Secret Rule shares music video for new single ‘Silent Pain’

Italian modern metal act Secret Rule unveiled their powerful new single “Silent Pain”, the third track taken from their upcoming tenth studio album “X”, due out on October 24th, 2025 via Rockshots Records.

Following the energetic “Just a Sacrifice” and the evocative “Echoes of the Earth”, “Silent Pain” dives into the emotional terrain of hidden suffering. With haunting melodies, cinematic arrangements and raw, confessional lyrics, the song captures the invisible battles we fight behind closed doors—where pain is masked by silence and strength is found in vulnerability.

“‘Silent Pain’ is a song I deeply connect with—it’s about giving a voice to emotions we often keep buried. Singing it felt like releasing something I had been holding in for years”, shares vocalist and lyricist Angela Di Vincenzo.

Musically, the track merges heavy grooves with fragile atmospheres, reflecting the duality of emotional turmoil and healing. Guitarist and producer Andy Menario explains:

“I wanted the guitars to echo the internal chaos and quiet desperation behind the lyrics—sometimes heavy, sometimes fragile, just like the human mind.”

As with the rest of the album, the song was entirely produced by the band. Angela Di Vincenzo penned the lyrics and vocal melodies while Andy Menario handled the arrangement, mixing and mastering at Digitall Studio. Drums were recorded at Alpha Music with Andrea Miazzetto delivering a tense yet fluid performance and Sofia Basili adding both depth and vocal harmonies on bass.

Secret Rule’s upcoming album “X” celebrates their tenth anniversary with a bold and contemporary sound, blending modern metal intensity, symphonic textures and electronic experimentation. The album explores themes of collapse, resistance and rebirth—“Silent Pain” stands as one of its most intimate and cathartic moments.

Formed in 2014 by vocalist Angela Di Vincenzo and guitarist/producer Andy Menario, Secret Rule has emerged as a powerhouse in the symphonic modern metal scene. Now joined by Andrea Miazzetto (drums) and Sofia Basili (bass), the band seamlessly blends crushing metal riffs, cinematic symphonic layers, and cutting-edge electronic elements, all elevated by Angela’s commanding and emotive vocals. Hailing from Italy, Secret Rule has attracted audiences worldwide with their unique sound and high-energy performances.

With nine studio albums, the band has continually pushed the boundaries of the genre, crafting richly layered compositions and thought-provoking lyrics. Their dedication to musical innovation has earned them a global following and a reputation as trailblazers in modern metal.
