EMAXSAUN 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Any fans of the Finnish Metal band Sonata Arctica? I have personally been into them since 2000, and they have their 5th studio album, Unia, coming out at the end of the May. Anyone else into them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2007 Since 200, eh? So they're the OG's of Finnish metal? And they've only released 5 albums in the past 1,807 years? Damn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMAXSAUN 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2007 Oops, my mistake. 2000. But for real, anyone else into them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2007 Never heard of them, but since you put up with my stupid response, I'll download something of theirs and post my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cd213 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2007 I am a fan of them. I don't like everything they have done but I do own 3 of the 4 albums that are out right now. When the new comes out I'll have to pick it up. As far as Finish metal goes, I'm more of a LORDI fan. Similar to the sound of Sonata though, I really like Iced Earth, DragonForce, Dream Evil, Nevermore and Nightwish more then them. I would however, love to see Sonata when they come to New York but I will be working when they show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMAXSAUN 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2007 I've seen Sonata twice live so far, one time in NYC and one time near my college in Rochester. I am going to try to make the NYC show for sure. Their new album got leaked and it is very interesting but good overall and I will defiantly buy it when it is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Decent metal band... I thought they started off really good with Ecliptica and Silence, but tapered off with their last two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Yeah, they're pretty decent. Really popular amongst the small metalhead crowd in South Florida, as is a lot of power metal and Dragonforce for some unknown reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Quite odd for Florida being a power metal area, since Death Metal is mainly huge down there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 19, 2007 I said South Florida, completely different than the rest of Florida. The main focus on music that's not Latin there is on rap/hip-hop or techno/club/dance. If you're into rock, you usually listen to terrible clearchannel mainstream shit, and if you're into any metal at all, it's likely to be power. Death metal starts from about northern Broward county on upwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
