Powrót fińskiej legendy power metalu w wielkim stylu!


Finnish Melodic Metal outfit SONATA ARCTICA will release its new record »Pariah’s Child« on March 28, 2014 via Nuclear Blast. It will be the bands’ eight studio album and the follow up to their successful »Stones Grow Her Name«.

And also gaining global chart domination with some of the following entries: Finland #1, Sweden (Rock Charts) #5, Canada (Rock Charts) #7, UK Rock Charts #9 and Germany #24.

I would say is our definition of SONATA ARCTICA past and present. Of course we have a couple of oddball tracks but most of the stuff is straight forward Melodic Metal.

»Pariah’s Child« was recorded and produced by the whole band itself – without any outsiders being involved, apart from a couple of guest performances – and mixed by bassplayer Pasi Kauppinen. The mastering however will again be done at Chartmakers (AMORPHIS, KORPIKLAANI) in Helsinki.
