In 2010 the band had a radical change in the line-up, with only Mike staying from the previous one.
The lineup is as follows:
Mike Lunacy - Vocals
Daniele Galassi - Lead and Rythm guitar
Jacopo Rossi - Bass
Alessandro Vagnoni - Drums
The band was founded in 1997 by singer Mike Lunacy and guitarist Enomys. It was not until 1999, with the addition of drummer Baijkal and bassist Harpad, that the band became complete and released their first official album, Devoid, the following year. While earlier releases were on Metal Blade, the band is currently associated with the label Self Distribuzione. In 2001 bassist Harpad left and was replaced by Imer. In 2003 the band released their second official album, Forget Me Not. In June 2006 Baijkal and Imer left the band for personal reasons, but not before the release of The Diarist. Mary Ann and Mathias entered the band in August 2006; in the Autumn of 2007, Baijkal and Imer returned and Mathias left the band, and Mary Ann went from playing bass to second guitar. In 2009, Enomys left the band due to personal reasons. Simon joined the band officially soon after at the guitar to replace him.
In 2010 the band had a radical change in the line-up, with Mike staying as the only original member from Dark Lunacy.
With this renewed line-up the band recorded in 2012 a live DVD in Mexico City and in the same year it undertook a successful tour in Russia. After the release of the DVD, the band suffered once again the changing of other musicians. Marchini and Cinquegrana left and the band becomes a quartet again, with the addition of Jacopo Rossi on bass. With this personnel Dark Lunacy gave life to the fifth full-length album titled The Day Of Victory, a record that is linked thematically to the events of the Russian Second World War.

Aurora
Dark Lunacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're sailing to go home
War's coming, war's taking
Alone across the Baltic haze
Nobody loses hope
But we were feeling forgotten
Just breathing our death
Across the sea, you lead us
and ease the fears
Kutznetzov, the preacher
No light behind his back
The voice is trembling, no hiding
The end is moving fast
Tallin, fallen
We are leaning all behind
Remember those boatmen
The ghost-men chant, from Volga
Lost in the shadow
When pride is going to die
Inside an ancient rhyme
Ghosts from the Volga's tale
Lonely, the memories are lost
A pathway to nowhere
Stranded, the livid of my soul
Stranded, is claiming all my life
Fate, you take me down, into your dome
Straight into your great decay
Straight into your great mistake
From the boatmen, from the Volga's cry
Step by step and a step again
Fear is my great surrender
The ghost-man chant, from Volga, lost in the shadow
Ghosts from the Volga's tale
When pride is going to die inside an ancient rhyme
Ghosts of the boatmen.
The lyrics to Aurora by Dark Lunacy are quite cryptic and open to interpretation, but it seems to tell a story about a group of people sailing home amidst an impending war. The setting is the Baltic sea, and Tallin, a city in Estonia, has fallen. Despite this, the group remains hopeful and led by someone who eases their fears. However, there is a preacher named Kutznetzov who doesn't bring any light with him and has a trembling voice that suggests the end is near. The chorus repeats the phrase "Ghosts from the Volga's tale," indicating that the group may be haunted by the tragic past of the traditional Russian folk song.
The second verse describes the feeling of loneliness and being forgotten, leading to a sense of being stranded and claiming one's life. Fate is personified as something that takes the singer down into its "great decay" and "great mistake." The final part of the song repeats the chorus, emphasizing the haunting presence of ghosts from the Volga's tale and the sense of surrender to fear.
Overall, Aurora is a melancholic and foreboding song that touches on themes of war, death, and the constant presence of ghosts from the past. The use of the Baltic and Volga regions as settings adds a sense of history and cultural heritage to the lyrics.

Эквиритмический перевод песни “Aurora” итальянской группы Dark Lunacy с альбома «The Diarist» (2006).
Альбом «The Diarist» («Дневникописец» 2006) посвящён героической обороне Ленинграда 1941-1944 годов. Песня «Аврора», открывающая альбом, слабо связана с темой блокады. Кроме того, в ней есть несколько исторических несоответствий. Крейсер с 1935 года не мог самостоятельно передвигаться, и следовательно, участвовать в обороне Таллина. Он стоял в Ораниенбауме и осуществлял противовоздушную оборону Кронштадта. Часть вооружения с него было снято на берег, так же как и большая часть экипажа (см. фото). Никакого «проповедника Кузнецова» на нём быть не могло. Возможно, автор не знал, как описать должность комиссара или другого партработника. Реальный командир судна капитан 3-го ранга И. А. Саков, в сентябре 1941 года, когда «Аврора», получив несколько пробоин после обстрела с берега и с воздуха, села на грунт, перевёл моряков на берег, был обвинён в «паникёрстве» и расстрелян. Звучащая фоном бурлацкая песня «Дубинушка» в исполнении Хора Красной армии им. Александрова, как и другие русские песни с этого альбома, тоже имеет слабое отношение к теме. Видимо, автор под словом «boatmen» понимает древних лодочных гребцов, типа галерных.
АВРОРА
(перевод Евгения Соловьева)
(Эй, ухнем. Эй, ухнем. Ещё разик, ещё раз)
Таллин свален,
И мы плывём домой.
Войной мы ведомы.
Одни во тьме, в балтийской мгле,
Надежду сохранив.
Но как будто забыты,
Вдыхаем нашу смерть.
Через моря
Ведёшь нас,
И страх угас.
Заслонил спиной свет
Проповедник Кузнецов.
Хоть дрожь не прячет, не плачет
Пред будущим концом.
Таллин свален.
Опора в прошлом нам.
Про бурлаков вспомним.
Песнь призраков на Волге,
Покрытых мраком.
Настиг гордость смертный миг.
Не стих в душе тот стих,
Призраков волжских сказ.
(Эй, ухнем. Эй, ухнем. Ещё разик, ещё раз)
Память утеряна, одни.
Ведёт в никуда путь.
На мель легла моя душа
Та мель уносит мою жизнь.
Злой влеком судьбой
Под купол твой.
В твой котёл большой
Гнилья.
В твой обман большой
Вплыл я.
(Ай-да, да ай-да, ай-да, да ай-да)
Где бурлацкий,
Где их волжский плач.
Шаг и шаг, и ещё один.
Страх — моё поражение.
Песнь призраков на Волге,
Покрытых мраком.
Призраков волжских сказ.
(Ай-да, да ай-да, ай-да, да ай-да)
Настиг гордость смертный миг.
Не стих в душе тот стих.
Бурлаков призрак.
