Why did Jani leave Sonata Arctica?

I started to lose interest in Sonata Arctica, and it started to affect my interactions with the band members. Simply put, I lost interest in it. Actually, there wasn't much drama. Not at all, despite what everyone would like to believe as that would increase magazine sales significantly (laughs).


Where is the band Sonata Arctica from?

Kemi, Finland


Is Sonata Arctica Symphonic metal?

Symphonic metal is a frequent feature in Sonata Arctica's music, while progressive metal is a feature of some of their later albums.

The band changed their name to Sonata Arctica two months after inking a three-album agreement with Spinefarm because they thought their former moniker wouldn't help metal records sell, and Spinefarm requested the change.
