In November 1992 the band entered the "Molon Lave" studio to record the track "Angelsign" for a local compilation which unfortunately was never released. Due to several personal problems and line up changes the band went through a non-creative period of almost 4 years!
In August 1996, Andreas "The Wizard" decided to renew and reform the band to record the debut demo called "The Ivory Tower". Their participation in the compilation CD of the major metal magazine "Metal Invader" increased the popularity of the band resulting in their participation in the Metal compilation CD "Pandora's Metal Box" with two tracks from their debut demo in 1998. One year later they entered the studio to record the "Promo 1999" CD with two tracks of their freshly composed material.
After a couple of years of intense rehearsing and song writing, they recorded their first album called "Power Within". The album released from the local label Black Lotus on November of 2001 and it received very good reviews from all over the world.
In December of 2002 the band with the same line-up entered the studio once again, this time for the recording of their second album entitled "Nightbreed" which was also released from Black Lotus Records in June 2003 and made the band one of the most successful ones in Hellas, in their music genre. At the same time (2003) two new members joined the band John B. on the second guitar and Nick "Peper" Zanninello on the keyboards.
With the solid older line up, along with the two new members the band entered the studio in the summer in order to record its third full length album entitled "WARFAIR". In October of 2005 WARFAIR was released by Black Lotus Records.
In the beginning of 2007 John B., Simos Kaggelaris and Spiros Triantafillou left the band and they were replaced by Elias Koskoris (guitars) and Nikos Hortis (bass).
In October of 2008 WOLFCRY started recording their fourth full length album “Glorious” which was mastered at the famous “Jailhouse Studio” by Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, PRETTY MAIDS and many more). It was released in June of 2010 from PAINKILLER RECORDS (a division of APOLLON RECORDS).
After the end of these recordings Nick "Peper" Zanninello has left the band.

Metamorphosis
Wolfcry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Lyrics: Costas Hatzigeorgiou]
Waking up at nights, I'm the ruler of darkness
King of the night
Full moon is rising, my eyes are shining
As i look to the light
My destiny's cursed
Hunted for eternity
A private hell
[CHORUS:] Metamorphosis [x2]
Thirsty for blood, i only wish for death
Just to survive
Who can save me? only a silver bullet
Only a single shot
There is no escaping, my desperate howling
My silent cry
Trapped in a body, i am a wolf
(A Wolf) With Human Heart
So i wait for the time
My destiny's cursed, hunted for eternity
A private hell
The lyrics to Wolfcry's song Metamorphosis narrate the story of a werewolf, a person cursed to transform into a wolf on the night of the full moon. This transformation brings misery to the singer's life. He wakes up at night as the ruler of darkness and the king of the night. His eyes shine as he gazes at the full moon. The metamorphosis has turned him into a creature of the night, thirsty for blood, and wishing for death, because only death will help him escape from his predicament. His survival is only possible by getting shot by a silver bullet. The pain of transformation is evident in his howling and silent cry. The singer is trapped in a body, he is no longer human but a wolf, with a human heart. He is hunted for eternity, and there is no escaping his fate.
The lyrics of Metamorphosis are metaphorical and draw a parallel between the werewolf and human beings who hide their true selves, feeling trapped in their own bodies. The song describes the metamorphosis from human to werewolf as a painful transformation, highlighting the suffering and isolation of individuals who feel trapped in their own bodies.
