# Secret Discovery

**Secret Discovery** is a gothic metal band, from Germany.

Secret Discovery ist eine Rockband aus Bochum, deren Stil sich anfangs stark an Bands wie Fields of the Nephilim, The Sisters of Mercy oder The Mission orientierte, im Gegensatz zu diesen Bands allerdings schon früh Metal- und Hard-Rock-Elemente kompositorisch verarbeitete. Mit der Zeit entwickelte sich ein eigener Sound, der sich als deutschsprachiger Dark Rock bezeichnen lässt.
