About: Sonata Arctica

Hailing from Kemi in northern Finland, Sonata Arctica have spent three decades shaping the sound of European power metal - fast riffs, soaring keyboards and Tony Kakko's distinctive vocals. Their latest studio record, Clear Cold Beyond (2024), pulls the band back to the high-speed style that made Ecliptica a classic.
