Blue Light Cage has been released on October 23, 2020 and features guest appearances by Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Sons Of Apollo etc.) and Marek Arnold (Flaming Row, Seven Steps To The Green Door etc.).

We made three videoclips to promote the singles The Ghost Syndicate, A President’s Speech and the title-track Blue Light Cage.

Before being put in this Top Progressive Albums of 2020 and yesterday in the Avenoctum.com Albums Of The Year 2020, Blue Light Cage was already highly-praised in the specialized press.

More and more reviews for Blue Light Cage are coming!

DPRP.net: “The concept is off to a flying start via the majestic instrumental opening sequence (Opening Sequence), which is probably the best opening sequence I have heard in the past 23 years […]. A most definite contender for my top 10 year-list, which could equally be true for anyone craving some inventive progressive metal that sees an infinite array of creative ideas and flawless executions. 9/10″. Read it HERE

Madeinmetal.es: “The closing cut “Breathe And Recover” is […] in short an incalculable display of majestic musicality. I conclude by saying that Soul Secret has once again achieved another phenomenal and meritorious work of traditional progressive metal with various stylistic elements somewhat different from their previous releases, which in my very personal taste I have enjoyed 100%, an album that will delight and surprise fans. new and old listeners of the genre. […] HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”. Read it HERE

Avenoctum.com: “Phew. What can I say? Blue Light Cage is utterly stunning. The construction of this album and the collation of the ideas have led to something amazing. The musicianship is outstanding and the layering of the ideas brings about an unstoppable flow. I just didn’t want this to end. The concept behind this is interesting but what came out of this for me was the band’s bubbling and infectious enthusiasm, and their ability to bring it to life. There are dark and light moments and I engaged in that, but such was the musical joy in this production that I genuinely felt that I was having fun from the beginning to the end of this stellar work. 9.5/10″.

Blue Light Cage official videoclip is finally here!

It is the third single from our recently released album and we had the pleasure to have Marek Arnold on this one as a guest, with his incredible saxophone touches.

The acting talent in this clip is Roberto Oliveri, multifaceted artist who is known among other things from his work on the TV series Gommorah and now working with Oscar-awarded director Paolo Sorrentino.

Barbara Romano and Gabri Gargiulo of G2 Studios directed this videoclip too. The cinematic vibe is strong also in this one, talking about the cage we all live in and the ways we could walk to be free.

We are devastated to hear the news of the departure of Eddie Van Halen.

Years ago, when we were writing material for Blue Light Cage, we worked in a little tribute to him in one of our songs to honor the influence he had on us.

Little did we know that it would get the meaning that it will have from now on.

He will be missed.
