Cry of the Afflicted was a Canadian post-hardcore band from Kelowna, British Columbia.
They recorded their first single "Tale of a Soul" in January 2004 and quickly rose in popularity in their city's local scene.
Before that they had toured as support for bands such as Misery Signals, Means, Bury Your Dead and Stutterfly.
Garrett Packer (vocals), James Johnson (guitarist), and Nik Wagner (bassist) had been members of a band called About Face.
In 2004, they appointed Ethics Industries as their managers and, in 2006, released their first full-length album, Consume This Wasteland.
