SemiLive and Grey Beard Concerts & Management have announced SONATA ARCTICA’s and LOST SOCIETY’s live stream gigs which will be streamed on semilive.fi in May.
Both of the bands will do two shows; the first one aimed for the fans in America, the second one for the audiences in Europe and the UK.
Lost Society, representing the new generation of crossover thrash metal, released their fourth studio album “No Absolution” in February. Due to the current situation, the actual album release show and following tour naturally had to be moved further to the unknown future. Now the band has decided to play the new album in it’s entirety so the fans are able to hear and see the album performed live in their own living room.

”It took a while for us to set this up but finally, we’re ready to take the plunge into the world of live streaming. We wanted to make sure we had something special, and since our Acoustic Adventures has only been done in Europe before, we decided that this is a good way to start. We’re doing 2 shows with a slightly different selection of songs and we found an awesome location called Mustakari, so this will surely be something new for us. We’re really excited about this!! Stay safe!”, comments keyboard wizard Henrik Klingenberg.
This all will be streamed in May through semilive.fi.

Finnish melodic metal titans SONATA ARCTICA released their 10th studio album »Talviyö« (“Winter Night”), last Friday through Nuclear Blast. After unveiling the official music video for new track ‘Who Failed The Most,’ the group has now launched the final episode of their track by track trailer series, in which vocalist Tony Kakko and guitarist Elias Viljanen discuss the second half of the record:
06. Who Failed The Most 07. Ismo’s Got Good Reactors 08. Demon’s Cage 09. A Little Less Understanding 10. The Raven Still Flies 11. The Garden
01. Message From The Sun 02. Whirlwind 03. Cold 04. Storm The Armada 05. The Last Of The Lambs 06. Who Failed The Most 07. Ismo’s Got Good Reactors 08. Demon’s Cage 09. A Little Less Understanding 10. The Raven Still Flies 11. The Garden
»Talviyö« was recorded between September 2018 and May 2019, produced by Mikko Tegelman and SONATA ARCTICA in Studio57. Additional recordings took place in various other places. “Mikko produced the album and he really managed to push us to do our best, even with the more experimental stuff. Working with an outside producer was the biggest new thing we tried this time,” says keyboardist Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg. The mixing was done by Mikko Tegelman and Pasi Kauppinen and the mastering was handled by Svante Forsbäck (Chartmakers Mastering).
The band is currently touring North American tour (w/ KAMELOT and BATTLE BEASTamong others). The extensive run will be followed by a string of homeland shows as well as a European headline tour with support coming from EDGE OF PARADISE and TEMPLE BALLS. All dates can be found below.

Today, melodic metal titans SONATA ARCTICA herald the start of the cold season as the group releases their 10th studio album »Talviyö« (“Winter Night”), through Nuclear Blast. To mark the occasion, the Finns have launched a brand new music video for ‘Who Failed The Most’, which was produced by renowned director Patric Ullaeus (rEvolver Film Company; DIMMU BORGIR, ENSLAVED, IN FLAMES etc.). Watch it over here:
Keyboardist Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg states, “The wait is finally over, now all of you will hear what we’ve been working on for the past year or so as we present our latest album »Talviyö.« It was quite an experience getting this album ready for you guys and for the first time ever, we had some outside help from our very own Mikko Tegelman who produced the album. We focused on playing live this time and I think the album really captures how SONATA ARCTICA sounds like today. It will be a blast to go out and perform this new music alongside selected cuts from our catalogue. See you soon and meanwhile we hope you enjoy the album as much as we did making it.
“It’s also time for the second video of »Talviyö.« ‘Who Failed The Most’ is one of the more approachable songs on the album and we worked with Patric Ullaeus once again to create the video. We took advantage of the nice Finnish summer and shot our performance outside for a change, which turned out quite cool. You’ll probably hear this song throughout the »Talviyö World Tour« that’s starting right now in North America and from there we’ll continue to Europe and the rest of the world. Cheers!”
Additionally, the band is about to embark on a North American tour (w/ KAMELOT and BATTLE BEAST among others). The extensive run, which starts in Margate, FL tonight, will be followed by a string of homeland shows as well as a European headline tour with support coming from EDGE OF PARADISE and TEMPLE BALLS. All dates can be found below.
