This is following up The Ninth Hour dating back to 2016.

Sorry about that ahaha! That’s a very wise choice. They were like: “You know that is the name, that’s what it should be called”.

AAs a sad joke I threw it in: “Ok Talviyö” which means “ winter night”, because it’s gonna be a nightmare for a lot of people outside of Finland to pronounce. The guys told that it’s really boring and I was like : “Ok” and nobody suggested anything else. It means winter and that’s what you have on the cover and it shouldn’t be too mysterious really. So I was suggesting : “We should just name it Talvi”. For some reason I felt I wanted to have a simple name – still at that point ahaha – I was searching on Google translate for different words for “ winter”, you know different languages and everything and then I ultimately came back to the Finnish language because our word “ Talvi” looks really nice. Everything else – the visual side – was ready, it just needed the name. The name of the album was the last thing that we chose or I chose for the album. Let’s talk about the reasons behind choosing a title in Finnish and explain a little bit of its meaning and inspiration.Then the rest of the songs are pretty much normal Sonata Arctica stuff, something to do with normal life, the interaction with other human beings basically. One song is about the mythology surrounding the Northern lights. I don’t even know how many songs we have there right now. So we’ve been carrying that story along, rewriting how it should go and how it goes for many many times. It’s not a concept album, so all the songs are basically about something different but really loosely you can say that there are three songs that are somehow environmental versus political decisions inclined, they are in that direction and there’s one song that continues the Caleb Saga that started already with our second album Silence with The End Of This Chapter song. Let’s talk about the lyrical themes and concepts discussed in the record.Īlright. Congratulations for achieving your tenth studio album TALVIYÖ you are set to release on September 6th. Likewise, happy to be here, enjoying the night. It’s a honour and pleasure to speak with you. Hey, how are you? I’m good, what about you? I’m doing good, thanks.
