Woah! Sonata Arctica covers Vanishing Point!!!

[Celestial-Todd]

Yeah so I cut and pasted this from elsewhere... but fuck me!!!!

Finnish melodic metallers SONATA ARCTICA laid down cover versions of VANISHING POINT's "Two Minds One Soul" and DEPECHE MODE's "World In My Eyes" during the recording sessions for the group's new album, "Reckoning Night", due later in the year through Nuclear Blast Records. The album, which is described by the band's vocalist, Tony Kakko, as "heavier and rougher" than its predecessors, is currently being mixed, with plans to complete the sessions by the end of June. Songtitles set to appear on the follow-up to 2003's "Winterheart's Guild" include "White Pearl, Black Oceans...", "The Boy Who Wanted to be a Real Puppet", "Ain't Your Fairytale", "Wrecking the Sphere", "Blinded No More", "Reckoning Day, Reckoning Night" (instrumental) and "My Selene".

The Boy Who Wanted to be a Real Puppet

I have a feeling that is going to be the funniest song ever

That is awesome. Spinal Tap couldn't have come up with a better title!

lmfao I think I just found my new msn name

 

[Goreripper]

If you called yourself that, no one would talk to you. They'd be too busy laughing!

 

[TinMan666]

lets test that theory, shall we?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah it was mentioned on here a while back that a high profile power metal band would be covering Vanishing Point in the future. Pretty strange really.

 

[Goreripper]

lets test that theory, shall we?

I know if I get a copy of the new SA album for my radio show, I won't be able to play that song because I know that trying to back announce it would cause me to break into a laughing fit I may well never recover from.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Now that I gotta hear!

 

[The Amazer]

it's sheer fucking poetry.

 

[MeKaChrOme]

oh boy, i reckon that cover is gonna be a shocker....

 

[Penelope]

Sonata Arctica have done some good covers, and they toured part of Europe with Vanishing Point a couple of years ago. Maybe that's why.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I don't care what anybody else says about it, I really wanna hear how it sounds!

 

[MeKaChrOme]

yeah i'm curious.... should be interesting!

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Just bumping up an old thread... I haven't heard the cover yet, but I have the new album and I think it's by far their best one ever! So many awesome songs but the stand-outs are "Misplaced", "Don't Say A Word" and "White Pearl/Black Oceans"

And although I haven't looked into it that much... the lyrics seem to have improved alot!

 

[The Amazer]

what's "The Boy who wanted to be a Real Puppet" sound like? Is it a classchic?

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Actually I don't it's that bad really.... given the subject matter

Then again, from what I can tell W.P/B.O is about a lazy lighthouse keeper!

 

[Goreripper]

*glug*

 

[MeKaChrOme]

they've improved, but i still reckon it's not that great an album, especially given the hype around these guys in europe. the lyrics have improved, but they're still horrid in some cases.. and some of the songs sound so ... what's the word... childish or something, i can't put my finger on it!!

Actually, he was out getting shagged :Spin:



Man, Sonata rule so bad, in an even badder way. I wanna see them and then maybe move to Finland and exercise Everyman's Right.

I made a drawing the other day of the boy who wanted to be a real puppet, I should post it here, but I probably shouldn't. It had Tony in it.
