Sonata Arctica: yet another great Finnish band!

Review Score: (10/10)
This new album by the Finnish atmospheric metal band Sonata Arctica is simply amazing. Out of the genre of atmospheric Power Metal, it is probably the best album that has come out. This CD is my introduction to the band. I bought it, knowing it was good. A friend had burned the CD for me, but I bought it anyway, because I like the music and band so much. Anyone who likes the bands Symphony X, Rhapsody, Blind Guardian or Nightwish should go to the store as soon as possible and get this album. For everyone else in the metal world, this is a killer album, that you probably don't want to miss checking out.
