SECRET CHORD: Releases Music Video for Their New Song "Wraith of Oblivion"
October 16, 2018
Little more than a year after releasing their debut EP Dimensions Of A Dream, SECRET CHORD astonish their fans with a brand new song. "Wraith Of Oblivion" is the title of their most recent composition, revealed last September 8th. The new song's music video, already available on YouTube, was recorded by Marta Malva in Tentúgal (Coimbra) and Amieira (Soure) and directed and produced by Bruno Vale (PubliTV). The recording, mixing and masterization was done by João Dourado at Golden Jack Studios, in Coimbra.

"Wraith Of Oblivion" is the follow-up to SECRET CHORD's dramatic and melancholic approach in their music about the world they live in, a concept started with "Dimensions Of A Dream", the four-track debut EP released on April 2017, from which the single "Set The Firestarter Ablaze" stands out due to the theme of forest fires. With "Wraith Of Oblivion", the band intends to demonstrate that, in today's society, every single person is compelled to accept an imposed destiny ' albeit subconsciously ' becoming a product of the status quo and "social normalization".
With a powerful sound and a strong melodic support, SECRET CHORD continues with their symphonic metal path in "Wraith Of Oblivion", adding some electronic elements, but always with demolishing and pulsing guitars leading the song's progression. Raquel Subtil's voice is once again the main attraction, having reached a whole new level of execution and interpretation, easily demonstrated by the vocal work performed during the recordings, joined by Carlos Pereira and his contrasting and aggressive contribution.
The song "Wraith Of Oblivion" is currently a part of SECRET CHORD's live set. The most recent gig was in September 6th, during their hometown's annual handicraft festival "Poiartes 2018", where they were featured as the main act in a concert that had the special participation of the mixed choir from "Sociedade Filarmónica Lousanense" and the keyboardist João Carlos Ramalheiro, teacher and director at the "Classplash" music academy from Lousã. On October 6th, Secret Chord will be sharing the stage with Henriette B (Switzerland), Shady Gringos (UK) and portuguese bands like The Temple and Tales For The Unspoken at the "Rock dos Romanos" festival, in Condeixa-a-Nova.
On their curriculum, SECRET CHORD counts with gigs at venues like Metalpoint (Porto), Stairway Club (Cascais), Massas Club (Coimbra) and Cabra Negra (Marinha Grande) and shared the stage with bands like SWITCHTENSE, MIDNIGHT PRIEST, TERROR EMPIRE, 11th DIMENSION, INNER BLASTand WATERLAND. In November of 2017, they won the first edition of ASMUSITEC Band Contest.
SECRET CHORD's sound sits between symphonic and alternative metal with clear references to bands like NIGHTWISH, EPICA, DELAIN and KAMELOT or even EVANESCENCE and LACUNA COIL.
SECRET CHORD is a Portuguese symphonic metal band, from Coimbra, that was formed in 2015 by Raquel Subtil on main vocals, Jorge Oliveira on guitars and back vocals, Bruno "EkID" Marques on bass guitar and back vocals and Afonso Martins on drums. In 2016, João Conceição (Stigma Sphere) took the role of lead guitarist, right when the recordings for their debut EP Dimensions Of A Dreamstarted. This record was released in April 15th 2017, exactly one year after their first live appearance.
During the spring of 2017, SECRET CHORD suffers a line-up change with Jorge's exit. Carlos Pereira (MORTEM TALES, DARK OATH) took his place as rhythm guitarist and back vocalist. At the start of 2018 and after showing their work at several venues around the country, the band decides that it was time to record a new song and a music video. "Wraith Of Oblivion" is the title of the new single, released in September 8th 2018, that will be included on their future full-length record.
