Powerful heavy guitar riffs with classical orchestral keyboard sound and energetic drumming frames the melancholic poetries of diversified and powerful male vocals. With its mystic and dark, epic and aggressive, melodic and emotional tunes and lyrics, MOONCRY creates a truly dynamic and touching atmosphere. 

MOONCRY was found in 2006 in Southern Germany at the Lake Constance. In 2007 the debut album “Legacy of Hope” was released, in 2010 the 2nd album „Rivers of Heart“. In early 2012 the heavy-magazine Stormbringer nominated „Rivers of Heart“ as the best album of 2011, and MOONCRY as surprise of the year 2011.

One year later MOONCRY recorded their 3rd Album „A Mirror’s Diary“. With this new CD the band managed to present not only their further musical development by sticking to the path of the previous album, but even enter an absolutely new level of Dark Melodic Metal: More powerful, more epic and more dynamic than ever before.

2014 the heavy-magazine Crossfire nominated “A Mirror’s Diary” for rank 3 of the top ten albums of 2013. In April 2014 MOONCRY received the rating for “Masters of Symphonic Metal” and played at the festival with the same name. In early 2016 the magazine “Metal over the South” nominated “A Mirror’s Diary” for the album of the year 2015. 

In September 2016 MOONCRY entered with the song “The Beast Within Me” straight on rank no. 26 of the Cashbox US National Airplay Top 50 Rock Charts, and they held 15 weeks up to rank no. 16.

Now MOONCRY has a new line up and is working on new songs and also to be back on stage very soon.
