SONATA ARCTICA: Announce October 2016 European Tour; Working On New Album

Finnish melodic metal quintet SONATA ARCTICA has started to work on the follow-up album to the successful “Pariah’s Child” record. Beyond that, the band is happy to announce the first leg of their European tour, announced via their official Facebook page.

SONATA ARCTICA is currently taking a break from the recording for their 9th studio album and about to head out with Nightwish for a couple of weeks in North-America from February 19th on.

Directly alongside the release of the new album, SONATA ARCTICA will hit the road again, supported by their Swedish fellows TWILIGHT FORCE.
“We’re all really looking forward to finishing our new studio album and taking the songs on the road. This time we’ll start in Europe before heading on to the rest of the world. As always, you can expect a energetic show with new stuff as well as some old favourites“, states the band.
