A powerful record label can ram the worst boring album down your throat for months while extraordinaire bands are flying under the radar of both professionals and fans alike. Dark Lunacy’s career is a perfect illustration of that. I am not even sure those guys are still around but that would be a tragic end to one of Italy’s finest combos. Let’s go back to the year 2006, which brought us Dark Lunacy’s third full-length offering The Diarist, following the excellent Forget Me Not and Devoid .

In my humble opinion, one of the best melodeath albums ever recorded. It has not a single weak song, the melodies are catchy and the songs are diverse enough not to tire the listener out. The only weakness of this album to me seems to be the English of the lyrics.

Awesome album! I mean, wherelse can you find pounding but clever and ambitious Melo-Death including a string quartet and a Cossack choir?
I really like the concept of this album (dealing with the war-time 1941-1945 but from the Russian perspective) and the songs "Aurora", "Motherland", "Play Dead" and "The Farewell Song" are the highlights of this memorable release.
