Dea Marica are an english doom metal band from London. The band was founded in 2012 by Riccardo Veronese (ex-Gallow God, Aphonic Threnody) and Chris Takka (previously lined up to replace Gallow God's old drummer) and joined, during the same year, by Roberto Mura (Urna, Aphonic Threnody) and Patrick Jones.
A few months later Chris and Patrick left the band due Riccardo's decision to work on a better way on the band's new material. Riccardo and Roberto, joined by Marco (Urna, Arcana Coelestia, Aphonic Threnody), started the recordings of their first full-lenght album "Curse Of The Haunted" (2013). This time, thanks to a better quality production, the band delivered a more mature album. The full-lenght, mixed and mastered at 322Studio by Marco, is the best Dea Marica's manifestation to date. At the gates of summer 2013 Weird Truth offered to print out the album.
