Description:
Benjamin König and Whyrhd formed Lunar Aurora in December 1994.
The band had been on hiatus from 2006 through 2011 for various personal reasons. The band eventually split up in 2012.
Sindar is Aran's younger brother.
All the releases in 2004 had been recorded much earlier, but delayed heavily.
This was mainly caused by both of the labels the band had been working with at the time (Kettenhund Records and Ars Metalli) going down. After a short-lived and unpleasant deal with The Oath from Italy, Lunar Aurora ended up founding their own label Cold Dimensions, which was originally run by Whyrhd and later continued as a sub

After a short-lived and unpleasant deal with The Oath from Italy, Lunar Aurora ended up founding their own label Cold Dimensions, which was originally run by Whyrhd and later continued as a sub-label of Prophecy Productions.
Another interesting development in that period was all of the members switching their main instrumental duties: Aran from guitar to drums, Whyrhd from bass to guitar, and Sindar from keyboard to bass. Aran went back to guitar when drummer Profanatitas was found.
Split up in November 2012. The statement from the band's website says: "'it has always been clear that also LUNAR AURORA will end some day. And this autumn we felt that it is time to lay the band to rest. We came to that decision for various reasons, the two following may be the most significant. On one hand our imaginations of future musical projects are difficult to reconcile with LUNAR AURORA, on the other hand we feel that LUNAR AURORA is out of tune with these times. We have never been people that speechify, so we won't make a big deal out of that, either.".
