Sonata Arctica


Sonata Arctica is a Finnish Power Metal group with a fashion sense from hell. Originally called Tricky Beans, the group changed its name after being signed. The band incorporates fast rhythms with great keyboard and guitar solos. Tony Kakko's high vocals accenuate the band's performances. Sonata Arctica has played with such greats as Nightwish, Stratovarius, and Iron Maiden. The band has also had special appearances by other famous band members on their albums, such as Stratovarius's Timo Kotipelto singing on "False News Travels Fast" and Jens Johansson playing the keyboard solos for Winterheart's Guild. A new album, Unia, is due out May 25th, 2007.
