WarCry is a Spanish power metal band formed in 2001 after Víctor García and Alberto Ardines were ejected from Avalanch.

Guitarists Pablo García and Fernando Mon appeared only as guest musicians on the debut album, but became full-time members on 2002 along with keyboardist Manuel Ramil and bassist Alvaro Jardón.

On the first concert of the tour supporting the album, the band presented Roberto García, formerly of Avalanch, as Jardón's replacement.

That performance was released on 27 February 2006 as a live album, named Directo A La Luz and soon was certified gold.

[3] La Quinta Esencia was their fifth album, released on 18 September 2006 with a great acceptance by the fans and the press, taking them to the highest positions on the Spanish charts.
