- SECRET SPHERE -
SYMPHONIC POWER / SPEED METAL

Italian power metallers SECRET SPHERE have five albums under their belt - all great examples of how symphonical music can blend perfectly with fast, hard-hitting power metal.
BIOGRAPHY
SECRET SPHERE - a name guaranteed to make every Power Metal freak's heart beat faster with excitement and anticipation! Crediting bands like HELLOWEEN, BLIND GUARDIAN 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 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 Koehler (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 epic and orchestral elements. Achim Koehler / 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.

The band began working on a new album in late 2006, 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.

In October/November 2007 SECRET SPHERE toured all of Europe as support band for Swedish Hard Rockers Astral Doors.

The rest of 2007 and early 2008 was spent writing material for the new opus, "Sweet Blood Theory", which was released October 2008 through Dockyard 1 Records in Europe, Locomotive Music in USA and Avalon/Marquee in Japan and Asia, and SECRET SPHERE is now ready to promote the album that will bring them on top of the mountain that is heavy metal.
