Magica

Magica started in February 2002 as the solo project of Bogdan ‘Bat’ Costea, guitarist (at that time) of Interitus Dei. The reason for starting this band was Bat’s desire to play the music that he likes: heavy metal & melodic rock.

The first line-up consisted of: Ana Mladinovici - vocals (also a member of Interitus Dei at that time ), Bogdan ‘Bat’ Costea - guitar and Valentin ‘IngerAlb’ Zechiu - bass guitar (ex-Web, and also the man behind the projects Inger de Fier & Telurica).

The recordings for the 1st album started in spring 2002. 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. The album, entitled “The Scroll Of Stone”, tells the story of princess Alma - tricked by a demon, she loses her soul, and so her quest begins… she has to find the scroll of stone, the only thing powerful enough to break the demon’s spell.
