Product Description
Introduction Sonata Arctica vocalist Tony Kakko's new band, Himmelkraft, has released its debut album! Based on a fictional mythology, this album is fantastic in both concept and sound, making it a truly grand and epic work! There is probably no power metal fan who does not know the name Tony Kakko. Needless to say, he is the frontman of Sonata Arctica, one of Finland's leading metal bands. This Himmelkraft is the new band that Tony has started. The concept of their debut album is based on a fictional mythology, with fictional characters and a fictional band performing. In order to maintain the mystique, the members participating in this work have not been revealed at all, except for Tony. In fact, it seems that Tony originally wanted to keep his own participation a secret as well, but he was persuaded by his management, who said, "If you keep it a secret, we won't be able to promote the album," and agreed to reveal only his involvement. The sound, true to its concept, is extremely symphonic, fantastical, and epic, incorporating plenty of synthesizers into heavy tracks. Tony's vocal abilities need no further explanation; he brilliantly fulfills the role of a storyteller, conveying a meticulously crafted world. This is a grand-scale album overflowing with a different kind of charm than Sonata Arctica.
