MAILПроект, задуманный Даниэле, стал воплощаться в жизнь в 2006 году, когда Даниэле встретился с бас-гитаристом Мартино Гараттони. Первый постоянный состав был сформирован в 2007 году. В него вошли: вокалистка Сара Скводрани, ударник Алессандро Каричини, гитаристы Клаудио Пьетроник и Фабио Балдуччи.
В 2010 году группа выпустила свой дебютный альбом The Alliance Of The Kings. Источником вдохновения, повлиявшим на стиль музыки и тексты песен, стала другая итальянская группа — Rhapsody of Fire.
The Alliance... является первым альбомом трилогии The Black Crystal Sword Saga. Как итальянское так и немецкое издания журнала Metal Hammer отметили особую продуманность и проработку данного альбома.
Также было отмечено некое сходство голоса вокалистки группы Сары Скводрани с голосом известной шведской певицы Anette Olzon (Nightwish).
В сентябре 2010 года Алессандро Каричини покинул группу. На его замену пришел новый барабанщик — Федерико Гатти. 2010 - The Alliance Of The Kings (The Black Crystal Sword Saga Part 1) [Spiritual Beast, IUCP-16078, Japan]

Второй альбом группы был выпущен в 2011 году и называется The Soulless Child. Альбом продолжает повествование первой части трилогии The Black Crystal Sword Saga, начатое в первом альбоме. Рецензии немецкого отделения Metal Hammer и журнала Rock Hard сошлись во мнении, что у второго альбома группы просматривалось стремление к китчу. И если Metal Hammer и оставил несколько позитивных высказываний о отдельных треках альбома, то Rock Hard полностью раскритиковал второй альбом группы за отсутствие хоть каких-либо хуков2011 - Soulles Child [Spiritual Beast, IUCP-16122, Japan]

В апреле 2014 года выходит третий студийный альбом группы — A New Dawn Ending, который стал заключением первой части трилогии The Black Crystal Sword Saga. Начиная с 2014 года, Сара Скводрани стала выкладывать эпизоды из сюжетной линии трилогии в виде прозы на своем блоге. Каждая песня соответствовала одному эпизоду.
После выхода третьего альбома по личным причинам покинул группу гитарист Фабио Балдуччи, которого заменил Simone Bertozzi2014 - A New Dawn Ending [Spiritual Beast, IUCP-16190, Japan]

Origine – The Black Crystal Sword Saga Part 2 вышел 25 января 2019 года на лейбле Limb Music.
В нем есть все элементы, которые присутствуют в симфоническом металле: длинные припевы, обилие симфонии и хора, парящий вокал и тяжелый металл. Древние Барды становились лучше с каждым альбомом, и этот не исключение. Возможно это их лучшая работа.2019 - Origine (The Black Crystal Sword Saga Part 2) [Avalon, MICP-11456, Japan]
