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.

The Chosen Ones
Lunatica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Struggling to escape from here, but trying in vain
A group of the bravest men, born to change this plight
Awaited but not expected, they came to turn things right
They are the chosen ones, oh can't you see
Born to bring the light and end the misery
Freedom to the land shall come, and no more slavery
They are the chosen ones, oh can't you see
Born to bring the light and end the misery
Seasons are changing, so is mankind
Feelings unbound, setting free our minds
What does mankind want? What do they need?
We all want somebody to trust in.
Someone to follow who lead us in hard times,
who makes us believe in our strength, in ourselves.
They are the chosen ones, oh can't you see
Born to bring the light and end the misery
The chosen ones in Lunatica's song are a group of individuals who are born to change what seems to be an unending cycle of fear, loss, pain, and slavery. The lyrics paint a picture of a group of courageous people who are waiting in anticipation for the chosen ones to come and turn things around. This group of brave men is expected to bring the light and end the darkness of misery that their people have been living in. Their arrival is much anticipated and serves as a beacon of hope for their community.
The song's message is about hope, believing in oneself, and the power of change. It highlights how the impact of a few people can change everything for a community. It also sheds light on the importance of leadership, trust, and following people who believe and can lead us through the hard times. The song's change in season and feelings unbound references the renewed sense of vitality and energy that follows once the chosen ones arrive.
