Talviyö

Sonata Arctica

Organic, mid-tempo metal recorded with a live rhythm section. A warm, wintry collection of stories that trades high-speed shredding for atmospheric depth.

September 4, 2019 · Nuclear Blast

A quiet, snowy introspection that replaces aggressive power with a warm, organic melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The intricate, playful instrumental interplay during the folk-infused Ismo’s Got Good Reactors.
The shift into a haunting, atmospheric slow-burn on the seven-minute centerpiece The Raven Still Flies With You.
The unusually dry and punchy drum fill that opens Message From the Sun, signaling a departure from over-polished metal production.
