Hailing from Finland, Sonata Arctica was one of the revelations of the year 1999 . The young band played very fast tempo melodies , enhanced by splendid keyboards and breathtaking guitar lines. "Ecliptica" was their first full-length album and was the beginning of the arctic phenomenon.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that more than the musical performance shown throughout the entire album, the most important aspect of "Ecliptica" is the songs themselves. Every track on that album is catchy as it can be, the choruses are grand, the solos fantastic and innovative, even the vocals rule. I mean, anyone who listened to that album at some point has to remember at least two or three songs of "Ecliptica" nowadays, and that without being necessary a fan of the band.

Found this album quite late and was surprised I was still able to discover a power metal that was great.

If this album could be described in only a single word...? Masterpiece. Every riff, beat and cheesy power metal screams are just perfect, from the first drum beats of Blank File, through the catchy speed, addded with the powerfull Tony vocal habilities in the ballads, is magnific. A trip into the cheesy world of power metal, and certainly the album that best defines the genre, in my opinion. It's sad that everything after it changed. Well, let's replay this album on and on... and at least we have the demo tapes. Neverthless, a masterpiece.
