Sonata Arctica

Description:

After two and a half years, "Sonata Arctica", a heavy metal band evolving more and more after their 15th anniversary, released their first new album (9th album in total). After the complete reproduction tour of "Ecliptica" and the North American tour with NIGHTWISH/DELAIN, Pasi Kauppinen (b), who newly joined the band after the last album "Paraiah's Child", fits into the band, and the new Sonata Arctica is a remarkable album with more unity. This is the first release in Japan.
