"It's such an honour to have Tony onboard on this song. He did a tremendous job. I think our voices fit perfectly together which makes "The North Will Rise" extra special. Lyrically it's a kind of a hymn to our part of the world in the north. We hope the metal community and the fans of Sonata Arctica and of course Tungsten will like this song and crank it up LOUD!" says lead singer Mike Andersson.
Tony Kakko adds: "Catchy like the cold in January on a viking ship crossing a Nordic, half frozen sea! Truly a song to unite the people and friends of the North! Very proud and happy to join my friends in Tungsten singing together with Mike on this amazing new track. The melodies are just contagious... Consider yourself warned!"
