INFO:
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 the small label 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's fourth work "Another Golden Rage" was released in Europe (again through Massacre Records) on January, 24th and in April 2005 by Nightmare Records in USA (alongside "The Art Effect", which was 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 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).

In early 2008 LANFEAR signed a new deal with Locomotive Records and the fifth record "X to the Power of Ten" was released in Europe on August, 22nd and North America on September, 9th, 2008. The story continues...
