| Band biography |
On September 1998 there is the first concrete step for Secret Sphere; they record their first demo "Between Story and Legend". After it Cristiano Scagliotti leaves the band to be immediately replaced by Luca Cartasegna. This line-up is the last one. The demo is very well reviewed everywhere final and actual line-up, since 1998(also top demo on Metal Hammer), so that after few days it catches the attention of Elevate Records. On June 1999 they record at Luigi Stefanini's New Sin Studios (Labyrinth, Eldrich, Domine, White Skull) their first full length CD, "Mistress of The Shadowlight".
After the success of "Mistress of the Shadowlight" (especially in Japan, France, Brazil and Chile) and some live shows across Italy, they start recording on June 2000 the song "How many tears" for the Helloween tribute "Keepers of Jericho" for "ARISE RECORDS" that features many international big names (Metallium, Heaven's Gate, Sonata Artica, Labyrinth, Rhapsody and many more).
Four months later they record the new album "A Time Nevercome" once more at New Sin Studios. It was top album on almost all heavy metal magazines for personality and originality as well as taste and good production. The sound is quite different, more energetic than before, and surely more mature; they play now heavy metal in many of its facets; the choirs are sung by Roberto Bruccoleri (Projecto), Terence Holler (Eldritch) and Francesca Ferrara.
On early 2001, Secret Sphere are contacted by Hard Staff management and after a short time they play with Kiko Lorueiro (from Angra) in a couple of live shows. On 9th March they prepare a party for the release of "A Time Nevercome"; many musicians for a big jam session are invited, as well as two "interesting" lap-dancers; sex, love and passions in general are gonna be two of the main inspirating themes for the band...
After some gigs, 2002 is the year of two promo sent all around the world, so Secret Sphere have now the best engagement of their story: Nuclear Blast.
The third album sees the light on May, 19th 2003. Recordings take place in Italy (Mirage and Alfa&Omega Studios), mix and mastering in Germany (House Of Music, with Achim Kholer, same producer of Sinner, Primal Fear, Brainstorm); talking about choirs and collaborations it's up to some very good italian professionists such as Vera Quarleri (vocalist with Franco Battiato), the sopran Gabry Selvaggio, Nadia Lanfranconi and the singer of the metal band Morgana, Marco Mesemi. The sound is now more rich and open minded, with the technique of metal and the feeling of rock.
