LANFEAR were founded in 1993. They recorded a selftitled demo and released their debut "Towers" by themselves. Urwerk Records re-released the album with a different cover artwork in 1997. The more progressive second work "Zero Poems" saw the light of day in 1999 and was released by Famous Kitchen. The public interest about LANFEAR grew rapidly and today many people consider "Zero Poems" as a Prog Metal classic.
After a line up change the third and more powerful LANFEAR album "The Art Effect" was recorded in Dreamscape studios, Munich, and was released in Europe by Massacre records (March 2003). The reactions from press and fans were fantastic, “The Art Effect†received great reviews, achieved top rankings in some of the greatest metal magazines and sold very good.
LANFEAR played many gigs and festivals in 2003 and 2004 and also started songwriting for their next album. In September 2004 they took the offer from INTROMENTAL management, Denmark, and decided to cooperate, just to do the next step on the ladder and to reach an even larger audience.
Studio recordings for the fourth album "Another Golden Rage" took place in October/November 2004 in Dreamscape studios. The release date for Europe (through Massacre Records) was January 24th 2005, and was released in April by Nightmare Records in USA (alongside "The Art Effect", which will finally be officially out in USA). The reactions again were incredible!
In April/May of the same year LANFEAR supported Morgana Lefay on their European tour to promote the album - responses were great!
In early 2006 the band went through a change in line-up, as LANFEAR parted ways with Tobias and found a new vocalist in Nuno Miguel de Barros Fernandes (known from the power/prog metal band Anguish). Nuno Fernandez convinces with his supremely variable voice and the necessary grasp for haunting melodies.
Meanwhile LANFEAR work on their fifth album. The new tracks sound even more elaborated but also very organic and as always LANFEAR will come up with some surprises...be prepared!
