WindSeeker were born on November 1998, after Daylight split up, whose two members were Alessandro Di Clemente (guitar) and Luca Magarò (bass). Luca got in touch with a drummer, and proposed him to play classic power metal. Alessandro set himself as a guitarist. The drummer refused, for he was busy with other tasks. By then Alessandro, excited at the idea, started to search for the other members.
In the meantime he started to write with Luca a science-fiction concept. After having found the vocalist and the drummer, respectively Mauro Gelsomini and Milko Morelli, they were finally able to enter in studio to play together on 17 February 1999. WindSeeker needed another guitar player, and they found him in Marco Berlenghini, who joined them in early summer 2000. A keyboard player, Shawn Landersz, joined WindSeeker too, but he stayed just for a few weeks, due to his personal problems. In the same period Luca left WindSeeker and was replaced with Alessandro Angelo.
The band grew with this formation and performed many live shows, with a satisfactory reply by spectators, but musical disagreements were stronger and stronger, so much that they induced Mauro Gelsomini and Alessandro Di Clemente to find a radical solution. Milko left the band and Andrea Pro, from Sudden Death (a roman brutal band), joined WindSeeker as the new drummer.
His many engagements didn't allow him to work with the band full time. Finally Simone "El Capitan" Fracassa, actual WindSeeker drummer and old friend, joined them in March 2001. With this line-up WindSeeker played live in some festival, such as PostMortem Festival and Metal Open Air Festival in Rome. Unfortunately line-up's problems were not going to end: Marco Berlenghini, for some personal problems, decided to leave the band in October 2001.
WindSeeker continued their work, rearranging their songs in order to be played just by one guitar and oriented their music towards a new power-thrash sound. However they started a long and difficult search for another guitarist. After many unhappy attempts finally Simone Lanna joined the band in February 2002. WindSeeker worked hardly to be ready for their first demo, recorded at Temple Of Noise Studios in Rome, and to perform on some live shows.
