Historica project was born in the late summer of 2009. The idea came at Danielle (vocals, ex Gotland and Aevum) and Danilo (guitars, ex Extinction and Molek), trying to create a nice mix of thrash/death metal with historical lyrics.

Historica line-up becomes finally complete during october of the same year, with the arrival of Muttley (bass, ex Curmisagios) and Phil (drums, from Ural).

During february 2010, Phil leaves the band, being replaced by the drummer Pif (from F.I.S.T.).

In the late winter of 2010, Muttley and Pif leave the band. The drummer Berru (from Rotten) and the bass player Dax (from Rotten) took their place, giving to Historica the possibility to continue their musical work and to play with well - known italian bands.

In June 2011, the first EP “Historia Magistra Vitae” is released, recorded and mixed at Tortonia Studio by Alessandro Tortone. The six tracks contain many references to some of the most important historical events of European past, including Grave Digger’s cover “Rebellion (The Clans Are Marching)”.

This EP represents for Historica the chance to reach a bigger public and, why not, a deal with a label.
