Finnish melodic metal whirlwinds SONATA ARCTICA recently started the ”Clear Cold Beyond” world tour in support of their new studio album in their homecountry.
Inspired by the highly acclaimed record, the group couldn’t only
celebrate a series of great chart entries — including some of the best
positions in their long-time career
but they are now also pleased to announce their return to stages outside of Finland in the form of a European headline tour in September/October this year. Special guests on the whole run will be iconic Greek metallers FIREWIND with German power metallers SERIOUS BLACK warming up the crowds. The line-up of the Nordic leg will be completed by SONATA ARCTICA’s new RPM labelmates, Swedish symphonic metal act TUNGSTEN.
Keyboardist Henrik ”Henkka” Klingenberg states, ”We
had a blast touring with STRATOVARIUS in Europe last autumn, playing
power metal and rocking out. With the release of our first studio album
in 5 years, ”Clear Cold Beyond,” it’s time to hit the road once again.
We’re really looking forward to presenting our new power metal songs
live and I’m sure this will be yet another tour to remember. See you at
the shows – cheers!”
”Fresh off from our headline shows in support of our new album
”Stand United” and today we’re excited to announce more European shows
for this autumn as special guests of the mighty SONATA ARCTICA. No rest
for the wicked! Get tickets and don’t miss this!” says FIREWIND guitar hero Gus G.
Adds SERIOUS BLACK bassist Mario Lochert: ”After
5 studio albums, numerous tours, shows and festivals worldwide, the
name SERIOUS BLACK has already become a permanent fixture in the power
metal scene. Anyone who has already been to a concert of this band can
look forward to another fireworks on stage – full of hymns, melodies and
heavy riffs!”
TUNGSTEN vocalist Mike Andersson comments, ”We’re
really excited and ready to tour with SONATA ARCTICA in Scandinavia in
September. It’ll be an honour to share the stages with these bands and
to meet the audience. It’s truly gonna be a blast and we can’t wait!”
