Tänään Suomessa julkaistavaksi tarkoitetun DVD:n toimituksissa kauppoihin on ollut ongelmia, jotka ovat johtuneet jakeluyhtiön tietojärjestelmistä ja Suomen muista Euroopan maista poikkeavasta julkaisupäivästä. Toimitukset ovat nyt kuitenkin käynnissä ja kauppojen hyllyille DVD saadaan osaan maatamme jo viikonlopuksi.

Pahoittelemme Sonata Arcticalle ja bändin faneille aiheutunutta harmia.

“Live In Finland” will hit stores on November 11th 2011 and can already be pre-ordered at the Nuclear Blast web shop: 

Sonata Arctica yhtye näyttää “Live in Finland” DVD-pakettinsa kohokohdan, keväällä 2011 Oulun Teatriassa kuvatun täysimittaisen keikan, yhtyeen kotikaupungissaan Kemissä. Ennakkonäytös joka on Maailman Ensi-ilta, pidetään Bar Koodissa 3.11.

Ovet aukeavat klo 20.00, näytös alkaa klo 21.00 kestäen noin puolitoista tuntia.
Tapahtuma on kaikille täysi-ikäisille avoin ja tilaisuuteen on vapaa pääsy.

Sonata Arctica taltioi uusimman DVD:nsä massiivisen The Days of Grays-maailmankiertueen aikana. Kiertue kesti 2 vuotta jonka aikana yhtye soitti yli 180 keikkaa 38 maassa. Tupla DVD-paketti sisältää Oulun Teatriassa kuvatun keikan lisäksi runsaasti lisämateriaalia: mm. yhtyeen omalta Sonata Arctica Open Air festivaalilta kuvattua materiaalia, kiertuedokumenttejä, musiikkivideoita seka kuvagallerioita.
Sonata Arctica työstää parhaillaan seitsemättä, vielä nimeämätöntä albumiaan. Sonata Arctican kaikki studioalbumit sekä edellinen DVD ovat myyneet suomessa kulta-levyyn oikeuttavan määrän. Sonata Arctican seuraava maailmankiertue käynnistyy levyn julkaisemisen yhteydessä kevään 2012 lopulla.
