[edit] History
Cry of the Afflicted formed in December 2003. They recorded their first single Tale of a Soul in January 2004 and released their first EP From The Shadows on September 24, 2004. They spent the whole of October 2004 on the road headlining for their first cross Canada tour.
Before that they had toured as support for Misery Signals, Bury Your Dead and Stutterfly.
Garrett (vocals), James (guitarist), and Nik (bassist) had been members of a band called About Face. Nik met Troy (drums) at the beach in 2003 and got talking about music. Troy and Steve (guitar) were playing in another Kelowna band. The five of them started jamming together and decided to form a new band together. They appointed Ethics Industries as their managers in July 2004.
The band released their first full length album, Consume This Wasteland, in June 2006.
The band signed to Solid State Records on January 30, 2007, and are currently recording another album with producer Jeff Schneeweis to be released in the summer of 2007.
