SONATA ARCTICA - New Single Hits Finnish Charts, Gearing Up For World Tour

According to SONATA ARCTICA, the band's new single 'The Last Amazing Grays' entered the official Finnish single charts at #4 this week.

The bands' keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg has issued the following update:

"Our last single 'Paid In Full' took the pole position so naturally the only way from #1 is down :D Right now we're rehearsing new songs for our upcoming US tour so there's really not too much time to dwell on these kinds of things anyway. We've played through around half of the songs from the album and there will be some cool surprises in the setlist. It's been around 10 months since our last proper tour so we're really excited about getting back on the road.
Cheers !!"
