We’re very excited to go back to the Graspop Metal Meeting and play for you all
on June 20th, 2015!

It’s been some months since we released the re-recorded version of our debut album Ecliptica and of course we couldn’t resist the temptation of attempting to play the whole album front to back live. Hence, we’re happy to announce the Ecliptica special shows in Europe. On these shows we’ll perform Ecliptica in it’s entirety as well as assorted hits from our catalog. This is a one time thing only, don’t miss it.

As special guest we will bring Freedom Call, who will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their ‘Eternity’ album and play a special set around that album.

See you all out there!!!

The Sonata Arctica book now available in english e-book, buy and download:

The Book about Sonata Arctica has just been released in english E-book version.

The Book tells the story about Kemi’s most notable musical export.

With the voice of the band itself and the people close to them Sonata Arctica tells the story about the bands rise to international fame. It´s also a story about the luck the band had in the beginning and the lucky coincidences that rarely happen to bands.

In the book there’s also a complete discography and a lot of previously unreleased pictures spanning
the bands whole career. There will be also a short story The Key in the book by vocalist Tony Kakko himself.

The unique Sonata Arctica story is available in English only in e-book.

English language printed book will not be available.

As told by themselves and those close to them, SONATA ARCTICA is the story of an internationally successful rock band, its people and their success. It is a personal growth story of a group of musicians and an honest-to-God account of a career filled with amazing strokes of luck and grueling hard work; musical oddities and skyrocketing success; the story about a band’s metamorphosis from a group of green-horned oafs to seasoned professionals with an unbroken string of Gold Records under their belts.

This is a heart and soul account of a close-knit but turbulent fraternity with all of their joys and sorrows; about painful but unavoidable line-up changes; a tale of beating all the odds and about music as a calling often not quite as glamorous as hyped.

The book includes the debut short story by the vocalist of SONATA ARCTICA, Tony Kakko.
