Ecliptica

Sonata Arctica

High-speed Finnish power metal defined by crystalline synths and soaring vocals. A landmark of melodic speed with a distinctively chilly, melancholic atmosphere.

August 29, 1999 · Фоно

A frantic, high-energy rush of neoclassical power metal tempered by a deep, northern melancholy.

The way the vocals reach a desperate, soaring peak during the final chorus of Replica.
The lightning-fast unison solo between the guitar and keyboard in 8th Commandment.
