Blackened Heartbeat is the eleventh full-length studio album from the Italian melodic power /progressive metal band Secret Sphere. 

Secret Sphere is 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, Rhapsody Of Fire, etc.

Led by the guitar player producer Aldo Lonobile ( Geoff Tate’s Sweet Oblivion, Zak Stevens’ Archon Angel, etc) since 1999 the band has always delivered the goods, crafting their unique sound made of different elements, with numerous tours, headlining shows and festivals appearance.

“Blackened Heartbeat” shows the most dark and heavy side of the band and it’s a Power Metal Storm!

Definitely the fastest album of the band’s career, with intricate drum’s pattern, technical and heavy guitar works, dark majestic orchestrations and the unique vocal tone of Roberto able to create original and catchy melodies!
