Dark Lunacy Celebrate 25 Years of Devoid

Dark Lunacy will mark the 25th Anniversary of their debut album Devoid with a double LP gatefold reissue on 21 February 2025 via Fuel Records/Self. The Italian dramatic Death Metal band have remastered the album and today released the official video for the track Dolls.

“Devoid, released in December 2000, represents the beginning of the whole Dark Lunacy story,” Frontman Mike Lunacy told us. “A 25-year journey which gave us a dream, especially on a human level, being one of our most important compositional steps.”

Notable in the reissue is the inclusion of the track From The Blacked Soul, taken from the first EP, The Silent Storm and Oblivion, a track from the original recording sessions for Devoid.  

Oblivion represents a missing piece, which, for particular reasons, is related to an emotional decision by Mike Lunacy and was not included in Devoid, even if it was conceived as an integral part of the musical and narrative journey.

“Each song is in constant balance between the audacity of the beginnings and the unscrupulousness of the ’20s,” Lunacy says, “but always with that modicum of maturity capable of calibrating the forces in the face of a project created not only to excite the performers but also to be a true record product.

“The result at the time went far beyond our expectations, and everything began from there. The beginning of a journey which has taken us to today and that we are very proud to present live again to share with the public and the emotions of that time that have never changed.”

Pre-orders are available from here. There are signed vinyl versions also. Check out DarkLunacy.com for more details.
