Vocalist Tony Kakko comments: “Our newest adventure is only a final touch short of being ready. The recordings went extremely well and the mixing is in schedule. Have to say I am enjoying myself greatly. I’ve had a very hard and work filled two year period writing the songs while touring extensively with our previous album “The Days of Grays”. But it has all been worth it! Yet again we are introducing new things to keep the music alive and interesting. New elements, styles and new moods, talented quest artists and ideas for the enjoyment of the loyal friends of our music. Can’t wait for you to get your hands and ears on “Stones Grow Her Name”! Hope to see you all again on tour! Be well!“

Gunnar Sauermann, journalist of the German „Metal Hammer“ was one of the first media people, listening to the rough mix, presented at the FME last weekend. He comments: “Sonata Arctica was never more exiting and more versatile, as on “Stones Grow Her Name”. Every single song is a hit!“
