On March, 28th the new SONATA ARCTICA album 'Pariah’s Child' will be released. It is the band’s eight studio album and the follow up to their successful 'Stones Grow Her Name'. Today the beautiful cover artwork for 'Pariah’s Child' is released. Vocalist Tony Kakko explains he thoughts behind the album title and the artwork like this: “As always it's pretty hard coming up with a name for the new baby. I tried to approach it from many angles; how this is our 8th album and how easy it would be to abuse that fact. All the symbolism of figure eight, eternity and so on. But that just did not feel right as it's been done so many times. Then I started to think how we'd in ways abandoned our "totem animal", the wolf and all what comes with the territory. As the music on the album is bowing more towards the "old" Sonata, meaning more power metal style elements and wolves in many of the songs in one form or another, it was clear we need a wolf on the cover. An abandoned wolf. A pariah. Or Pariah's child, actually. The new generation to bring the old logo back.”

We had a few different ones to choose from, but when we saw this one, we knew it was the right one for this album”, adds Pär Sundström.
