Dark Secret [Official Website]

Dark Secret was born at the end of January 2007 as a tribute to the Finnish band “HIM”. In order to make it happen Francisco and Federico Di Meola (ex - guitarrists) and Leonardo Vera (ex - baterist) got in touch with Lautaro Newbery (lead singer). After two weeks of rehearsals a new member, Julia Figueroa (ex - bass) joins the band. A month and a half later DarkSecret is invited to make its first appearance in a popular pub in Santa Fe (Argentina) together with another band known as “Profugos.” They kept on working hard after their debut adding 2 songs of their own and a cover of the song “Precious” by Depeche Mode.
However not long after their debut, Leonardo Vera left the band and Valentin Macagno (former guitarist) took his place playing the drums. Many rehearsals took place before they received another invitation to make their second appearance on June 2007 again in the same pub they made their debut. Though this was one of their most important presentations, since they performed for more than 150 people, it would also be their last. Only Lautaro Newbery and Valentin Macagno would stay in the band trying to keep it alive.
The following 2 years were of considerable distress. Their search for new members was hard and unsuccessful. Luckily on September 2009 things would change and new members would join the band. Emiliano Spesot (Drums) and “El Russo” Arroyo (Bass) were the last ones to join and the former members of DarkSecret together with Lautaro (lead singer) and Valentin (Guitar).
Dark Secret is no longer a tribute to “HIM.” They are currently “a mix of styles, ideas and influences that go from a dark sound with a gentle-but-transparent melody, to the most violent distorsion.”
Since September 2009 DarkSecret has been composing their own songs. Some of this songs are now part of their first EP.
On July 2010 after 41 hours of recording, editing and mastering, DarkSecret´s first EP is finally done. Thanks to “El Pote Studios” (Ramiro Genevois and Luciano Luggren). This EP includes an instrumental introduction and 4 songs.
On August 2010, the song "I Will Find You" was selected by the Marketing Division of Eclipse Records (United States).
Dark Secret signed a contract with Eclipse Records for the inclusion of "I Will Find You", into Streetcult Loud Music Compilation CD - Vol.15 and the distribution of 10,000 copies in the US.
Some of the bands that feature in the compilation are Fear Factory, Tristania, Leaves Eyes, Kingdom of Sorrow and Scum of Earth.
One month later, the band was invited to be part of another compilation with two of their songs: "I Will Find You" and "Circular Ellipsis". The compilation CD, named "Other Sounds Vol. 1", was realeased by "Abula Multimedia" with a national exposure.
After that, Dark Secret began to play live in many places including the "9na Bienal de Arte Joven" and "Generacion Rock" festivals.
On August 2011, after a few days of recording, edition and mastering, a new EP came alive at "El Pote Studios" titled "Another Chance", which contains 4 new songs.
After playing live on many stages, Dark Secret also got exposure on TV and Radios, playing accustic versions of the songs. It also began to get more air play on some radios in the US.
