Less orchestral than the previous album, 'The Diarist' reached a higher technical-songwriting level, combining powerful and sharp guitar riffs with melodies full of pathos, anger and solemnity.

In 2006, Dark Lunacy touched the pinnacle of its career with the third studio album, entitled 'The Diarist', a concept album that deals with the 900-days siege of Leningrad during World War II. Since 2003, the band has been often featured in events abroad, especially in Mexico and Russia, where the fan base has now become very consistent. Live activity had a huge boost and Dark Lunacy played several gigs with foreign bands and took part in major Italian festivals (like Gods Of Metal and Evolution Fest). Between 20, the band went through a real golden age. In May 2003, the second full-length 'Forget - Me - Not', reached a perfect blend: melodic parts (driven by a more evident string quartet) mixed with a much more aggressive attitude. 'Devoid' met great success and, driven by the two hits Forlorn and Dolls, Dark Lunacy became well-known and followed on a larger scale, easily achieving a contract for the following album. In 2000, the band signed a contract with Fuel Records and in September it released its first official full length album: 'Devoid'. In the spring of 1999, the band released another 4-track demo entitled 'Serenity', in which the use of a real string quartet forged one of the essential pillars in the sound of Dark Lunacy. A year later, the band recorded the EP 'Silent Storm', a self-production that was swiftly heard and appreciated in the underground music scene.
