Bio
Formed in 1997 in the North of Italy, Secret Sphere is one of Europe’s leading power metal bands. Their first album, ‘Mistress Of The Shadowlight’, was released in 1999 on Elevate Records and quickly put the band under the spotlight, with surprisingly good reviews coming from almost every specialized media. Secret Sphere’s music is a concentration of pure energy and strong emotions, with a lyrical approach that emphasizes the values of life. And that’s been the case throughout their entire career. The good success of ‘Mistress Of The Shadowlight’ led to a very special band’s appearance in the ‘Keepers Of Jericho’ compilation, the first official Helloween tribute album. 2001 saw Secret Sphere releasing ‘A Time Nevercome’, which was the natural musical evolution of the first, instinctive effort, an album that gained, once again, an incredible reaction from fans and media alike, giving the band the opportunity to share the stage with artists like Edguy, Primal Fear and many others. ‘Scent Of Human Desire’ (2003), Secret Sphere’s third full length effort, was a courageous experiment that featured some hard-rock influences added to their former style. The album can also be seen as a major turning point for the band. At that point Secret Sphere were signed to world-renowned German label Nuclear Blast. ‘Heart & Anger’ followed in 2006: the band’s fourth album is a huge symphonic work that features a 40-piece orchestra and a choir. Following its release the band hit the road with King Diamond and Astral Doors. Both tours helped them to grow and gain massive experience. Some years later, in 2008, ‘Sweet Blood Theory’ confirmed their status as a leading force in the heavy metal movement and another big tour, this time with legendary Gamma Ray, followed in February/March 2010. But the best is yet to come… Secret Sphere have signed a deal with Scarlet Records for the release of their new album ‘Archetype’, the sixth in their career, which has already been described as the band’s most instinctive, mature and energetic album, an overwhelming mixture of classy arrangements, beautiful melodies and powerful rhythms. Be ready for one of the heavy metal highlights of 2010. .. .... .. .... .. .......... .. .. .... .. .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .. .... .. .. ...... .. .. .... .. ...... .......... .......... .......... .......... .. .... .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. ....SECRET SPHERE – a name guaranteed to make every Power Metal freak's heart beat faster with excitement and anticipation! Crediting bands like HELLOWEEN, ANGRA, DREAM THEATER and SAVATAGE as their biggest influences, SECRET SPHERE manage to honour the heritage of such big names while creating their very own brand of Symphonic Power Metal. SECRET SPHERE was founded in summer 1997, the initial spark coming from the talented guitarist Aldo Lonobile. After some line-up changes during the early days, the current line-up recorded their debut album “Mistress Of The Shadowlight” in 1999 through Elevate Records... .. In 2000 SECRET SPHERE appeared on the prestigious “Keepers Of Jericho” – HELLOWEEN – Tribute sampler alongside big names such as SONATA ARCTICA and RHAPSODY. After the second album, “A Time Nevercome” (2001), SECRET SPHERE concentrated on touring all over Europe and signed with Nuclear Blast for 2003..s opus, “Scent Of Human Desire”. Produced by Achim Köhler (SINNER, PRIMAL FEAR), their third album reaped excellent reviews and high rankings in international metal press. 2003 saw them play various shows at well-known festivals including the Metal Dayz in Switzerland and the band was also invited to play the ProgPower USA festival in 2004. .. .. “Heart & Anger”, SECRET SPHERE..S second release for Nuclear Blast – and their 4th, both showed their trademark strengths and the tendency to include even more majestic and orchestral elements and very aggressive parts. Achim Köhler / House Of Music – well-known for his heavy productions for SINNER, BRAINSTORM or PRIMAL FEAR – was responsible for the powerful yet detailed production once again. His duty was to melt SECRET SPHERE..S Speed / Power Metal riffing with the epic, symphonic parts recorded with a full orchestra. In 2005, Secret Sphere teamed up with Intromental Management to further the possibilities for the band in the heavy metal business. A tour was booked, as support band for Royal Hunt, but RH chose to cancel the tour 2 days into the schedule, leaving Secret Sphere with a devastated economy and a horrible experience. However, the band decided to fight on in spite of being this terrible incident. .. .. With a newfound energy the band after few months, in april 2006 was again on the road supporting King Diamond on his Scandinavian tour. After the succuessfull tour, the band decided to begin working on a new album, this time, including a concept of the strange and moody world of Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, A Nightmare Before Christmas, etc.). Moreover, the band played stunning shows at several festivals, including ProgPower UK and the Evolution Fest in Italy. 2007 has been spent, writing material for the new opus, and Secret Sphere is ready for the recordings of the album that will bring them on top of the mountain that is heavy metal. Before to release the fifth album the band decided to come back on the road supporting the Swedish Hard Rockers Astral Doors on their European tour just to build up more the band's name. .. .. Now everything is ready for the comeback ! “Sweet Blood Theory” is the final step to establish the band's trademark in the metal music. A concept album based on the Polidory's novel “The Vampire” (1814) here and there melted in the typical Tim Burton's moody world and the dark-epic Elfman Soundtracks. Musically the band showing an aggressiveness not usual for a power metal band keeping the unmistakeable style of the band in composing catchy melodies! Secret Sphere now has their unique sound ! .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .... More than simple Emotions.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
