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.

Sons of the Wind
Lunatica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As fast as an arrow up to the clouds, into the sky
Man and machine are becoming one
A perfect day for changing the face of the world
Go for glory, for hope and for God
They break the clouds, reach for the sky
Like hunters in an ancient story
Become a hero, pay the price
The need for speed is overwhelming your heart
The harvest of honour has begun
Live for the moment, leave all your worries behind
The song "Sons of the Wind" by Lunatica is an anthem to bravery, taking risks, and embracing change. The first line, "Control the power, leave the ground," invites the listener to imagine themselves as a pilot of a powerful aircraft, ready to take on the world. The lyrics "As fast as an arrow up to the clouds, into the sky" further emphasizes the idea of unbridled speed and boundless freedom that comes with soaring through the sky. The next line, "Man and machine are becoming one," is almost an affirmation to the listener that they don't need to be held back by their own limitations, and that the joining of human willpower with technological innovation can achieve great things.
The chorus of the song underscores the theme of the bravery of pilots, comparing them to hunters in an ancient story, ready to take on the unknown and come out victorious. The lyrics "Go for glory, for hope and for God" further highlight the selflessness and courage that is required to take on this role. The song reminds the listener that there is a price to pay for becoming a hero, but living for the moment, disregarding one's worries, and embracing the harvest of honor are worth the risk.
