On the thirteenth of December, Sonata Arctica was back in The Netherlands with their “The Raven Still Flies Over Europe Tour”.

Sonata Arctica – Talviyö

Posted on September 14, 2019September 14, 2019by Metal-Exposure

Ten albums, it’s something not a lot of bands can say that they have achieved. The main challenge for a band which is around for that long, would be to keep existing fans entertained, yet also attract new fans and keep things interesting. Interesting, that is a good keyword for Sonata Arctica’s tenth studio album […]

Sonata Arctica – The Ninth Hour

Posted on October 10, 2016October 10, 2016by Metal-Exposure

It is only fitting that a ninth studio album is called “The Ninth Hour”, yet for Sonata Arctica, album titles need to fit the cover art and style of the album as well. That is why this title works well with the record, since we as humankind are at the tipping point in our existence, […]

Sonata Arctica

Posted on April 15, 2014May 15, 2014by Metal-Exposure
