"I Have A Right" was the very last song I wrote for this album. At that
point Tommy had already played his last track for "Stones Grow Her Name," gotten ready to go to sauna AND opened his first beer for that night, when I sms'd him to check his e-mail and record yet one more "easy track".

He was mildly pissed. And perhaps fueled by that he nailed the song on the first take. It was a very emotional moment for him, I was told. The song
hits home, if you know the subject and can relate to the subject.

To put it short it's a song about how we should not pass the burden we get
from the past generation on the shoulders of our future offspring. Children's rights subject. Not the most metal subject ever, I suppose, but
then again I think it fits our band well and is pretty universal. Funny to
actually have fans from each age group this songs speaks about. Let's see what comes of it.

Choosing the first single and video from this album was not very easy this
time around as we had so many candidates. The best possible problem to have! "I Have A Right" won the vote.

The playing parts for this video were shot in our home town Kemi, here in
Finland. The location was an old, abandoned school building. Somehow
spooky and COLD. It was mid march. Could say we were lucky the weather was unseasonably warm, yet way below zero.

Director Tuukka Temonen and his crew did a great job with editing and all
the additional footage. All in all, from my point of view, this was the
easiest ever Sonata Arctica video to make. No 12 hours standing in a room filled with bird shit, no freezing my ass off on the ice in the middle of
the sea from 8am to 10pm, or running in the woods in the middle of the
night and not sleeping for 48 hours...had all that with the past videos. I
am more than pleased. I hope you like the song and video as much as we do.

See you on tour, folks!

This weeks releases and concerts

Wer sich diese Woche ne Tüte Metall reinziehen will, muss aufpassen, dass er auch am richtigen Ort steht. Denn das Overkill Konzert wurde nämlich vom Volkshaus Zürich ins SoundDok 14 nach Dietikon verschoben. Vielleicht gehe ich dahin. Mal schauen.
Und ich komme am Freitag endlich in den Genuss Bonafide live zu sehen und zwar im Rock City Uster.

Zu den neuen Scheiben gibt's nicht sehr viel Erwähnenswertes zu sagen. Schmeissen wir halt nochmal ne Runde Maxxwell und Shakra in den Player. \m/

Ich find's eigentlich nicht so berauschend. Es fehlt das gewisse Etwas. Oder was meint ihr??
