Secret Sphere

Yep volentieri

 

BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music Srl is truly pleased to announce the signing of another Italian musical treasure, SECRET SPHERE for a multi-album deal!

Secret Sphere honour 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!

The band was founded in the summer of 1997 by guitar player and composer Aldo Lonobile. With 8 albums under the band’s belt, extensive tours, and great live shows around the world (including support slots for King Diamond and GAMMA RAY (Official) and festival appearances at ProgPower USA, ProgPower UK, ProgPower Scandinavia, Metal Dayz, Gods Of Metal, and many more), Secret Sphere is one of the most exciting Melodic Metal bands around.

The band’s latest original release, the critically acclaimed “Portrait Of A Dying Heart” – the first to feature extraordinary vocalist Michele Luppi - received overwhelmingly positive reviews and praise from fans and was heralded worldwide as one the best melodic metal albums of 2012. Some of you may recognize vocalist Michele Luppi's name as he was chosen to be the official keyboardist for the Whitesnake/David Coverdale “The Purple Album” World Tour.

If you are not familiar with the band yet, then enjoy the awesome “Lie to Me” on YouTube now:

Aldo commented: “As fan of Frontiers for many years, I'm very excited to work with them! It's such a great honour to read Secret Sphere name alongside many of my idols. Currently we are working on the final touches of our release ‘Live in Tokyo,’ recorded during the headlining tour of Japan and the writing process for the new album is running smoothly. There is a huge message behind the new music again and we are focused more than ever to deliver the best Secret Sphere album to date!!! Later in 2016 we will be again on tour.”

Michele: “I'm truly happy to get to work again with the Frontiers family after 7 years. We are determined to write the best Secret Sphere album ever – get ready!”

Frontiers plans to release the Live CD/DVD “Live In Tokyo” in the fall of 2016 with the new album expected to come in the early months of 2017.

BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of the first SECRET SPHERE live album, “One Night In Tokyo” on October 14th!

Secret Sphere are a global force in the metal world, but Japan especially has always been a special place for them since their inception in 1997. In fact, it is the only country where you can find Secret Sphere’s very rare, original debut demo tape, officially released as a special edition item there since the demand for their releases is so prevalent there. That says a lot about the respect and affection that the fans in the Land of the Rising Sun have for Aldo LoNobile’s band which is of course a mutual feeling.

During the band’s last Japanese tour, in support of the Special Anniversary Edition of the band’s signature album “A Time Never Come”, Secret Sphere had the chance to record their show in Tokyo in its entirety. The set included all the band’s major hits like “Legend”, “Under The Flag Of Mary Read,” plus melodic metal gems taken from the latest album “Portrait Of A Dying Heart". Featuring vocalist extraordinaire Michele Luppi (who is now also the keyboard player for Whitesnake/David Coverdale), the show was one for the ages.

The result is a stellar performance in a very welcoming atmosphere, a night to remember, where the band played their classic songs with true passion and energy to a wildly receptive audience. The same passion and energy that you can expect from the band's next studio release, which is currently in the writing stages.

Aldo Lonobile says: “Since I started the band, the idea of recording our first live album in Japan was the ultimate goal! All my musical heroes described their experiences in Japan with a happiness and a warmth that you could almost feel. That was the truth, among the most loyal fans in the world, and I am 100% happy that Frontiers liked the idea to release our first live album!”

To enhance the celebration, the band agreed to the label’s suggestion to release a brand new version of “Lie To Me,” featuring an outstanding duet between Michele Luppi and former Nightwish singer Anette Olzon. Released originally on “Portrait of a Dying Heart”, the video reached almost 1 million views and this new version shows a depth and a reach that makes it even better compared to the original!

Immagino ne abbiate già parlato ma..vista l'uscita di questo live e la loro presenza al Frontiers Metal (non vedo l'ora), ho ascoltato alcune volte Portrait Of A Dying Heart.
Che ne pensate?
Le recensioni sono praticamente tutte positive, ma nutro qualche dubbio sulla longevità dei brani.
Suonati, prodotti e creati magistralmente, ma mancano melodie di impatto per quanto mi riguarda.
Luppi è uno dei miei singer preferiti, ma se lo mettiamo a cantare melodie non indimenticabili mi risulta piatto a volte.
Mi piace comunque che non si siano focalizzati sul power classico, questo è un disco praticamente prog e mi fa piacere.
Penso alla lunga potrebbe svelarmi cose piacevoli ma per adesso non mi ha fatto gridare "che figo".

 

Che è meglio dal vivo, su cd la voce è troppo invadente.

 

X dal live in Tokyo.
