About Me



Fan made video for Magica - Wolves and witches (not official)
Magica - Entangled (second video for the "Hereafter" album )
Already having released two albums in several parts of the world, now ”Hereafter” is the breakthrough for young Romanian band MAGICA – in many ways. Inking a worldwide record deal with AFM Records now, the door is open to a very successful future. MAGICA have already found their own sound and know exactly what they do. Call it Symphonic-, Power,- Gothic- or Melodic Metal: fans of Nightwish, Edenbridge and After Forever will find another favourite band in MAGICA. Singer Ana Mladinovici had enjoyed a classical singer..s education for over 5 years and worked with the “Marea Neagra” philharmonic orchestra. MAGICA..s success especially in Romania, South America and France kept insiders in the rest of Europe talking for quite some time now about the new rising star from Romania. Now it..s time to disclose the secret of MAGICA for the whole world. The band..s name doesn..t promise too much. They will give you magical moments and enmesh you with heartblood-staining, poetic, enchanting and simply wonderful songs. Let the journey begin…”Hereafter”…Founded in 2002 by guitarist Bodan Costea MAGICA shortly after recorded their debut album “The Scroll Of Stone”. After two months of hard work this concept album was ready to be released. Despite the lack of promotion the album got airplay on several big radio stations and also the print magazines showed huge interest in the band. Voted by readers of the “Heavy Metal Magazine” as “best newcomer of the year 2002” the band did not remain hidden from the international scene. The results were contract offers that also covered the French and South American territories, starting with “Lightseeker”, MAGICA..s second album from 2004. Then “Bittersweet Nightshade” became the band..s first video clip and the year 2006 saw them touring with After Forever and Nightmare. Several concerts with Leaves.. Eyes, Vanden Plas and Apocalyptica followed. A new video clip for the song “All Waters Have The Colour Of Drowning” has been unleashed in May 2007 and now with their first wordwide release ”Hereafter” MAGICA..s way can only lead to the top!
