Early Years (1997–2011)
Guitarist Aldo Lonobile formed Secret Sphere in July 1997. Early on, the band was influenced by hard rock, heavy metal, and classical music. After some lineup changes in December 1997, the band recorded their first demo, Between Story and Legend, in September 1998. The style of the demo was firmly in the symphonic power metal genre that was expanding in Italy at that time.
The demo caught the attention of the Italian progressive/power metal label Elevate Records, who signed the band to a two-album deal. In June 1999, Secret Sphere recorded the first full-length album, Mistress of the Shadowlight. The album continued in the stylistic direction shown on Between Story and Legend, and included re-recordings of a few songs from that demo.
In October 2001, the band returned to New Sin studios (where the first album had been recorded) to record their second full-length album, A Time Never Come, also released on Elevate Records.
Secret Sphere recorded two promo CDs in 2002 while in search of a new recording deal. They caught the attention of major German heavy metal label Nuclear Blast, who would go on to release the band's third album, Scent of Human Desire, in May 2003. Scent of Human Desire presented a change in direction for the band, focusing less on fantasy themes and more on romantic, sexual themes. After the release of Scent of Human Desire, drummer Luca Cartasegna left the band, citing difference in musical tastes.
The band's fourth album, Heart & Anger, was released in May 2005 on Nuclear Blast. Daniel Flores (Mind's Eye) was brought on as a session drummer for the recordings. After the album was released, a full replacement drummer was found in Federico Pennazzato. That same year, the band planned to back up the Danish progressive metal band Royal Hunt, however, the tour was cancelled two days before it was set to begin. A 2006 Scandinavian tour backing King Diamond was more successful for the band.
In 2008, Secret Sphere released their fifth album, Sweet Blood Theory, on Avalon in Japan and the German label Dockyard 1 Records in Europe. The album was based on the short story "The Vampyre", written by John William Polidori, as well as the atmospheres of Tim Burton's cinematographic work. Longtime members Antonio Agate (keyboards) and Paolo "Paco" Gianotti (guitars) departed the band after the release of the album; both had been with the band since the recording of their demo a decade before.
Dockyard 1 Records folded in 2009, but the band was picked up by the Italian heavy metal label Scarlet Records in time for their sixth full-length album, Archetype, released in September 2010. This was the first recording with new keyboardist Gabriele Ciaccia and new guitarist Marco Pastorino.
Vocalist change, later years (2012–)
In 2012, the band began recording for their seventh album. However, part way through recording, vocalist and founding member Roberto Ramon Messina left the band due to differences in musical direction. Michele Luppi, former vocalist of the Italian progressive power metal band Vision Divine, was recruited as Roberto's replacement, and the album, entitled Portrait of a Dying Heart, was released in November of that year on Scarlet Records. Drummer Fredderico Pennazzato left shortly after; Marco Lazzarini was chosen as his replacement.
Secret Sphere returned to the studio in 2015 to re-record their second album, A Time Never Come, in commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary of its release. A Time Never Come – 2015 edition was released by Scarlet Records in April 2015.
The band signed a multi-album deal with Frontiers Records in April 2016. Later that year, Frontiers released the band's first official live recording, One Night in Tokyo, as a 2CD + DVD set. Following the release of One Night in Tokyo, guitarist Marco Pastorino left the band. The band's eighth album, The Nature of Time, was released in June 2017, with only Lonobile on guitars.
The band released their most recent album, Lifeblood, on 12 March 2021. This album features the return of vocalist Roberto Messina for the first time since 2012.

Misty Drop for Wild Daisies
The scars that you can't see - Lyrics
For all those years of night
I saw the truth behind the past
Unspoken words, cold as ice, a crown of thorns
Above my head, a drop of blood in a sea of lies
Is dying in my hands this story
I can feel my winter slowly comes
Another day, another night I can't wait forever for a change
Still not black enough for my bleeding heart
A whisper in the wind tries to say goodbye
This voice inside the air don't let me cry
Alone your breathe can heal my soul tonight
And the curtain falls on
The scars that you can't see
A fallen star with no desire and joy
Betrayer of a never ending oath
Alone your breath can heal your soul tonight
And the curtain falls on
The scars that you can't see
And the curtain falls on
The scares you can't see
A fallen star with no desire and joy
Betrayer of a never ending oath
Alone your breath can heal your soul tonight
And the curtain falls on
The scars that you can't see
As the candle
slowly burns
The source of sin
Corrupt the hands
Broken wings
To leave this world
Praying your god
To save your soul
Still I swim the shore
Frustrated as my winter never comes
Broken wings to leave this world
Praying your god to save your soul
A whisper in the wind tries to say goodbye
This voice inside the air doesn't let me cry
Alone your breath can heal my soul tonight
Rodrigo Aimi
Michele Luppi simplesmente sensacional!!!
Toussaint Jose

Joao Claudio
Esse cara é um monstro! A melhor voz do Metal!
Luis Carlos B Monteiro
@Kevin Rodrigues não suporto a voz do Alessandro Conti. Nos médios até vai, mas nas notas altas, extremas, a voz dele soa muito ruim.
Kevin Rodrigues
Joao Claudio Luppi, Alessandro Conti, Giacomo Voli, Lione. A Itália é bem representada no mundo do metal rsrs.
