Niiiice.. Now THIS is my kind of thread. Anybody hear of/like Sonata Arctica? They're a power metal (more recently progressive) band from Finland. They're pretty big in Europe I think but not very well known here in the states.

They have quickly become my favorte band of all time. Their music just clicks with me. Lyrics, vocals, melodies, everything is just great.

I figured it was time to create a thread dedicated to the genre with the most dedicated fans. After 40 years it is still going strong. No other genre can say that.

I only know a couple of bands from Finland Lordi and Poets of the Fall. I know Poets isn't really heavy but their music is still great. I haven't heard of Sonata Arctica but I will check them out in the morning when I can listen to music on my stereo and not just my cheap laptop speakers.

So you don't know none of Children of Bodom, HIM, Nightwish, Hanoi Rocks, Apocalyptica, Sentenced, Finntroll, Stratovarius or Amorphis?
