Sonata Arctica Talviyö

SONATA ARCTICA have long since proved impressively that they are among the absolute spearheads in Melodic Metal. No other formation lets emotions, depth and melancholy fuse with metallic force in such a harmonic perfection.

Now it's time to open a new chapter: "Talviyö". The beautiful, enchanting title of the current record comes - as the name already suggests - from Finnish and means translated as much as Winter Night. This is not a classic winter album, but it combines all those attributes that describe the enchanted magic of a clinking cold winter night and goes one step further. "Talviyö" contains the pure essence of SONATA ARCTICA, the heart of her entire creative work: the most beautiful, dreamy, slightly enraptured melodic arcs and sound cascades, that unique atmospheric, mysterious aura and at the same time this rousing, energetic dynamic and joy of playing. A virtuoso journey that completes power, sophisticated riffs and opulent bombast with the famous Finnish melancholy and a nebulous touch of magic.

Above all, however, "Talviyö" manifests one thing more clearly than ever: this band is a true creative fountain of superlatives and will continue to offer wonderful things in the future. Let's stay excited to see what dimensions SONATA ARCTICA will take us into...
