METALFEST OPEN AIR 2024 – amphitheater Lochotín, PILSEN – 31.5. – 2.6.2024

Finnish metal icons SONATA ARCTICA recently announced that they can't wait to perform live songs from their brand new album 'Clear Cold Beyond', which will be released on March 8th, 2024.

The album "Clear Cold Beyond" contains 10 tracks that revive the band's passion for power metal melodies. Packed with powerful songs, the record brings together the best of all periods of the band's multi-faceted work, from high-speed anthems like 'First In Line' and 'California' to powerfully emotional tracks like 'The Best Things' to the strong closing track 'Clear Cold Beyond'. This record has something for every SONATA ARCTICA fan. Pre-orders for the album have been opened, >>HERE<<

Singer Tony Kakko comments: “We’ve felt for a while now that we needed to get heavier after a couple of unintentionally softer albums. We still love those albums, but in terms of finding cornerstone songs for a feel-good melodic metal show, the previous album didn’t have much to offer. We’re getting back to metal after all that feels like a fresh start, and the new songs have been so much fun to write and record: More speed and songs that people can and want to sing along to. We can’t wait to hit the road with this album and see how the crowds react to us being back at it.”

The first taste of the new album, singl "First In Line" has already left their creative nest with great success and is a great harbinger of what awaits us, among other things, this year at the 13th METALFEST in PILSEN! SONATA ARCTICA with a brand new album!
