"It'll be really great to see where it'll go from here! Thanks a lot for buying the album!!!"
And to clink the champagne glasses, SONATA ARCTICA now releases a new lyric video for their ballad "We Are What We Are".
"Our third single from our latest album The Ninth Hour will once again be a totally different kind of song from the first two. We decided to showcase this ballad since it's a beautiful song with a special kind of feel to it. Enjoy!"
