Band: Sonata Arctica
Home Page:
Location:
Status:
Lightweight but complex power metal, more recently moving into a more progressive area. Musically sound though not particularly original; Kakko's less than complete grasp of English makes for some unintentionally funny lyrics on earlier albums although this has improved as has Sonata Arctica overall.
