Lunatic Asylum is like hi-industrialize metal laboratory - project based on hard-riffing, digitally processed guitars with a huge bit of electronic sounds and little gothic style. It can be called "Digital Metal-o-Industrial" (D.M.I.) as well as "Hard-Gore" (named by a few) or just "Hi-Lab Metal". L.A. was started by man named Kola in 2001 (his first records was made in 1999). Kola (bass, drums, guitars, synthesizers, and somewhere vocals - core member in a band - if not the whole band) asked his friend about joining the Lunatic Asylum and after about two weeks to Lunatic Asylum joined guy named AshraM (helpfull hand with recording and sampling). Together they created a sound which you can hear on first two albums and EPs. During recording Lunatic Asylum's first EP and album Kola started a small colaboration with old-time colleague named Loop. Loop decided to sing in "Requiem For Dying Angels" as a guest on first EP. After recording "Requiem For Dying Angels" Kola decided to record first, full-lenght album alone. After two years he ends "Neo-Messiah" and automaticly starts making second album - "The War Has Be-Gun". During recording second album another colaboration took it's place but it didn't give any good results - again Kola mades everything alone. After finishing "The War Has Be-Gun" Lunatic Asylum made a small EP called "N.E.W.O." - that's the last record in old style which was created by Kola and Ashram. At the end of 2005 L.A. released another EP - "DAMONs". Now new era is about to begin.
