Tricky Beans kicked their career off twenty years ago\u2026 later on they changed their name to Sonata Arctica<\/strong>, and their first album \u201cEcliptica\u201d was released in 1999. Quickly hereafter becoming one the premiere Finnish representatives in the power metal genre.<\/p>\n

Over the years they\u2019ve established themselves in the scene releasing one solid album after another, always staying safe within the confines of their own little sound universe. Vocalist Tony Kakko has a strong high pitched voice, which quickly became one of their trademarks, the powerful and fast paced guitar riffs another, along with the very dominant and up-front keyboards.<\/p>\n

Their style and sound haven\u2019t changed much over the years, and the persistence and beliefs in their own strengths have been to their advance. So is it more of the same on studio album number nine from Sonata Arctica<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

The cool fast paced melodic power metal hymns are present, just listen to \u201cFairytale\u201d, the cool ballads are there \u201cWe Are What We Are\u201d, \u201cAmong the Shooting Stars\u201d and \u201cCandle Lawns\u201d, and the basic power metal songs are also there\u2026 and they even move outside the box on more than one occasion: \u201cTill Death Do Us Part\u201d and \u201cOn the Faultline (Closure to An Animal)\u201d. And they\u2019ve found room for an 10 minutes epic; a fine sequel to \u201cWhite Pearl, Black Oceans\u2026\u201d (from Reckoning Night).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ninth Hour\u201d is another fine Sonata Arctica<\/strong> take on melodic power metal, with more of the same, within the safe confines and even with some new input\u2026 maybe not their finest hour, but still a fulfilling experience if you like melodic power metal.<\/p>\n

Solid!<\/p>\n
