Imagika was a Bay Area thrash band which was formed in 1993. The band's name was lifted from a Clive Barker novel. The band's first album was self-titled and through its own Headless Corpse label in 1996. This brought a deal with Radiation Records for Worship and shows with Iron Savior and Grave Digger. ...And So It Burns was issued by Massacre. Grave Digger's then main two members Chris Boltendahl and Uwe Lulis guested on ...And So It Burns. The same albums appeared in the band's home country as So It Burns.

The band would announce a name change in 2003, but soon changed its mind. The same year brought new singer Norman Skinner. A US tour was announced for June, 2006 following the release of My Bloodied Wings. The tour’s name was Mausoleum Metal Masters Tour. Surprisingly, however, the band parted ways with Mausoleum Records. The group signed a record deal with Sleaszy Rider Records for the release of its My Bloodied Wings CD in Europe. The release was due in September. The label was nominated to issue the band’s 2008 record as well which was being recorded by Andy La Rocque. The band’s new guitarist was Noor LaCroix replacing Pat Toms. The band’s new album, entitled Feast For The Hated, was due in late 2007. The band signed a deal with Locomotive Records for the release of Feast For The Hated CD, which was due in May of 2008.
