There are several artists under this name (none of which are to be confused with The Secrets):
1. An Italian dark metalcore/black metal band. The Secret was born in Trieste, Italy in 2003 from the demise of the edge metal band From the Dying Sky. Their sound "combines elements of hardcore, noise, metal, and post rock to create a dark, heavy yet dynamic sound topped by the noir and cryptic atmospheres of the lyrics." The Secret's music is a "complex and intense stream of consciousness which drives the listener through unexpected soundscapes." There are "polyrhythmic breakdowns, dark atmospheric passages, and heavy mosh parts … blended with surgical precision." The Secret is Marco Coslovich, Michael Bertoldini, Federico Lodolo and Christian Musich. All quotations extracted from artist's biography at www.goodfellowrecords.com.

The Secret are best remembered for their live PA's at the legendary trance night Escape From Samsara at the Brixton Fridge in London where they played regularly on rotation with other acts such as Cybernaut and Lab 4 in the mid/late 90's. These sets typically featured the trio leaping around like loonies on stage behind their equipment while knocking out a fantastic array of energetic uplifting hard trance tunes, notably the anthemic 'Tribe'.
4. The Secret, later known as Von Guarde, were an indie rock band from Bowling Green, KY that were active from 2003-2008.
