"The guys have a road and know very well where they step. And this path they follow drinks from the source of traditional metal in its most 'old school' form.
Striking riffs, consistent cuisine and well-fitted vocals set the tone
Masterful debut!"
-Vitor Franceschini/roadie-metal.com
"The debut is an all-round success. A varied album. Hard riffs, thrash, high-speed metal, melodic power metal but also ballad-like passages alternate. Dark Secret can build on that.
“Mind Pollution” received an 8.5/10 review."
-rkerber57, keep-on-rocking.com
"Mind Pollution" is a real who's who of the international power metal scene, bundled in nine mostly mid-tempo songs, whose individual class shouts the loud 'Hurray!' through the entire classic metal community.
With their official debut, the troupe from Cleveland has already set the anchor. If the subsequent campaign of conquest does not attract many enthusiastic bangers, one would have to be very surprised. It's cool that there are still newcomers with such a cool old-school sound!"
-Björn Backes, Powermetal.de
"Absolute unequivocal star quality. ‘DS’ zaps its way into your brain, with that energised zest and liveliness. The level of that consistent power’s enough to impress, in itself, but the sheer precision of perfectionism just seals the deal. You’ll wonder where this band have been, all your life. ‘DS’ is a purity, composed of the finest metal ingredients."
-Jenny Tate, Rock Queen Reviews
"The band presents lovers of good and old HEAVY METAL extremely catchy and high energy songs. In short, we can say that the sound of DARK SECRET is heavier than a typical AMERICAN POWER METAL band."
- Hora de Bater Cabeca, Rock FM Brazil
"Dark Secret, a five piece metal band from Cleveland played all original tunes, much to the delight of the crowd. The band is tight and they won the audience over." - Greg Drugan, North Coast Music Beat
"A new power metal band from Cleveland who released their debut EP this past year. I call them ‘Metal Church on steroids’ because their live show is heavier than your typical power metal band. Plus, the singer sounds similar to Mike Howe. I actually had them open for a death metal show the day before Halloween because they were so heavy live. Good guys, good music, and a lot of fun. If you haven’t heard of Dark Secret, please do yourself a favor and check them out." - Seth Lipocky, Slipocky Wordpress
