SonataArctica-2016

It’s been very silent in the band camp of Finnish melodic metal titans SONATA ARCTICA recently. But this break has been put to good use: the band has entered the studio to start the recording process for their tenth studio album, due in 2019 through Nuclear Blast. But before their new record will see the light of day, SONATA ARCTICA will embark on a special journey – their very first acoustic run across European soil! Support will be provided by special guests, Los Angeles, CA based metallers WITHERFALL. Further details can be found below.

Keyboardist Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg comments, “We’ve been locked up in the studio since the end of the summer working on our next studio album and decided we needed to take a break and go out and play some shows. In the summer of 2016 we did an acoustic summer tour in Finland which was a lot of fun for both us and our fans; in fact it was so great that we wanted to do it again and this time we’re not settling for just Finland – but taking this show all around Europe for the first time ever. Now is a unique chance to hear our music in a completely different setting and we’re sure these evenings will be something really special. Our set will also include some stuff we’ve never played live before, and who knows maybe even a new song from the upcoming album. See you at the shows!”

Tuska 2017 organizers have announced new bands to its 20th Anniversary Bash program, set to take place on June 30th – July 2nd in Helsinki:

From the deep south, BARONESS are touring on their absolutely brilliant ”Purple”-record and we’re super-stoked to have them back at Tuska. AMORPHIS are among the most popular Finnish metal acts and a long history with Tuska, it’s only natural for them to play the anniversary year. Another domestic band with whom Tuska go way back, are SONATA ARCTICA. Welcome to the bill, boys. Furthermore, the Finnish thrash mainstay MOKOMA as well as INSOMNIUM, who just recently released their epic ”Winter’s Gate” album, have also been added to the line up.

Also the third indoor stage program is unleashed, announcing the well-known HM-2 worshippers, TRAP THEM are functioning within the realms of punk, hard core and twisted metal riffage. We’re proud to have them at Tuska for the first time. KOHTI TUHOA debut album ”Rutiinin Orja” is one of the undeniable highlights of hardcore punk over the past few years. Guitars are screeching like it’s the eighties all over again. Lead by the enigmatic MC Respektor, local Helsinki hardcore outfit RATFACE focuses on finer things in life. Like getting wasted and playing loud hardcore. Local black metal stalwarts BAPTISM will also be taking part in next summer’s unholy festivities.

Confirmed acts for Tuska 2017, so far:

Friday 30.6.
Suicidal Tendencies, Mayhem, Wintersun, Insomnium, Brujeria, Anneke Van Giersbegen’s Vuur, Barathrum, Baptism, Trap Them, Kohti Tuhoa, Ratface

Saturday 1.7.
HIM, Amorphis, Mokoma, Electric Wizard, Avatarium

Sunday 2.7.
Apocalyptica plays Metallica by four cellos, Sonata Arctica, Dirkschneider, Baroness, Battle Beast, Oranssi Pazuzu

More bands to be announced soon.

Tuska tickets are sold by Tiketti, Ticketmaster, Lippu.fi and Festicket.
