, got to make up your mind
In the song "Wiseman Said" by Wisdom, the lyrics speak to the struggles of navigating through life and the importance of being true to oneself. The line "God only knows, they don't leave you alone" suggests that life can be overwhelming and people may feel like they cannot escape their problems. The next line "All those nightmarish dreams in your head" illustrates the toll those problems can take on a person's mental health. Despite this, the lyrics provide encouragement by saying "God speed you boy, if you're leaving your home, find yourself in this world, be yourself." The singer encourages the listener to embrace their individuality and find their place in the world.
The verses of the song also touch on the idea of self-determination. The singer in the lyrics faces a difficult decision about leaving home and the chorus provides words of wisdom to guide him. "Just remember the words that he said, 'Never say die, got to make up your mind, be the master of your life 'n death'" suggests that the only control we have over our lives is the choices we make for ourselves.
