Sonata Arctica, Thunderstone, Striker

After 17 years of band history, which brought the wolf-affine Finns of classic Power Metal to more progressive sounds, with ‘Pariah's Child’ also back to their roots, the fans know that where SONATA ARCTICA stands, but SONATA ARCTICA is also good for surprises.

Arch Enemy - “As the Stages Burn“ Tour - Support : The Haunted

ARCH ENEMY to the Hellraiser. Although the base of ARCH ENEMY is definitely in Death Metal, it is the sophisticated melodies and the two-part guitar running that determine the sound from the beginning.
