On September 6th, Finnish melodic metal titans Sonata Arctica will release their tenth studio album, entitled “Talviyö” (Winter Night). Just in time for the glorious heatwave we’ll be having this weekend, the band has just released the official video for new single “Cold”.
Watch the video below and get the new single digitally here.
“It’s been a while since we released the first single "A Little Less Understanding" from our upcoming album "Talviyö" and now it’s time to reveal the next piece in the puzzle. This single "Cold" is also our first music video from the album, with more to follow later on. We filmed the video in Tampere with the amazing Patric Ullaeus and we had a blast once again. Just 2 more weeks until the whole album is out, meanwhile enjoy this treat. Cheers!”, comments Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg.
“Talviyö” was recorded between September 2018 and May 2019, produced by Mikko Tegelman and Sonata Arctica in “Studio57”. Additional recordings took place in various other places. “Mikko produced the album and he really managed to push us to do our best, even with the more experimental stuff. Working with an outside producer was the biggest new thing we tried this time”, says Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg. The mixing was done by Mikko Tegelman and Pasi Kauppinen and the mastering was handled by Svante Forsbäck for “Chartmakers”.
