Many of the band's lyrics and all of the album covers center on the story of an old man, a cult figure called Wiseman.

They were later joined by Istvan Nachladal (Nahi) (vocals), Balazs Hornyak (drums) and Zsolt Galambos (guitar), who had also been a member of Legendary.

[citation needed] Molnar wanted to build up a narrative world around the name Wisdom, based on Iron Maiden's Eddie or Megadeth's Vic.

During the course of recording their first album, graphic designer Gyula Havancsak (Hjules) created the figure of Wiseman, who became the band's mascot.

In the spring of 2007, Wisdom embarked on a tour for the promotion of their own record, and also opened for Heaven and Hell at the Sziget Festival.

[5] During the tour, Nachladal left the band; Zoltan Kiss replaced him on vocals for their remaining concerts.

Japan's Spinning Records[9] and United States' CD InZane LLC[10] subsequently released Judas.

[11] At this time the band celebrated its 10th anniversary with a tour they named Wise Years, which concluded with their annual Keep Wiseman Alive concert in Budapest.

In August the album Judas was released worldwide, and to promote it the band joined Sabaton on their Swedish Empire Tour.

Fabio Lione (Rhapsody, Vision Divine, Kamelot Angra) sang several parts in the title song.
