EMAXSAUN 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2003 Hey, I was wondering if anyone else listened to Sonata Arctica. They are a power/speed/melodic metal band from Finland and they are pretty talented. Check them out at http://www.sonataarctica.info/ and http://www.citylite.net/ Anyone else a fan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2003 I like their cover of Helloween's "I Want Out" and their "Fade to Black" is decent, if different. Outside of that, I've never been big into them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2003 I break power metal bands into 2 categories: 1. The unique PM bands who produce a great number of individual songs, and 2. The rest (one or two standout songs, but forget about the majority of their work) I put SA into the second one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2003 I checked them out based on Agent hating them, and I can't see his problem with them. Is it the melodies? The epic story telling? A wide range of vocals and sounds? I suppose that's it. There's not enough rectal blood loss and urrggh furrgghh krggg KAAAAHHH for his tastes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
