The band´s history began in 2003 during the recording sessions of the first promo of HOLLOWEARTH, a power prog band made up of Angelo Musmeci, Fabiano Romagnoli, Cristian Antolini, Ivan Nastasi, Stuart Franzoni.
Just before debuting, Fabiano, Angelo and Cristian decided to leave the band because of music disagreements, causing the following split. Fabiano, Angelo and Cristian decided to dedicate themselves to another project, characterized by a new death-metal taste, abandoning the melodic vein, peculiarity of the previous Hollowearth period.
During the spring they started to compose the songs of their debut-promo entitled "EVOLUTION PLAN.TXT" with the monicker Lunarsea, made up of 4 songs, recorded during the same year summer at the Music Farm Studio of Fabiano and finished early October 2003.
After the launching to webzines, record companies and so on, and after finding a general approval of the work, Lunarsea realized that the band could mean something new in the underground movement of melodic death metal, but they needed to personalize more their sound to make Lunarsea really unique.
Thus Lunarsea dedicated to composing new songs, trying new different harmonic structures, made up of melodic Death-metal core, and blast beat parts combined with clean vocals, and some progressive-synth elements. Following this new conception of style, Lunarsea gave birth to their second promo entitled "BIO ASHESH HALO", containing 4 songs and a Police cover.
After one year, Lunarsea got in touch with Burning Star Records, a greek label that offered them a contract for the release of our debut album. So, after some months spent in re-record the previous promos and a couple of new songs, on April 2006 the band released "HYDRODYNAMIC WAVE" worldwide through different distributors.
Lunarsea headed to Athens for a Promotiomal Tour, where they were interviewed by locals magazines and radios and they also got the opportunity to make a Pre-listening party in the famous TEXAS CLUB.
Burning Star Records helped Lunarsea to spread theri music all over the world with a good distribution in countries of the like of U.S.A and JAPAN and many good reviews were published on web-zines and magazines.
That was the time for Lunarsea to shoot their first video ever, from the song BESIDE THE DRIVER, directed by Federico Ferrari.
After the Release of HYDRODYNAMIC WAVE, Lunarsea started their Live activity and got the oppurtunities to play in Festival like the Italian GODS OF METAL(edition 2007) or the Greek METAL HEALING FESTIVAL that took place in Xanthi on 21 july 2007. Lunarsea also played a couple of gigs outside Italy: in BUDAPEST(Hungary) on November 2006 or at BURNING STAR FESTIVAL at Underworld club in ATHENS (Greece) on February 2007.
In early 2008 Lunarsea signed with the Italian label PUNISHMENT 18 RECORDS for the release of their second album called “ROUTE CODE SELECTOR” out on November 4 2008.
