SECRET RULE is a Modern Metal project founded by singer Angela Di Vincenzo and guitarist Andy Menario (Martiria). Mixing elements from different genres, the talented frontwoman and the prolific composer join forces, creating a unique brand of melody and heaviness mixed with strong symphonic and electronic elements.
Angela’s strong and passionate vocals flow graciously between catchy choruses and breathtaking verses, contrasting with Andy’s heavy and powerful guitar riffs. The sound that derives from it could be reminiscent of a mixture between Evanescence and Within Temptation.
Secret Rule’s lineup is completed by drummer Sebastiano Dolzani and bass player Nicola Pedron.
Eight albums released, “Transposed Emotions” (2015), “Machination” (2016), “The key to the world” (2017), “The 7 Endless”(2019), “Against” (2020), “Quarantine: The other side of us” (2020), “Mea Culpa” (2021) and “The Resilient” (2022).
The band has a solid fan base and intense live activity with a lot of featured special guests like Aylin (Sirenia), Stefan Helleblad (Within Temptation), Henrik Klingenberg (Sonata Arctica), Timo Somers (Delain), Sander Zoer (Delain, Leah) and Henning Basse (Mayan, Firewind).
Secret Rule played a lot of shows all over Europe, including headlining European tours, sharing the stage with great bands such as Delain, Beyond the Black, Xandria, Serenity, Kobra & the Lotus, Semblant, Blaze Bayley, Visions of Atlantis, and Cellar Darling and performed festivals including the Barcia Metal Fest, the Metal Fest Event – Femme, the 9° Camorock, Festo Die Hydra, The Rock Castle and the Rock Fest Prague.
Currently, the band is working on their ninth album.
