SONATA ARCTICA - premiere official music video for latest digital single, 'Dark Empath'; new studio album »Clear Cold Beyond« out next month!
Leading the way to their highly anticipated new offering »Clear Cold Beyond« (to be released on March 8, 2024 through Atomic Fire), Finnish melodic metallers SONATA ARCTICA surprise fans with a brand new music video today. Their latest track, 'Dark Empath,' can now also be enjoyed in all its visual glory over on YouTube. Telling the story of a character being chased, both mentally and physically, the haunting result, which was created by a team led by director/script writer Miikka Lommi and producer Katja Jokinen, can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/gxwKBpdin0Y
Singer Tony Kakko commented on 'Dark Empath': "This track is part of a saga that started with the song 'The End Of This Chapter' on our second album »Silence« in 2001 -- some even think it started on our debut album -- and has many sequels and prequels already. Its stalker theme offers a frame to write songs in a certain style I like very much. People do not seem to mind this, fortunately, haha! It's not a chronological story, but rather a theme with reoccurring, familiar characters that end up living through variations of the theme over and over again."
