Lanfear were founded by the end of 1993. They released their debut album "Towers" in 1996 by themselves. Many record labels showed interest but unfortunately the band didn´t get many serious offers. So, the more progressive second work "Zero Poems" was recorded in 1999 which was published on the former producers label "Famous Kitchen". The consequence were many reviews and interviews. The public interest about Lanfear grew rapidly. By the end of 1999 "Zero Poems" finally got distributed by Point-Music and was sold more than 5000 times.
Singer and keyboarder Stefan Zoerner left the band because of personal reasons in early 2000. Luckily, Lanfear quite quickly found an excellent keyboarder called Richie Seibel (Charisma, Ivamhoe). The search for a good singer ought to be much harder than expected. Finally they found Tobias Althammer (Painful Faith), the right person for this job.
The third Lanfear CD "The Art Effect" has now been released under Massacre records. Compared with the previous productions, these tracks are more variable in rhythm, they sound very heavy with catchy tunes; therefore they are probably more relatable to Power Metal without falling into the usual kinds of stereotypes.
