While currently on yet another successful World Tour, this time to support their latest studio-album »Pariah’s Child«, Finnish Melodic Metal heroes SONATA ARCTICA just put out the digital single ‘Kingdom For A Heart’ from their recently re-recorded debut album »Ecliptica«, which was released 15 years ago.
Commented keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg: “When deciding on a single for the upcoming release of the re-recorded »Ecliptica« we wanted to have an upbeat song that would represent overall sound of the album and since ‘Unopened’ was the first SONATA ARCTICA single in history we thought that it was time to pick another song. ‘Kingdom For A Heart’ has been a live favourite for years and I think it showcases the energy and power that SONATA ARCTICA first became known for.”
