Unia

Sonata Arctica

A dense, theatrical pivot into progressive metal. Layers of avant-garde vocals and shifting time signatures create a beautiful, claustrophobic nightmare.

May 23, 2007 · Magnum Music

A restless, theatrical exploration of the subconscious that feels both grand and deeply claustrophobic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, multi-tracked vocal counterpoint in the middle of Caleb that feels like voices arguing in a hallway.
The sudden transition from the aggressive riffing of The Harvest into its unsettlingly bright, circus-like chorus.
The way the piano and strings swell into a mournful, cinematic finale on Good Enough Is Good Enough.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

Anxious saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
