I dont know if they are small, I heard from them a few days ago, And I like them alot. they're a great Metal band. And Especcially the song Replica is awesome. Its one of my favourite songs of all.

Anyone else know them? and like em

My brother actually introduced me to Sonata Arctica, and what I've heard of them so far, I really enjoy. Not many people I know have heard of them. Download (or buy) Black Sheep, it's on the CD Silence. There's some GREAT guitar work.

i heard about sonata arctica last year from a friend, and they are very good! :)

I only like Replica but that song is fecking great.

Sonata Arctica is AWESOME!!!! That guy has such an amazing voice, its unbelievable!

They kick ass, aren´t very famous (but aren´t very unknown) in metal scene and Tony Kakko vocals are only good in CDs (at least that´s what I think by hearing a live MP3)

Sonata Arctica are a Great band!!!

Haha, that would be ridiculously awesome. I'd die.

Uppage.

Great band. I love the first 2 albums although the 3rd I haven't listened to enough to pass educated judgment on.

I really like the songs I have heard from them

Try either the "Ecliptica" or "Silence" albums N, I'm sure you'd like them.

Sonata Arctica's latest album Winterhearts Guild is Amazing.
the album is an outstanding Masterpiece.
one of the finest albums of the year.

Sonata Arctica are awesome i've liked them forever. Jani has some of the most crazy solos ever.Glad to see other's like them to.

they're good! im seeing them in september at bloodstock.

I bought their CD "Silence" today. and I love it that much that I will certainly buy another one when I have enough money ;) ...

oh yeah, sonata arctica, one of my fav bands ever. i have all their cd's. they are very popular here in europe. my boyfriend (who is playing in a metal band) is a great friend of Tony. not bad i think ;)

Yeah Sonata arctica rocks. I really dig their ballads as well. Like Tallulah and stuff. or that other song dana I think with the irish flute intro. Gives me goosebums every time.

don't know why, but allot of songs from sonata are about dana. It must be a special girl ;)

Sonata Arctica is an awesome band. My sister is a huge fan so that's the way I found them.

I think Tony has one of the best male singing voices I know. I love his voice..
Wintherhearts Guild is great. \m/

I've got the "don't say a word" EP today, and yes, absolutely great. i can't wait for "reckoning night". and hopefully i can go to the concert in salzburg in october :)

They are absolutely GREAT!!! I listened to Winterheart's Guilt and I fell in love with them. Great music, incredible voice... I especially love Draw Me and Broken, but all the songs are wonderful.
I'm waiting for the new album and hope to see them with Nightwish in October ;)

i must admit, when i got Winterheart's Guild i wasn't really keen on most of the songs (especially Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited and Silver Tounge) but now i'm used to them, i love all the songs on this album. my favourites are The Misery (which i'm listening to now), Broken, The ruins Of My Life and Victoria's Secret. aboslutely amazing album. i'll have to get hold of another of their albums soon.

Go download replica damnit :rolleyes:

I wasn't too keen on them either at first but my friend was totally into them so they kinda grew on me. Didn't the lead singer of Nightwish feature in some of their songs?

It was the other way around, Tony contributed on some Nightwish songs.. or maybe it was just that one. Can't remember if it was more.

Tee, hee, they're Finnish just like me! :D I haven't really listened to them a lot, I've got a few friends who love 'em.

Maybe Finland will finally be cool now that we've got Nightwish, HIM, all these kindsa bands... We're so in right now. Yay :p

I've heard few songs from them, they were Weballergy & Wolf And Raven. I liked Weballergy a lot, and the other was ok.

the songs that i know Tony did vocals on...

Beauty and the Beast (Live)
Over the Hills and Far Away
Astral Romance (2001 Remake)

Finnish music = the best in the world. seriously. it makes me wonder what the hell i'm still doing in England. Finland ROCKS!

You're a sweetie :) You're welcome to come and visit anytime you like :D Finland is a pretty weird place, though, so be warned.... :p

lol..That's what I've been thinking. :D

And yeah.. Finland can be a pretty weird place sometimes. :p

I've always wanted to go there I hope I get to someday.
Closest I got to anywhere other than Spain or France was walking round the lands at EPCOT in Disneyland :p

I could have gone to Finland for a few days earlier this year, but didnt bother :p Don't really feel like going there, not coz its a sucky country, but its a lot like norway.... cold, grey, cold, and didnt i mention cold..

We're way weirder than norwegians :p :p And the cold is different kind, it's moist in Norway but Finland isn't so close to any oceans so the climate is different... You have to come and see for yourself :D

How can anyone be wierder than norwegians? except maybe icelandic ppl.

I heard them not so long ago as I saw a really awesome SA band shirt on a site and thought "Oh that's an awesome shirt, I'll check out the band". The shirt was the Ecliptica album cover which I can't help but love. Ever since then I've been into them, they are an excellent band.

Anybody knows their new album "Reckoning Night"?

It rocks


20202020202

i saw them live about a week ago, cause they are on tour with nightwish. i think they were pretty good, they really rocked....but after a while the singer's voice got a little too annoying for me....

I've only heard a few songs from the Reckoning Night album and thought they were pretty good. I haven't heard them live though...

I've heard a few songs off Reckoning Night.

and I love them.

OMG!!! I saw them live on thursday with Nightwish... and I completly fell in love. Don't say a word is a HUGE song and the singer has a powerful and sweet voice!!! I bought all their album... one of my favourite band!

My friend Sarah tried to send me some songs by Sonata Arctica but they didn't go through, she adores them though, I should ask her for them again=)

*Pokes Hil* Ask me for them, I can send you some.

*Pokes Hil* Ask me for them, I can send you some.

*pokes Dania* I would but my computer is acting weird and msn leaves after a minute so let me try to fix that=((

if you want to, I can send you some songs too :)

Just heard them live on the radio and it sounded great!!
Tony really has a powerful voice. Gotta go see them live some day.
..and gotta listen to Reckoning Nigth. :)

Sonata Artica is one of my favourite bands.

Tony Kakko has amazingly strong voice, I love it. Reminds me and Tuomas talking about Tony. Tuomas had an idea that I'm going with Tony at Lappi and we never gonna get back home, because Tony can't read a map. :D

Don't say A Word is so good song so I can't stopping listening it.

I downloaded Replica the other day. At first i was like meh is ok nothing special but it grows on me and now i really like it :)

yeah, replica is a really great song. one of the greatest from sonata, in my opinion :)

Have you listened the song called "Shy"? I think that song is little bit sad, but Tony sings very cutely in that song. :D

god, I love "shy"! :) also tallulah, gravenimage, broken, shamandalie, etc etc etc. i think every song has something special and i love it :)

I must say I like Sonata Arctica very much. I guess I'm a big fan of Finnish metal :D (and proud of it, too). Reckoning Night is absolutely their best album and the best song on it is White Pearl, Black Oceans. My Selene is great as well.

can't wait for the live album, which is coming out november 14th :)

I didn't know they even had a live album coming out, that is great news. IT will be cool to hear some of the newer songs live.

can't wait for the live album, which is coming out november 14th :)
Cool didn't know about this, now I'm excited!

Does anyone know when they will start working on their next proper album though? Soon I hope.

A live album will be cool as i want to see them live but still can't see when.


I brought Ecliptica recently :D Its brilliant i reccomend it very much. I had already heard Replica and Fullmoon. I love them and also My Land, Letter To Dana and the whole album i will be buying their other albums soon

Sonata Arctica is awesome live. I see them again at Ankkarock-festival. The songs what they played were (I can't remember everything, the list is not in the order):
Misplaced
Blinded No More
Broken
Kingdom For A Heart
Victoria's Secret
Shamandalie
Don't Say A Word
Weballerly
My Land
Dream Thieves
The Cage

I got all the albums, Silence and Reckoning Night are my favos. Ecliptica is awesome and Winterheart's Guild has great songs on it.

PS. Don't forget to buy "Songs Of Silence". It's good live album where is good songs. ;)

Its alright for you living in Nightwishland :p lol We only get Reckining Night and overpriced imports of Winterhearts Guild here. Also the one date i have seen for them here is when i am away :(


Lol Thanks for the setlist though i'm glad Don't Say A Word is there its one of my favourite songs by anyone at the moment

Hey don't you complain either lol over here I've never seen any of their CDs in stores, and they've never toured here and probably never will! :p

DSAW come right after Shamandalie, it was like "KAPUM!". Dream Thives was a bonus because when they started playing Shamandalie, the men besind me yelled "Last Drop Falls!" and then come again "KAPUM!" and they started play Dream Thieves.

Remember, if you ever travel to Europe... You might found thei CD's from stores. Germany must have those...

A friend sent me 8th Commandment and Full Moon a while back. They are the reason I gave metal a chance. Any band that writes awesome songs about werewolves is cool in my book.

Anyone know where I can listen to songs by them? I can't find any cds here

Broken (from a gig, I haven't saw it) and Don't Say A Word.

OMG. Sonata Arctica has added an Atlanta tour date! *has multiple heart attacks* I just asked my Mom and she said if it's all ages, we can go!!

Nice, you got lucky! Don't miss out on this! (wish I could go :/ )

Broken (from a gig, I haven't saw it) and Don't Say A Word.
So they do have a video for don't say a word? I thought they might have, but I couldn't see it on the official website. Anyone got a link to this video?

that's great mallory, hopefully you can make it!

i wish they could tour more in the uk, they've only been here once this year i think and that was in birmingham. i got really into them around then though, still not sure what album i prefer, let alone song :p although the first album i liked was winterheart's guild.

I had heard rumours they will tour here next year but have found nothing to back those rumours up so will just have to keep waiting i guess

My friend send me their video (I have saw it many times at finnish top40-list) long time ago... I love this. :D Guys are so awesome! Exspecially Henkka (the keyboard-guy)! He's so sweet... Even more sweeter live! *blinky-eyes*

It isn't the greatest video, very boring actually, but still...

Definately listen to Reckoning Night. Their best album, easily. :D

that's not my favourite sonata arctica album, but the other albums aren't *that* different. 'ecliptica' and 'reckoning night' are my favourite albums. i haven't listened to 'silence' an awful lot, i never really fell for it.

i guess it depends on what songs you like on winterheart's guild. i'm sure you'll find something on all the other albums that you'll like.

Maybe the official site? *shrugs*

Thanks for the link. I didn't know this page so far, but since I am looking for anything on SA there will surely be something interesting I didn't know so far.

I saw them live a couple of months ago, they definitely rocked. Can't wait to see them again in April

I finally had the chance to see these guys at the Electric Ballroom at the end of last year. It was probably the best gig I have ever seen, to the point where after that gig, I didn't want to go to any of the other gigs I'd booked, because they would not even nearly be as good.

So I'm really excited to see that they're coming back here in April.

Also, for anyone who's interested, Paid In Full video (from new album Unia)

I'm going to see them in a few weeks, pretty stoked about it.
