Secret Rule released th album “X” on all digital platforms after its physical debut on October 24th, 2025 via Rockshots Records. Across eleven tracks, the Italian modern symphonic metal act sharpen their sound into something more direct, more groove-driven and more contemporary than ever before. Built upon their signature blend of cinematic arrangements, commanding vocals and anthemic hooks, “X” introduces syncopated breakdowns, electronic textures and rhythmic experimentation that push the band into new territory while retaining unmistakable identity.

Entirely written, arranged, produced, mixed and mastered by the band – with Andy Menario overseeing the full production and Angela Di Vincenzo shaping the lyrical and melodic architecture – the album stands as a clear statement of Secret Rule’s complete artistic independence. Lyrically, “X” explores the fault lines of a world coming apart. From environmental reckoning in “Echoes of the Earth” to internal battles in “Silent Pain”, from societal collapse in “Collapse” to the fierce individualism of “Just a Sacrifice”, the record moves between vulnerability and defiance with cinematic precision.
The lineup – Angela Di Vincenzo (vocals), Andy Menario (guitars/production), Sofia Basili (bass/backing vocals) and Andrea Miazzetto (drums) – delivers the tightest and most dynamic rhythmic foundation in the band’s history.
After touring across more than 20 countries, sharing stages with major European acts and reaching international iTunes charts, Secret Rule enter their second decade not as veterans looking back – but as a band refining and redefining their sound in real time.

“X” is heavier. More immediate. More fearless. Out now on all digital platforms!

To celebrate the release, the band has also unveiled a new live video from their recent performance at Masters of Rock 2025 (Vizovice) — a raw and unfiltered snapshot of Secret Rule on stage.
