IMAGICA is Ukrainian – Portuguese Cinematic Arena Dance Metal band | art project, founded by Ukrainian professional film director, musician and songwriter Victor Maslyaev and Portuguese composer and guitar player David Uricchio. The project is conceived as a combination of music and film making, where every track is an individual story line in the format of a short film telling a story in its unique and cinematic way aimed for live shows with strong imagery and visual base. IMAGICA’s songs combine different styles of metal with the elements of EDM, pop punk, and industrial with catchy choruses, killer riffs, and massive
film score inserts. Sheer individual plot line lyrics hook you immediately.
The band got together when Vic moved to Portugal with his family and started looking for a
rehearsal studio and guitar coach. After meeting David, Vic showed him some of the demos
and he immediately decided to join the band. After that guys spent one year playing, defining
the style, sound and sharing influences, before starting to record the first singles, which
later formed the band’s first
EP ‘Number One’.
