The band's history
begins 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, three of us, Fabiano Angelo
and Christian, decided to leave the band because of
music disagreements, causing the following breaking
up of it. We decided to dedicate ourselves to another
project, characterized of a new death-metal taste,
abandoning the melodic vein peculiarity of the previous
Hollowearth period.
During the spring we started to compose the songs
of our debut-promo entitled "Evolution plan.txt"
with the monicker Lunarsea, Made up of 4 songs, recorded
during the summer in the Music Farm Studio of Fabiano
and finished in the early October 2003.
After the launching to webzines, record companies
and so on, and after finding a general approval of
our work, we realized that this band could mean something
new in the underground movement of melodic death metal,
but we needed to personalize more our sound to make
Lunarsea really unique.
Thus we dedicated ourselves to the composition of
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,
we birth the second promo entitled "Bio Ashes
Halo", made up of 4 songs and a cover by Police.
The Lunarsea members are well-known faces in the music
scene since a decade:
FABIANO ROMAGNOLI - Guitar-master who have already
realized an instrumental album entitled "Filmelody"
(Art of Melody site).
CRISTIAN ANTOLINI - Long experience with local cover
bands in the underground scene.
ANGELO MUSMECI - Our frontman and singer of Halfmoon
and former singer of Toxicmachine.
CLAUDIO TESTINI - The new drummer.
A new cycle has begun and we hope to obtain even
more of our new effort. A new wave of melodic death-metal
has begun. We hope to satisfy rough death-metal lovers
and the romantic ones!
