WarCry formed in 2001 when the members Víctor García and former drummer Alberto Ardines were expelled from Avalanch. They released two albums in less than a year and by the third release they had become one of the most important groups on the Spanish metal music scene.[1] After the fourth album critics stated that WarCry is "one of the few bands in the Spanish heavy metal that actually reinvents itself steadily".[2] The band received many awards with their fifth album, and critics said, "Hats off, it's clear that WarCry is one of the best metal bands, not to say the best".[3] They are noted for the use of keyboards, aggressive and fast drumming style, García's high pitched and gravel vocals, and twin-guitar sound. Allmusic's Evan Gutierrez stated that "already well-known throughout Spain, WarCry have begun to gain a reputation among metal enthusiasts throughout Latin America."[4]
