Magica started in February 2002 as a project of Bogdan Costea, directly with the recordings for the 1st album "The Scroll of Stone" (having more of a demo purpose). After 2 months of intense work, the material was ready! 12 power melodic heavy metal songs, in the vein of Rhapsody, Nightwish, and Helloween, which show the high potential of the band. After the songs were ready Bogdan recruited the members of the band.
The second album, "Lightseeker", has been launched in October 2004 in France through Underclass Music .
Magica's first video, "Bittersweet Nightshade", was ready on February 10, 2005. Magica has been featured in the famous "Metallian" and "Rock Hard Magazine".
In 2006 the band had the pleasure of touring Europe opening for After Forever and Nightmare, Apocalyptica and Leaves Eyes .

The third album is called Hereafter and was recorded in the autumn of 2006 but due to label change, it was released at 19 October 2007 via AFM Records Germany. 2 videos were shot for this album, " All waters have the colour of drowning" and "Entangled".
In November 2007 Ana was invited to take part in the huge Hellish Rock tour alongside Helloween, Gamma Ray and Axxis for 3 months of intense touring . It was a unforgetable experience. Check out the tourreport.

2008 was the year of the "Wolves and witches" album.
2010 brings a brand new studio work, intitled "Dark Diary" . A lot more production efforts are thrown into this release and the band can't wait to go on the road and play the songs live.


The band is currently in search of a serious booking agency.
