Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of the first Secret Sphere live album, “One Night in Tokyo” on October 14th, 2016!
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!
