Federico Pennazzato joined Italian melodic metallers Secret Sphere in September 2005, replacing Daniel Flores. The band commented:
"Federico is a young and brilliant drummer coming from our city, so after more than three months of collaboration and some gigs we are happy to confirm that he is the right man to sit behind the kit!" the band write on their web site. "We wish all the best to Daniel Flores from the bottom of our hearts, we still consider him as a member of the family and a great friends, but sometimes the distance is difficult to manage!"
