Diary

A diary (sometimes referred to as journal or notebook) is a record (originally in handwritten format) with discrete entries arranged by date reporting on what has happened over the course of a day or other period. A personal diary may include a person's experiences, and/or thoughts or feelings, including comment on current events outside the writer's direct experience. Someone who keeps a diary is known as a diarist. Diaries undertaken for institutional purposes play a role in many aspects of human civilization, including government records (e.g., Hansard), business ledgers and military records. In British English, the word may also denote a preprinted journal format.

Today the term is generally employed for personal diaries, normally intended to remain private or to have a limited circulation amongst friends or relatives. The word "journal" may be sometimes used for "diary," but generally a diary has (or intends to have) daily entries, whereas journal-writing can be less frequent.

Although a diary may provide information for a memoir, autobiography or biography, it is generally written not with the intention of being published as it stands, but for the author's own use. In recent years, however, there is internal evidence in some diaries (e.g., those of Ned Rorem, Alan Clark, Tony Benn or Simon Gray) that they are written with eventual publication in mind, with the intention of self-vindication (pre- or posthumous) or simply for profit.

The Diarist is the third official album released by Italian melodic death metal band Dark Lunacy.

Track listing

Themes

The Diarist is a concept album dealing with the Siege of Leningrad, an event in World War II during which the city of Leningrad (St Petersburg) was blockaded from 1941 to 1944. The record uses the perspective of a woman who writes on her diary a day-by-day account of life in the bombed, isolated city whose inhabitants die of cold and starve, and the Red Army soldiers, carry on a desperate resistance against the German enemy: it is to say that, actually, there is no political theme in The Diarist. The focus is on suffering, fear, hope and desperation:

Between myself and death there is my Leningrad ... Beat my heart, I know you're tired, make me feel we're still alive (Heart Of Leningrad)

Dark Lunacy

HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "albums" is not recognized

Dark Lunacy is an Italian melodic death metal band, often using a string quartet and Red Army choirs.

From the anonymity to Devoid

The band formed in early 1997 when singer Mike and guitarist Enomys first met. Their first self produced EP titled Silent Storm (1998) achieved a remarkable consensus. Line-up was completed by the arrival of Baijkal (drums) and Harpad (bass) and in the spring of 1999, the band released a demotape called Serenity, consisting of 4 tracks in which the support of a real string quartet marked the future sound of Dark Lunacy. In 2000 the band signed for Fuel/Self label publishing its first official album called Devoid, released in November of the same year. The band had an impressive critical acclaim and, thanks to the singles "Dolls" and "Forlorn", Dark Lunacy entered the playlists of many. On March 2001 the band started the first Italian tour and ended on May 12 at the Rolling Stone in Milan.
