The band describes the new song, by saying: “Daydream Believer is a gothic romance described into music. The heroine meets her ideal of love during a lucid dream. That is going to let her cross a world of urban-dark obstacles, leading to her mind balance, to find out that happiness is a process of shining from the dark and cannot be achieved alone.”
Secret Sphere are considered as pioneers of the Italian power metal scene keeping the flag of the movement alongside the other famous acts of the same era, such as Labyrinth and Rhapsody Of Fire.
The band honours the heritage of big names in the metal scene by creating a very unique brand of symphonic power metal: catchy refrains, majestic arrangements, and a multitude of musical influences (from Hard Rock to Progressive Metal) make up the ingredients of their musical recipe!
Led by guitar player/producer Aldo Lonobile (Sweet Oblivion w/Geoff Tate, Archon Angel w/Zak Stevens, etc) since 1999, the band has always delivered the goods, crafting their unique sound, results of various influences. The band has been always very active with numerous tours, headlining shows and festivals appearance.
“Blackened Heartbeat”, the latest studio album of the band, was released on November 10th, 2023, and it shows the heaviest side of the band, a Power Metal storm! Definitely the fastest album of the band’s career, with intricate drum patterns, technical and heavy guitar works, dark majestic orchestrations and the unique vocal tone of Roberto, who is able to create original and catchy melodies.
“Blackened Heartbeat” is the second comeback album with original singer Roberto Ramon Messina, who re-joined the band in 2021 releasing the album “Lifeblood”.
