Unlucky Morpheus was formed in 2008 by Fuki (vocals) and Shiren (guitar) after having met the year prior.[3] On October 3, 2008, the band released their first mini-album, Hypothetical Box, an arrangement album of compositions from the Touhou Project series, at the dōjin event "M3" on a home made CD-R.[4]
The band released their first professionally pressed CD, REBIRTH, at the dōjin event "Hakurei Jinja Reitaisai" on March 8, 2009. Later that year on October 12 they played their first live show at Tamachi CUBE (Japanese: 田町CUBE).[5]
On January 6, 2011, they performed their final show of the "Fuyu no Mikaku no Tabearuki 2010→2011" tour at Shibuya O-EAST. This show was recorded and released as their first live album Fuyumika Tabearuki Final ~Lunatic East~ LIVE (Japanese: ふゆみか食べ歩きファイナル ～Lunatic East～ LIVE) on both CD and DVD on 2011-05-08.[6]
On August 16, 2014, the band released the album affected, their first to consist entirely of original compositions.
The band released their first music video, "Black Pentagram", on April 9, 2017, on YouTube to promote their EP of the same name released on December 29, 2016.[7]
On September 19, 2018, the band released the album CHANGE OF GENERATION, their first release to chart, peaking at 26 on the Oricon charts.[8]
The sub-unit, "QUADRATUM From Unlucky Morpheus" (composed of Jinya, Jill, Hiroyuki Ogawa and FUMIYA), released their first album, Loud Playing Workshop on January 27, 2021. It featured covers of popular heavy metal songs, including a violin cover of Van Halen's "Eruption".[9]
