Sonata Arctica - Share New Album Details, Launch First Single
On September 6th, Finland's Sonata Arctica will release their tenth studio album, dubbed Talviyö (which means Winter Night). The album was recorded between September, 2018 and May, 2019, produced by Mikko Tegelman and the band in Studio57. Additional recordings took place in various other places. The mixing was done by Mikko Tegelman and Pasi Kauppinen and the mastering was handled by Svante Forsbäck. Sonata Arctica also present their first single from the album, "A Little Less Understanding", along with a lyric video.
"We were talking about having an album cover made from a photo and luckily managed to find this award winning photographer Onni Wiljami who actually hails from a village not too far from our hometown and his pictures were just perfect for this album", explains keyboardist Henrik "Henkka" Klingenberg. He adds: "We recorded a bunch of kick ass songs and tried some new stuff as well. I'm really proud of how we managed to record the band sounding more live, playing together instead of just tracking everything one by one."
"The idea was to create an album that is musically in line with at least the previous two albums", says vocalist Tony Kakko and adds: "I am very happy with the songs and the general mood of the album. Some career highlights there, I feel."
Tony Kakko on the new single: "The song is lyrically somewhat a follow-up for I Have A Right" and talks about the difficulty of making the right choices with the upbringing of a new human being."
