SECRET SPHERE: Two Full 'Sweet Blood Theory' Songs Available For Streaming

September 14, 2008

Dockyard 1 has set an October 24 European release date for "Sweet Blood Theory", the new album from the Italian symphonic power metal band SECRET SPHERE.

The CD was recorded between December 2007 and February 2008 at Authoma Studios by Federico Pennazzato and mixed in March 2008 at Germany's Indiscreet Audio by Achim Köhler (PRIMAL FEAR, BRAINSTORM).

According to a press release, "Sweet Blood Theory" is a concept album based on the novel "The Vampire", written by John William Polidori in 1814. The book is widely considered to be one of the earliest novels to include a vampire character.

To embrace the concept and create the music for this fantasy epic, the band took inspiration from the famous movie director Tim Burton ("Nightmare Before Christmas", "The Corpse Bride", "Edward Scissorhands" etc) in trying to re-create the typical atmospheres of his most famous movies in both the orchestral score (reminiscent of that of Danny Elfman, who did the music for the aforementioned Tim Burton movies) and for the artwork. The result is huge step forward for the band — the music is as aggressive as before yet keeping the typical SECRET SPHERE melodic touch.

"Sweet Blood Theory" track listing:

01. Evil Or Divine
02. Stranger In Black
03. From A Dream To A Nightmare
04. Bring On
05. The Shadows Of The Room Of Pleasure
06. Welcome To The Circus
07. The Butterfly Dance
08. Sweet Blood Theory
09. Feed My Fire
10. All These Words
11. Vampire's Kiss
12. The Day At The End Of The World

Check out audio clips of all the tracks at this location.

Two full songs — "Welcome To The Circus" and "Bring On" — are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

SECRET SPHERE's "Heart & Anger" album was released in May 2005 via Nuclear Blast Records.
