The first self-titled recording Still It Cries was recorded in 1998 and 1999 on their own because of the high demand nachgemastert .

In 1999 Still It Cries started their first real release with The Lie in Beauty , but still on their own. With this, the band achieved a high chart placement among the top 5 on MP3.com for the first time . Co-founder Thomas Sonnenburg left the band and was replaced by Thomas Seckler.

With the production of the mini CD A Dedication in 2001, Still it Cries made a name for itself in the German metal underground . Christoph Breddin and Matthias Breddin left the band. Robert Schulz joined as the new bass player .

In 2002 Matthias Kohlen joined the group as a "session player" (3rd guitar), but left again. Although Matthias Kohlen was involved in the creation of As You Drown in Tears at this time , he was never named in the album A Dedication .

In 2003 the band signed a record deal with Twilight / Distribution and then produced the debut album A Dedication . In 2004 the fan club "Twisted Thoughts" was founded.

After a few line-up changes, the band now consisted of Matthias Kupka (guitar, vocals), Robin Böhm (guitar), Lars Kappeler (bass) and Wassilios Simeonidis (drums).

In 2005 Still It Cries produced the follow-up album Take Leave . They played gigs with bands like Suidakra , Zeraphine , Agathodaimon and End of Green . Bandleader Matthias Kukpa joined the band Suidakra from 2004 to 2006, but remained active with Still It Cries. Lars Kappeler (bass) and Wassilios Simeonidis (drums) left the band; the latter was replaced by DanToKa.

2007 was devoted to songwriting for the upcoming album Alternative Dead End . In the same year Still It Cries played with bands like Graveworm , One Man Army and the Undead Quartet and Sub7even .

The new bass player was Dilan aka “The Incredible Ran”. In January 2008 Matthias joined the band Emergency Gate as lead singer.
