Overview

While working in Avalanch, singer Víctor García and drummer Alberto Ardines decided to release an album with the songs they had composed in their spare time, as those were not accepted in the band.cite web
title=Living the Present|last=Tur|first=Juan|publisher=rocktrip.net|url=http://rocktrip.net/reportajes%2025.htm|accessdate=2008-04-29] All the songs dealt mostly with epic stories, immortal warriors, and personal experiences. Both members were later expelled from Avalanch, due to be working on a project behind the band's back. They decided create a band as they already had an "open path". The album was produced by themselves; recorded, mixed, and edited in Jaus Records, with cover and graphic design by Ricardo Menéndez (represented by Rick-Art).

Jardón didn't work on the album as it had already been recorded. In search of a keyboardist, the band conducted auditions from June 22 to August 12, 2002, recruiting Manuel Ramil.

Japanese rock magazine "Karma" catalogued "WarCry" as "a Spanish album that boosts true metal!".
