Music News – Sonata Arctica Discuss New Album Artwork and Title in Second Trailer

Brendan Fisher 3 min read

Sonata Arctica chat about their new album, TALVIYÖ, and the album artwork in a second trailer that you can watch below.

On September 6th, the Finnish melodic metal titans Sonata Arctica will release their tenth studio album, entitled Talviyö (Winter Night). Now, the band has revealed the second album trailer, in which vocalist Tony Kakko and guitarist Elias Viljanen talk about the title and artwork for their forthcoming release.

Talviyö was recorded between September 2018 and May 2019, produced by Mikko Tegelman and SONATA ARCTICA in ‘Studio57’. Additional recordings took place in various other places. “Mikko produced the album and he really managed to push us to do our best, even with the more experimental stuff. Working with an outside producer was the biggest new thing we tried this time”, says Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg. The mixing was done by Mikko Tegelman and Pasi Kauppinen and the mastering was handled by Svante Forsbäck for ‘Chartmakers’.

Talviyö is available to pre-order as CD, LP in various styles and also as a box set containing posters, puzzles, photo cards and the record. Preorder any of those formats from Nuclear Blast here.

  • Owner/Editor/Writer/YouTuber - Heavy Metal and reading, two things I have always loved so they are the two areas you will find most of my reviews. Post apocalyptic is my jam and I always have a book on the go and have for decades now. From a metal perspective, age has softened my inadequacies and I now operate with an open mind, loving many bands from many sub genres but having a particular admiration for the UK underground scene. In my other time, when not focused on Dad duties and work, I try to support the craft beer movement by drinking as much of it as I can and you will also find me out on the streets, walking. I love walking, I love exploring new places and snapping nature photos as I go.
