Sonata Arctica

Sonata Arctica é uma banda finlandesa de power metal. A banda foi fundada por Tony Kakko, Jani Liimatainen, Tommy Portimo e Pentti Peura na cidade de Kemi em 1996. Com o nome original de Tricky Beans, a banda tocava musicas que em sua maioria eram influenciadas por hard rock e pouco se aproximavam do power metal de hoje.

A primeira música demo para o primeiro contrato com a gravadora Spinefarm Records foi Letter to Dana, escrita por Tony Kakko.
