DARK SECRET is composed with a bay area stench and Cleveland metal punch.
In 2017 guitarist - Mark Shea and bassist - Al Wojtonek collided at a local metal venue in Cleveland, Ohio and have become inseparable. With the addition of drummer - Lou Barkley, guitarist - Brian Steele, and vocalist - Jeff Emilio this lineup played their first concert February of 2020 and hasn't looked back. While playing venues in the Cleveland/Akron area the band has gained traction fast while winning crowds over and adding fans.
In the summer of 2021 Dark Secret were named "Ohio's Most Metal Band" in a battle of bands judged by none other than That Metal Show's Don Jamieson.
The band’s captivating, high-energy performances transport audiences back in time with musicianship, creativity and tradition.
Dark Secret has recently completed their self-titled release which is currently available on hard copy at all live performances, various media outlets, and on all streaming networks.
