Album:

Formed a mere two years ago, Italy's Secret Rule has been busy with two albums in two years, the latest Machination on the Scarlet Records label. Now, Secret Rule, not only from Italy, but also fronted by a female vocalist. What's that you say? Another symphonic heavy or power metal band? That's what my expectations were. But that's not entirely so.It's not that aren't some symphonic notes, but they're minimal. More so, Secret Rule is a melodic heavy metal band equally infused with the groove of hard rock and speed of power metal. Or is it the reverse? You catch that amalgamation clearly within Dolls or I Will, the latter has some of that power metal quickness. Even better for that fast pace is You're The Player, once more over a prominent groove and some groovy riffs and hooked with a nice chorus. And you'll pick up the symphonic layer in the middle.Something more should be side about the keyboards. With The Image, they come with the gentleness of the piano, basically supporting the melody of an otherwise vocal anthem. But then Henrik Klingenberg (Sonata Arctica) can get just plain weird with his synthesizers as within Your Trap. At the beginning, and after the midpoint, they sound like some warped interpretation of The Captain and Tenille's Muskrat Love. Strange.Moving on to the vocals, Angela Di Vincenzo has a powerful voice. The expectation that she might be one of the gazillion octave shrill operatic singers can be dismissed. She has some range, but she presents more as a pure hard rock and heavy metal vocalist. It should be noted that within Foolish Daisy, Secret Rule has some moron doing death vocals (and possibly within Dolls also, but muted if there). Whatever. I'll never understand. You write ten or so songs, and then somebody in the band says, "Hey! We gotta be modern and cool. We need a song with dirty vocals. Get over it already. Otherwise, Secret Rule's Machination is a strong second effort, with entertaining melodic hard rock infused heavy metal with a few more twists besides.

Line-Up:

Angela Di Vincenzo - vocals
Andy Menario - guitar
Michele Raspanti - Bass
Ruben Ramirez - Drums

On October 7 in Wetzicon at the Hall of Fame venue, the Italians supported Serenity and on January 29, they opened for Delain.Early in 2017, SR supported Blaze Bayley for some gigs and then started to work on new material.

Throughout their career, the band has built a loyal fan base that supports all of their activities.

Album:

The evolution that took its toll on Metal isn’t a new feature at all. It was this abstract force that made Metal evolve from the 70’s to the 80’s, from the 80’s to the 90’s, and so on. It’s not a sin to say that TRIVIUM, SLIPKNOT, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and other were true inheritors of the past, without a shadow of doubt. Of course that the fans can like them or not, it’s their right, but they can’t deny such thing. And to show as modernity really can make things even tasteful the Italian quartet SECRET RULE comes for another round with “Against”, their latest release (and it’s their fifth album as well).Their music can be described as a fusion of a modern form of traditional Heavy Metal with some modern elements, with charming and accessible melodies, powerful rhythms and hooking choruses. Barely comparing, imagine a fusion of the best elements of EVANESCENCE, NIGHTWISH, TRIVIUM, old elements from THE GATHERING with Hard Rock/Heavy elements, and the listener can have an idea of what is expecting on this album. And the band shows an amazing flow of energy on each song. The sound quality of the album is surely excellent: all musical instruments present very good sets of instrumental tunes, trying to be modern and aggressive, but in a way that the listeners will understand easily (evading the greasy and low tunes that could be a wrong choice for their work). And the album sounds clean and heavy, in a way that aggressiveness and melodies can be expressed and assimilated easily.“Against” isn’t a hard album to be heard and assimilated. The hooks are so many that every song has something that the fans will like. The seductive chorus and modern energy of “Shades of Humanity” (along with its very good keyboards parts and some male nasty voices to create good contrasts), the accessible hooks presented on the chorus of “Rise Again” and “Going Nowhere” (where the introspective and somber ambiance turns things even more interesting, and the guitars are really great), the commercial modern outfit of “Digital Revolution” (what lovely vocals can be heard on this one), and the abrasive modern weight contrasting with good melodies on “Against” and “Deep Solitude” are the best moments.The musical work of SECRET RULE is really mature, so hear “Against” and take a ride of joyful moments that it brings to the listeners.

Album:

After their latest album “Against” released on February 21st, SECRET RULE is back and armed with a new set of tunes. The Italian metal band will release a cover album on April, 24th exclusively on their official web store and, later, it will be available on the most important digital platforms.It’s titled Quarantine: The Other Side of Us and it has been conceived, shaped, played, mixed, and mastered in two weeks, during this quarantine time where most of the people in the world have been forced to stay home.Speaking about the release itself, vocalist Angela Di Vincenzo states:“Quarantine: The Other Side of Us is a special Secret Rule cover album consisting of eleven covers made in memory of this damned period that the whole world is getting through because of COVID-19. Due to the positive reactions to our music videos for the covers of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Gets Me Through” and Placebo’s “The Bitter End”, released during the first 2 weeks of the pandemic, and after the request by our fans to have an album of covers made by us, we decided to release a special album containing the two covers songs previously released plus other nine new songs.” Andy Menario, the SECRET RULE mastermind adds: “We’ve worked hard to put all the elements of a Secret Rule track in this new album. It was quite a challenge because we’ve thought, worked, played, mixed, and mastered it in just two weeks, while recording an original album may take several months to get it right! We have to say that this surreal situation we’re living in, the frustration to not promote our new album on tour, gave us the right creative boost and it was very rewarding to get it done in such a short time. We are glad that we’ve taken up this challenge and we are very proud of the result. We hope this album can bring positive vibes to everyone”

Album:

Looking to the future, as we always have done, we see clearly the direction this world has taken and we don’t like it. Social media has completely changed the 21st century, and today it leads and influences public opinion applying worldwide censorship debatable. Today war is not only on the ground but also fought on the social by hits of propaganda well thought to bring society towards a precise direction, and we can’t pretend to not see what’s happening. Our rights, our freedom, and our lives are at risk. This album keeps bringing ahead our battle for the truth.After releasing their introspective seventh album Mea Culpa, where it was already possible to perceive how the environment has influenced their music and what the world was living, Secret Rule, talented players of modern rock-metal, have prepared their new album The Resilient and present the first single - video "One More", out via 7HARD Records.With a dark-cinematic opening, the first single "One More" cuts sharp like a razor blade without making any compromises. With distorted guitars, rumbly drums, and a really angry voice, Secret Rule express their position on the war speaking directly to the guilty who keep pursuing their interests for their dirty power games.

Album:

SECRET RULE, founded in 2014 by Angela Di Vincenzo and Andy Menario, is known for their unique blend of heavy riffs, electronic elements, and catchy vocals. With high-energy performances and successful albums like "The Key to the World," they have garnered millions of views on YouTube and reached the Top 10 of the iTunes charts. Their latest album, "UNInVERSE," explores the concept of finding balance between humanity and the universe.Each track on "UNInVERSE" delves deep into emotions and establishes a strong and intimate connection with the listener. With their thought-provoking and emotionally charged lyrics, Secret Rule explores profound themes that evoke powerful feelings resonating in the soul. It is this ability to delve into the depths of the human experience that sets Secret Rule apart from their peers and allows them to establish a deep connection with their audience.With their exceptional talent for seamlessly merging heavy metal riffs with infectious melodies and unforgettable hooks, Secret Rule has created a musical masterpiece. UNInVERSE is an auditory exploration that transcends boundaries and invites the listener to contemplate their place in the grand scheme of things.Disorder starts slowly with a man whispering some words, almost as an electronic track, after a while we get female vocals with the strength of a choir. Once the guitars jump in we get a real heavy metal kind of style, lead by a rambling bass guitar and Angela spitting out the lyrics. Towards the end a get’s a more symphonic metal kind of feel.Equilibrium starts with a warm piano sound and gets shredded by sharp guitars, hammered down by the drummer and filtered away by a symphonic metal touch. Angela’s voice seems to tremble a bit ( a bit like Dave Gahan’s voice, known from Depeche Mode). Her vocal powers lead her to high notes but also to a very deep bass sound and it all sounds like as if it’s just like a walk in the park during spring.Shards Of Time starts with hammering drums and rambling guitars mixed with a bit of electronics that give the song a Science Fiction touch (in combination with the lyrics). It’s clearly a well fuelled song!Gravity On Us is a great rocker with a catchy chorus and a great global sound! This one has a certain hit potential!Uninverse starts like a cheap symphonic metal track, changes pretty fast into a more electronic minded track and switches off to a more metal minded track and this all within one minute. The end is filled with pathos and has a very catchy sound!I Am sounds like the spooky electro version of Tron but throws on top a typical symphonic metal touch, rambling guitars and hard hitting drums. Angela’s trembling voice sounds well! The more symphonic metal parts remind me a bit of Withing Temptation.Time Zero starts with a count off and a rambling guitar. The start is the heaviest of all the previous tracks, but it’s Angela’s voice who takes down the tempo and the fire. After her introduction we get more pathos and a more dangerous feel. I also hear male vocals and I like it! The male voices on the special part of Time Zero are: Nick Pedron (bass player) for the clean male vocal, and Andy Menario (guitar player) on the angry vocal.Multiple Me starts with a sound that reminds me of count Dracula until the guitars and the symphonic sound jump in. It’s a nicely pumped up track!From Null To Life could have been an electro minded floating track but it changes after 30 seconds into a pumped up symphonic metal track with a choir in the background. It’s a good track with great vocals!Black Hole is a track I can describe as a powerful ballad that shows off bravely the vocal powers of their singer: AngelaDi Vincenzo. It’s a magical and magistral end for this album!It’s not over yet as we get an encore called: Uninverse (piano and vocal version): here we get once again the proof that Angela has a beautiful voice and proof that she can do anything with it. In this version she grabs for our heart.I heard more then enough potential and am happy I finally run into this band! I hope they come one day to Belgium and invite me to their show to review it (hence I go to max 10 shows a year as I’m passed 50 and need to dose my energy next to cycling and having a very demanding job with irregular hours in the hospital I work in)! I hope the album gets the response needed and the maximum exposure they totally deserve! Congratulations!

Throughout their career, the band has built a loyal fan base that supports all of their activities.

Album:

Formed in Rome in 2014 by Angela Di Vincenzo and Andy Menario, Secret Rule have grown into a cornerstone of the European melodic metal scene. Fusing symphonic arrangements, driving guitar riffs, and cinematic soundscapes with anthemic hooks and poignant lyrics, the band has earned acclaim for both its studio output and electrifying live shows.The lineup solidified with the addition of Sofia Basili on bass and Andrea Miazzetto on drums, injecting a new rhythmic vitality and stage chemistry. This formation embodies the essence of Secret Rule: a project driven by vision, technical proficiency, and a shared emotional language.Across nine previous studio albums, the band has toured extensively in over 20 countries, sharing stages with Delain, Visions of Atlantis, Serenity, Xandria, Rage, and Semblant. They’ve appeared at prestigious festivals such as Masters of Rock, Rock Imperium, Laurus Nobilis, and Barcia Metal Fest, while singles like The Song of the Universe have garnered millions of views and streams, entering iTunes charts in countries like Japan, Finland, Italy, and Canada.Known for their creative independence, Secret Rule write, arrange, produce, and mix their own music - a testament to their commitment to authenticity and control over their artistic output. Each release has marked an evolution, but with X, the band has created a definitive moment in their career: bold, expansive, and utterly contemporary.Marking a decade of creativity, X is far more than just Secret Rule’s tenth studio album — it’s a statement of artistic evolution, resilience, and bold redefinition. Conceived during a time of internal growth and external chaos, the record captures the urgency of the present while honoring the band’s roots in emotional, melodic, and symphonic metal.The album was developed from the ground up by co-founders Angela Di Vincenzo (vocals/lyrics) and Andy Menario (guitar/production), whose synergy continues to define Secret Rule’s sound. But X also marks a turning point: the entrance of bassist Sofia Basili and drummer Andrea Miazzetto during the writing process infused the material with a renewed sense of cohesion and vitality. Their contributions created a rhythm section that is tighter, more expressive, and more dynamic than ever before.Entirely self-produced, X showcases the band’s complete creative control. Andy Menario managed every technical aspect—from arrangements to mixing and mastering - while Angela brought emotional authenticity to the lyrical and melodic construction. Together, they shaped an album that is both intricate and immediate, blending accessibility with technical refinement.Lyrically, X is a journey through fragmentation and rebirth. It touches on climate collapse (Echoes of the Earth), digital alienation (Walking Down the Street), inner turmoil (Silent Pain), and personal defiance (Just a Sacrifice, The Answer). Yet even at its darkest, the record offers glimmers of resilience and resolve - it is music that stands tall in the storm.This duality between vulnerability and strength defines the album’s emotional landscape.X is not a retrospective; it is a bold step forward. Empowered, focused, and fearlessly expressive, Secret Rule embrace a new chapter with full creative confidence. The result is their most ambitious, cohesive, and emotionally charged work to date.Secret Rule’s X expands the band’s sonic identity while preserving the melodic core that has defined their career. Built upon a symphonic metal framework, the album draws from a wide spectrum of modern influences — including electronic textures, metalcore-inspired breakdowns, cinematic atmospheres, and even subtle rap passages - making it their most stylistically diverse album yet.The guitars are sharp and groove-oriented, providing a solid foundation of heaviness, while the keyboards offer both orchestral grandeur and contemporary digital layering. Vocals by Angela Di Vincenzo range from ethereal and haunting to powerful and commanding, anchoring each song with emotional clarity. The addition of Sofia Basili’s backing vocals and Andrea Miazzetto’s dynamic drum work provides a rhythmic complexity and harmonic depth that elevate the entire production.The band draws inspiration from modern genre-benders like Amaranthe and symphonic mainstays like Within Temptation, pushing boundaries while remaining grounded in their signature identity. Tracks like The Answer and Destiny Reloaded combine anthemic choruses with layered grooves, while Echoes of the Earth and In the Silence offer introspective moments wrapped in cinematic intensity.Secret Rule has always blurred boundaries between accessibility and complexity, and X takes this one step further. It is music that speaks to fans of melodic metal, symphonic grandeur, and progressive modernity alike.Date of release is 24.10.2025.
