In the beginning of 1995, Sergio Sanchez (drums), Gustavo Di Padua (guitar and vocals) and Criss Moura (guitar) quit their old band called Shout to start a new musical journey. They found Endless. The band begins to make several gigs in its city, Rio de Janeiro. At this time Gustavo was singing and playing guitar. Endless starts to get many fans with its beatiful and inspired songs. One of this fans was a great bassplayer called Rey Araujo. He starts to rehearsal with the band. At the same time, Gustavo felt that singing and playing at the same time was getting too hard to handle. He could do better by focusing only on the guitar. Endless was in need of a frontman to enhance its songs. In the end of the same year, the singer Vitor Veiga is called by Gustavo to take the role of the frontman. In 1996, Endless records a demo tape called "Dreams". This demo calls the midia atention despite this poor sound quality. Three songs were recorded: Lines of the time, Forbbiden Desist and Land of my eyes. In the next year, the band feels the necessity of a keyboard to expand its music and Marcio Brito takes the place starting a new Endless' era. In 1998 July, by wining a musical contest, Endless gets the opportunity to record its first single cd. This work was called "Violent Sky" and the band gets the attention of the midia again with other three songs: Eternal Winds, Keep your ways and Minstrels of Dawn. All this attention results on the record sessions of the album Eternal Winds on 2000 August by the label Megahard Records.

But Gustavo was out the band by personal problems. Flavio Legala take the place of Gustavo but he left the band soon after a gig on the city of Sorocaba, Brasil. Leo Monteiro takes the Endless' guitars together with Criss Moura. Rey Araujo is replaced by Felipe Ximenes, a personal friend of Leo Monteiro in October 2002. The album is very searched by the metal fans of Brazil and other countries like Holland, Portugal, Italy and Germany. Between June 2000 and July 2002, Endless makes two great gigs with Primal Fear (2000) and Angra (2002) in Rio de Janeiro. But some internal problems would cause the dissolution of the band in 2002. Marcio Brito is the first member to leave the band and is replaced by Felipe Avilis in 2001. Felipe Avilis quit the band in April 2002 leaving the place to Rodrigo Carriee. Criss Moura is replaced by Gustavo Di Padua, who returns to the band in 2001. Before it occurs, Gustavo was working on a new project with Vitor and Sergio called Illusions. Endless is over in July 2002 when Sergio Sanches leaves the band. The singer Vitor Veiga becomes a member of Aquaria and releases the album Luxaeterna in 2005 at the same time that he carries his old project out. Illusions was consisted by the rest of Endless' members: Vitor Veiga, Gustavo, Rodrigo Carriee, Leo Monteiro and Felipe Ximenes. Leo Monteiro quits Endless in 2003 by some personal problems and disagreements with the rest of the band.
