  Sonata Arctica

  Sonarta Arctica are a heavy metal band hailing from Kemi, Finland who formed in 1995. Still going strong in their third decade together, the band are one of the most commercially succesful power metal bands in the world.

• Stratovarious

  Only the truly dedicated can keep the flame burning for nearly four decades. With an abundance of creative vigour and endless class, Stratovarius have earned the right to be considered true legends.

  Emerging from a vibrant metal ‘80s metal scene, Stratovarius swiftly made their mark with early albums like gritty debut Fright Night (1989) and its more sophisticated follow-up Twilight Time (1992). Stratovarius spent the decade becoming increasingly successful, effectively defining the European power metal sound single-handedly and touring relentlessly all over the world. Meanwhile, a steady succession of acclaimed albums, including certified genre benchmarks like Visions (1997) and Destiny (1998), broke the melodic mould.

  Despite multiple line-up changes, the Stratovarius spirit always remained proud and true, and a new millennium ushered in the band’s most productive period yet. Recent years have seen Stratovarius sustain their exalted status as power metal gods, with each successive album adding new shades to the band’s melodic colour spectrum, while always delivering the jolting dose of heavy metal power that fans demand. Finland’s finest have been resolute in delivering the goods.

  Fast forward to 2022 and Stratovarius are making up for lost time. Seven years after the release of Eternal, Finland’s melodic masters have finally conjured a new, full-length album, Survive.

  Lost Society

  Pounding riffs weighing several tons? Check! Catchy choruses and symphonic flashes? Check! Relentless eruptions of utterly chaotic, yet catchy modern metal? Check! Passionate performances by elaborate musicians? Check!

  You got it right: over the last twelve adrenaline-filled years, braindead™ Finnish cannonball squad LOST SOCIETY has been fearlessly exploring the lights and shadows of the world of heavy metal. Still, despite the dirty deeds of the past years and the praise of legendary colleagues such as Kreator's Mille Petrozza and Sepultura's Andreas Kisser, it now feels like the band's rocket is just about to take off.

  Enter 2022. The epochs of darkness have just been left behind...

  LOST SOCIETY – featuring guitarist Arttu Lesonen, bassist Mirko Lehtinen and drummer Taz Fagerström as well – is about to unleash the most ambitious, versatile and innovative record of their career. Well, so far.

  If The Sky Came Down is a bona fide example of what may happen when utterly talented musicians recognize the magnificent feeling: we are capable of reaching the heavy metal skies.

  The definitive nail in the coffin is the record's spectacular closer Suffocating. There are cold shivers down the listener's spine as Samy Elbanna spits fragile but powerful lines such as "only death can heal me" and "the air is pure but I'm suffocating".

  The lyrics may sometimes be secondary in the mystical realms of rock 'n' roll, but If The Sky Came Down heads out to another highway – and certainly not just within the unique serenity of aforementioned Suffocating.

  And now the rockets are about to be launched again... What does the future look like?
