Album Notes & Community Reviews
Finnish veterans Sonata Arctica steer further away from their frantic power metal origins with the mid-tempo, highly atmospheric 'Talviy枚'. The album emphasizes complex vocal harmonies and a distinctly melancholic, winter-themed aesthetic over traditional heavy metal speed.
