Warbreed started back in late 2003 out of the need for Sergio and Guillermo to embody their ideas of how a dream-band would be in a joint band.

At that time, Sergio played in Argonath (a Melodic Death Metal band) and Guillermo played, and still does as a parallel project, in Infernal Winter (Black Metal).

However, the idea was to do something different: Melodic Death Metal in Argentina is not a very common genre with great legends but rather a front that still waits to be open.
Moreover, most Melodeath bands around the globe have a tendency to write lyrics about social current affairs. Hence, Warbreed is born as a band that is essentially Melodic Death Metal, yet with a historical conceptual basis, chiefly centered in the events occurred during World War Two.

Let us get one thing straight: Warbreed is an apolitical, unbiased band. They feel no sympathy whatsoever for any kind of ideology based on intolerance, whether Nazism, Neo-Nazism, Zionism, Fundamentalism, Ethnocentrism or any other such movement involving feelings of hatred towards others or the readiness to violate Human Rights, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [proclaimed by the United Nations on 10 December 1948]. In a nutshell, the interest of the band is genuinely historical and solely for entertainment purposes.

Now back to the band. In the year 2004, Guillermo and Sergio devoted themselves to finding a new bass player. Soon after, they met Pablo, who was a friend's friend, as usual. Ever since, Pablo became a permanent member for his musicianship combined with his exceptional personality made him a crucial member.

Several drummers auditioned for Warbreed but none proved appropriate. Among them was Fernando Galliana, along with whom Guillermo, Pablo and Sergio played live for the first time (back then known as Aryan Beauty) as the opening act for Bloodparade, Dominus Inferi, Ariadna Project and Jezabel. Regretfully, Fernando left the band because of personal problems soon after.

Almost by chance, Diego Conte, guitar player of Mastifal, one of the best Death-Thrash bands in Argentina, came into scene. Diego was a friend of Guillermo's and, besides, Sergio and Diego had already worked together in the production of Mastifal's latest work, Carnivora. So, Sergio and Guillermo told Diego about their project and gave him something to listen to. Diego got enthusiastic about the proposal and joined the band soon after.

After an unsuccessful search for drummers, Nicolás Ghiglione joined Warbreed. At that time the youngest member in the band, Nicolás also played in Sacrum and in PGM Project and brought with him a rich progressive background.

As stated before, at that moment Warbreed was called Aryan Beauty. The reasons for such a change are sundry, mainly social, cultural and political. The name Aryan Beauty was meant to be one of ironical nature. The raison d'être of this name lied on a rhetorical figure: Shakespeare once stated that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and he could not be more eloquent, for the concept of “Aryan purity” is as inconsistent and subjective as that of beauty. Racial purity and sheer objective beauty as ideologies are basically unsustainable, and that was meant to be shown in the name.

However, and in spite of the band's most humble intentions, not everybody understood the irony in the name. Therefore, the band opted for a more neutral designation that still retained the essence of the band's theme. The decision was to change the name to Warbreed. A name that represent many of us, the descendants to people affected in one way or another by World War Two, a war that left its scars throughout the globe.

In January 2006, Warbreed entered the studio to record its first work, an EP entitled So Cry Havoc…, which is comprised of five tracks; namely, Sippenhaft, Aliy Sneg (Blood-red Snow), The Spandau Enigma, The Hour Of The Wolf (Berserker Version) and Hostis Ante Portas. Said EP is available both in its free online version and in its traditional format.

In May 2006, Warbreed played live for the first time. This event took place at Espacio Cultural Crisólogo Larralde (also known as La Colorada) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Brutal Fest II, as the event was called, also brought some of the best Argentine extreme metal acts together, namely, Sorgsen, Anomalía and Mastifal. Warbreed´s first performance live was a complete success: the sound could not be better, the response of the 450 attendants was overwhelming and the show per se, shattering.

In July, Nicolás Ghiglione and Warbreed decided to part ways. Nicolás had joined Warbreed some five months before the recording of So Cry Havoc..., and remained in the band for almost a year.

Mauro Frison was chosen as his replacement. Mauro is an awesome drummer, who in the past played both as a stable musician and as session musician in numberless bands, one of them is Embodiment - a Melodeath band from the city of La Plata- the one of the best known.

Nowadays, Warbreed are polishing the very last details as regards composition and production for what will really soon be their first record, and plan to play all over the country (and abroad!) to show the audience all their sentiment, melody and aggression.
