The foundations were placed by Alex Seiberl and Sandro D'Incau but couldn't find a lead singer for the band. After a long search for a lead singer, the band found Andrea in 2001. She became the lead vocalist and their debut album, "Atlantis", was released later in the same year.
"Atlantis" was very successful and Lunatica were booked for many concerts and festivals. Playing at Metaldayz festival (the biggest metal open air festival in Switzerland), Lunatica was elected "best newcomer band" and gained a lot of new fans.
For the second album, "Fables & Dreams", the band worked together with successful producer Sascha Paeth, known for productions of Rhapsody, Kamelot, Angra, After Forever, Edguy, and Heavens Gate. Sascha Paeth created the powerful production Lunatica desired. The songs were developed better and the band had more time to compose and arrange them.
"Fables & Dreams" was released on February 16, 2004 in Switzerland and climbed directly to place 13 of the Swiss Internet Charts. This continued to be a success over that year.
Lunatica released their third studio album, "The Edge Of Infinity", in August 2006.
Their fourth album "New Shores" was release on February 27, 2009.

Lunatica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Place of my childhood, core of my memory
Avalon- beloved sisters, waiting for me
Forget all my sins, renew virginity
[Chorus]
Awaiting the sunset on this lonely shore
Home, a strange word in my mouth
To reach my motherland in the dawn, Avalon!
Avalon- faith of a kingdom, changed by my hand
A traitor's love I was, unleashing the storm
Avalon- welcome your daughter, swallow my guilt
I'll find absolution and fight back my tears
The lyrics to Lunatica's song "Avalon" speaks of a mystical and enchanted island which holds a special place in the heart and memory of the singer. It is a place of childhood with beloved sisters who await her arrival. The island has the power to forget all sins and renew virginity. The singer is nostalgic and longs to return to this magical place.
The chorus speaks of the singer waiting for the sunset on a lonely shore, longing to be back home. She calls for the winds to guide her through the veiling mists which surround the island, so she can reach her motherland at dawn. The island of Avalon is seen as a place of sanctuary, a source of comfort and familiarity amidst the chaos of the changing world.
The second verse speaks of the singer's guilt for being a traitor and causing the storm. She seeks absolution and welcomes her daughter with the hope that she can fight back her tears. The song touches on themes of nostalgia, guilt, redemption, and hope.
