Dark Diary is his third album under the banner of AFM Records for the Romanian band Magica and the fifth on the total score. Led by female vocals the band takes the speed up and fires away fast and catchy songs. The lead guitar catches the attention when the album opens with Anywhere But Home. The intro of the song pretty long, but daring and catchy. When the vocals come in the music stays in the same speed, but the fast lead guitar fades. The vocals follow a kind of ‘pop’ structure, which makes it very catchy and melodic, flowing along with the music.

But the band doesn’t only speak speed, is also gives more calm and emotional songs, which can be found in the following song Tonight and the song Need. But even then the band has a powerful feel within the songs, giving it extra power. There are many elements within the songs that can be led back to the ‘80’s rock and metal. For example the intro of On The Side Of Evil. The chorus in the song has powerful backing vocals and will be a very good live part. The same thing can be found in the closing song We Are Horde. The album closes officially with Dear Diary, but the real powerful ending comes from We Are Horde, where Dear Diary is just a anti-climax.

Magica gives with Dark Diary a diverse album on his way. All songs carry the same amount of energy and contain catchy parts. The guitar and vocals determine the melodies of the songs with support of the keyboard and of course this couldn’t exist without a good solid base of drums and bass. Strong, powerful, catchy and solid, just a few words to conclude the review. When you hear these words you should think about Magica, Dark Diary!

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.
