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.

Forgotten
Dark Lunacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On this cold day of march
Waves the yearning, are moving wild
Along the involved dirge of broken life
Broken life… beginning time.
My jailor.
Lying guardian of mi delay
But scythe is tear all certainties of the day
And love, for life is changed,
In endless deep remorse
Cause I can't tell "I love you" at my side.
All medal has it's dark reverse
And you know well, my only friend
I need a strong, to be beloved
Cause I want drive my suffering
Forgive me, my guiltness preys
Help me…pray for my sin
My weaver… forgive my soul
Forgive me like I am forgiving you
Eternal end… in endless nights
My closed eyes, slowly are see.
All medal has it's shine reverse
And you know good, my only friend
I need a strong, that you watch me
Cause I want know the really true.
Last face…last mask fallen
Are you evil? Or my awarness?
Are you evil or my remorse?
Reflect in mirror of my years
Jesus, show me please while I pray you
Look me wile I'm looking you
Please remember you, the kiss from silent moth.
The stroke of mortal pride
I'm damned, I'm damned, I'm damned
Please remember you The kiss from crying moth.
The stroke of mortal pride
Cause I'm evil masquerade.
The lyrics of Dark Lunacy's song "Forgotten" touch upon the theme of loss and the regret that comes with it. The first line "Rise the harshness light" suggests a bleak beginning and sets the tone for the somber melody that follows. The lyric "My jailor. Lying guardian of mi delay" could be interpreted as a reference to the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind or heart, unable to move forward from a past mistake.
The song goes on to expound upon the misery of guilt and the regret that comes with lost love. The lyric "All medal has it's dark reverse" denotes the idea that even good things have a darker side, a truth that the singer seems all too aware of. The lyrics "Forgive me like I am forgiving you" could mean that the singer is trying to move past the pain of someone else's transgressions, to forgive them and be forgiven themselves.
The final lines, "Please remember you The kiss from crying moth. The stroke of mortal pride/Cause I'm evil masquerade" may suggest that the singer is asking someone to remember them as they were, before they became consumed by their own sadness and regret. The theme of a "mask" or "masquerade" may indicate a sense of hiding or pretending to the outside world, while hurting inside. Overall, "Forgotten" showcases the pain of lost love and how it can lead to deep regret, guilt, and a longing for forgiveness.
