Speaking of keys, Henkka adds a massive amount of heaviness throughout the album with his virtuosic playing. Jangly clean strat-type guitars dance around a heavily distorted bass and madly tango’s with piano parts. While the guitars are mostly acoustic, there are a few clean electric guitars abound, namely on the song “ The Wolves Die Young ”.

Musing with flowing rhythm, singer Tony Kakko bleeds emotion so strongly that he almost leaps from the speaker in an impassioned plea to the listener. This leads into the track “ For the Sake of Revenge ” which presents as though it came from a Danny Elfman soundtrack. Glorious though subtle tension builds in the verses that suspend in bridges and hint at resolve before breaking into euphoric, grand choruses. Sonata Arctica have taken the very best parts of their catalog appropriate for this setting and meticulously developed them to create something that sounds like performance and not production.īeginning with the goosebump-inducing “ The Rest of the Sun Belongs to Me ” which was originally a Japan-only bonus track off the 2003 album Winterheart Guild, Sonata Arctica quickly establishes what this performance is about. Taking the bones of original songs from across the band’s career, the performances present a fresh perspective that adds a compelling and frankly gorgeous spin absent from the original recordings.īlending a lens reminiscent of Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Dream Theater, contemporary Opeth, and Folk music with the bands’ compositions, This is far from a typical acoustic album. Substituting the tried and true formula of distorted guitars and massive drums for something more intimate. It’s more akin to a re-imagining of the songs performed live in the studio together. The album has a timeless quality about it that conjures the spirit of the late ’70s or ’80s and brings with it an unexpected meditative quality.ĭespite the name “ Acoustic Adventures ”, it’s not entirely an acoustic album. That’s not to say that the songs have completely lost their heaviness but are heavy in an alternative and unique way.

It takes the bands’ signature sound and extracts the heaviness to render the songs in a breathtaking new light. “ Acoustic Adventures ” Volume One by Sonata Arctica is a sprawling and beautiful compilation of tunes from throughout the bands’ career performed in a series of stripped-back renditions.
