They have released almost ten albums, the most recent being Lines of Nasca, and gone through a number of line-up changes, with vocalist/guitarist Alonso Herrera and bassist Alejandro Jarrín being the sole constant members.
[4][5][6] The project was envisioned by the group's first drummer, Efrain Rosas, who invited vocalist/guitarist Alonso Herrera (whom he met in the same university in Lima) and introduced him to bassist Alejandro Jarrín.
[11] In march of that year, they were the opening act for Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica in the Peruvian leg of their Pariah's Child tour.
[14] After releasing the album in August 2016 via the Mexican label Azafrán Media,[3] they performed at Rock and Heavy 2 in December, alongside Joe Lynn Turner, Skull Fist, Krisiun, Edu Falaschi, Mike Vescera, Mean Street and Fornix.
[15] Later that year, in November, they released their ninth album Eclipse,[17] produced by Roy Z,[15][18] who also performed a guitar solo in their cover of "Locomotive Breath" (originally by Jethro Tull).
[7] He also admits that the band's sound has changed "a lot" over the years and considers their fourth album Imperio de Cristal as the one which established them as a progressive folk metal act.
[7] In a 2017 interview, Jarrín admitted it is difficult to categorize the band with one genre only, but defined Flor de Loto as "fusion progressive hard rock".
[3] Herrera said he grew up listening to Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Helloween and Celtic metal bands such as Mägo de Oz, but he didn't feel like imitating them, opting instead for trying to integrate such influences with the member's own roots.
