Secret Garden is the eighth full-length studio album by Brazilian progressive/power metal band Angra, released on 17 December 2014 in Japan and with a release date of January 2015 in Brazil and Europe.[2][3] It is band's first album with singer Fabio Lione and drummer Bruno Valverde, as well as the last to feature lead guitarist Kiko Loureiro, who left to join Megadeth. The album also features lead vocals by rhythm guitarist Rafael Bittencourt and guest performances by Simone Simons from Epica and Doro Pesch.[3]

Regarding the album, Loureiro commented on June 2014:[4]

The musical changes always happen because we change as persons as well. So not only the lineup changes. So you can expect some changes, of course, with Fabio, a different voice. We try to search for new ways of doing music, so for sure you guys are gonna hear some different and new stuff, but the core and the essence of Angra is gonna be always there anyway.
