Imagika

Emerging from San Francisco, Imagika evoke the spirit of the mid-1980s Bay Area thrash metal explosion that birthed the genre's initial pioneers. The group came together through the efforts of singer David Michael, guitarist Steve Rice, bassist Michael Dargis, and drummer Henry Moreno, leading to the independent issuance of their debut Imagika in 1995 followed by Worship in 1998. Elena Repetto took over on bass from Dargis ahead of the 2000 album And So It Burns, an effort that achieved broader American availability via a WWIII Records reissue featuring additional tracks.
