SONATA ARCTICA Issues “Pariah’s Child” Track Listing

Wednesday, 15th January 2014 By Dead Rhetoric

Finnish melodic metallers SONATA ARCTICA have revealed the track listing for their forthcoming new album, Pariah’s Child, which is due March 28th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Comments SONATA ARCTICA vocalist Tony Kakko: “There are some instant SONATA ‘greatest-hits’ songs there, which feels good.I think we reached the result we had in mind, each of us in our own field. We went on to create the next SONATA ARCTICA power metalesque album and I think we achieved it adequately.

“I have to say that I had drifted pretty far away from those ‘days of thunder,’ that speedy, happy-go-lucky attitude. I was happy to notice this style can still make me smile. It’s good. Music has to do that to me. It also shows the other older songs in a totally new light for me. I can now understand and appreciate why the fans enjoy what we did in the early days.”

Pariah’s Child track listing:

1. The Wolves Die Young
2. Running Lights
3. Take One Breath
4. Cloud Factory
5. Blood
6. What Did You Do In The War, Dad?
7. Half A Marathon Man
8. X Marks The Spot
9. Love
10. Larger Than Life

SONATA ARCTICA last August parted ways with bassist Marko Paasikoski and replaced him with Pasi Kauppinen (SILENT VOICES, ex-REQUIEM, WINTERBORN).
