Sonata Arcticalta uran ensimmäinen akustinen albumi lokakuussa: luvassa myös akustinen kiertue Euroopassa
Kemin metalliylpeys Sonata Arctica on julkaisemassa uransa ensimmäisen akustisen albumin nimeltä ”Acoustic Adventures – Volume One” lokakuussa 2021 Nuclear Blast Recordsin kautta. Yhtye tulee suunnistamaan levyn julkaisun tiimoilta myös akustiselle ”Acoustic Adventures MMXXI” -kiertueelle Eurooppaan. Kiertue alkaa 21. päivä lokakuuta Uppsalasta, Ruotsista ja päättyy 4. päivä joulukuuta Speyeriin, Saksaan. Yhtyeen laulaja Tony Kakko kertoo tulevasta albumista seuraavaa:
”This acoustic form of SONATA ARCTICA has been slowly brewing for years. The first manifestation of it, besides the few acoustic versions of songs released throughout the years, was the ’Acoustic Adventures Tour’ in 2019, which proved to be a great success, sparking an idea to get these songs also recorded and out on an album. Or two albums, at least for starters. Our songs have always been based on beautiful melodies, which makes it very easy to transform and rearrange them perfectly into the acoustic form as well. I should mention that many of the songs work so well dressed in acoustic garments.

”’Acoustic Adventures – Volume One’ will be the first part, followed by a second acoustic record, to be released in 2022. I hope you love these albums as much as we do. There are many, many songs we had to leave out of these ’Volume One’ and ’Volume Two’ albums, so nothing would please me more than adding few more volumes in the future. Looking forward to seeing you on tour again as soon as possible!”
Yhtyeen kosketinsoittaja Henrik ”Henkka” Klingenberg kertoo tulevasta akustisesta kiertueesta puolestaan seuraavaa:
”Since our ’Talviyö’ world tour is more or less over, it’s time to look ahead for the next challenge, and since we’ve had so much fun with the acoustic stuff, we decided to make an album as well, and, of course, we will hit the road immediately after that to celebrate the release of it. As of now, we have managed to set up an extensive European tour, and we’re really looking forward to getting out there an play some music for all of you.”
