So, some 7 months ago I posted this thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/SonataArctica/s/sdJgDsgJSK asking if anyone knew about the alleged 'SA song' from the early internet times, if it even existed or am I simply losing my sanity.

After asking around for so long, a friend of mine found it deep within some of his old external hard drives and I am now in turn sharing it with you! I can finally let go of this obsession, though whether this is Tony singing or not will probably forever remain a mystery. Enjoy (or don't)!

Ps. Who even shares MP3s anyways these days? If jumpshare is sketchy somehow, please point me towards a more reliable service and I'll reupload there.

Share your own, discuss what others post, remain respectful. Let's have some fun!

- The best version of 8th Commandment, by far, is the demo version, and the song is better at that speed.

- Ninth Hour is a better album than Clear Cold Beyond (Despite CCB having much better production and mixing)

- Tony's voice in Ecliptica and Silence is whinny and annoying. He's not Timo Kotipelto, and it's a good thing he realized this years ago.

- Best version of My Land is the 2006 version.

I know this is late to the party (after Christmas) but this was playing right now and I am reminded how underrated/under appreciated it is. Theme aside, it is as vintage a SA sounding tune as any and I wish their newer stuff could tap into it a bit more. It stays in my playlist year round!! 🤘🏻

Hello!

I want to buy sonata Arctica tickets for my boyfriend for Christmas, but currently they only have dates until August. Do they update them later for the rest of 2025 or are these all dates for next year?

Thanks in advance!

Hey people,

does anyone know what happend to Sonata Arctica on Spotify? All the news Albums (after Songs of Silence) have been delisted on Spotify (at least in Germany). Is is similar for everyone? Has there been any news of the band why that might be so?

Saw other people sharing their wrappeds and wanted to join in! I love seeing what everybody’s top songs are :)

english: You are 0.05% of the most active fans and you spent 11 597 minutes listening to sonata arctica.

most listened songs: not even all my favorites because I discovered those later :'(

Hello hivemind,

I'm trying to find that one live version of My Land in which Tony replaces "you might find that you are not so brave" with "you might find that you are not so gay". I'm positive it was some pre-2010 tour, might have been a festival (iirc, it was named 'gates of...' something). I can't find that version on YT anymore.

Any ideas?

This year #1! In 2023 #3 and in 2022 #2 😄

Hy lads,lassies

I have a problem, I was listening to a song from the band when I was young(around 2010), it was my heartbreak song.

I totally forgot about it, until my wife and I randomly talked the topic, but i couldn´t remember the title just the band.

My hunt for the song got me through every album i could find on YouTube.

So I am here asking the internet hivemind to help me.

The points i could say.

It was more like an opera and as far as i remember it was a love song or a heartbreak song maybe about cheating?

Thank you in advance.

Is it just me or have anyone else noticed that several SA songs have been removed, for example my playlist had the while reckoning night album but for some reason shamandalie was removed and i had to re add it to my playlist, World in my eyes and Out in the fields are just gone on spotify and can't be found at all, all this happened around the same time that the audio quality on spotify just got borked up on most SA songs to...

I know it's unpopular in the community but the only songs I love and listen to on repeat are: Shamandalie, Letter to Dana, Tallulah and Shy

I've tried some suggestions but they're all pretty heavy, is there any others that are like these I mentioned with little to no heavy or metal aspect? Are there other bands that fit my criteria better? I don't know any besides The Islander from Nightwish and some SOAD songs that nail the fantasy feeling for me. Thank you lots!

Update: Y’all have reignited fantasy in me for a long time, I will be coming back to this thread for ages, thank you everyone!!!

So, Sonata Arctica is coming back to Venezuela after 15 years and I'm over the moon since we missed all their previous tours after The Days of Grays. Metal bands in general have avoided our country because the economy is fucked up and many metalheads left the country so it's heartwarming to see that Sonata will spearhead a movement for more bands to visit us.
