One of my favorite bands ever (probably overall top 5) Sonata Arctica is coming out with a new album - apparently going to be closer to their power metal roots than anything in the last decade so I'm pumped. They went on this highly progressive and acoustic tangent that just wasn't for me. I liked a tinge of the progressive and softer, more dynamic stuff with the power metal but not full-on pop/acoustic/progressive rock like they've become. The fast melodic power metal is what drew me to them and without it they've felt hollow of late.
Band has helped me get through some dark, lonely times which is pretty much what the doctor ordered again now so I'm particularly excited for the new album. Based on this song I think we're in for the first good album from them since Pariah's Child in 2014.
