[pignugent]

:O single comes out in five days! (almost four)

[synastikki]

it comes out 4th of september...

[pignugent]

Actually, the single is going to be released in FInland on August 26th. I was still wrong though; off by two days.

[synastikki]

"The single "Flag In The Ground" will have its premiere on the band's MySpace page on September 4". Taken directly from their Myspace and homepage...

[pignugent]

I'm talking about The Last Amazing Grays single. I probably should have posted it on The Last Amazing Grays video, but the single has "The Last Amazing Grays", "Flag In The Ground", and the orchestral version of "The Last Amazing Grays". At least that's what I remember reading two weeks ago.

[synastikki]

you're correct about that yes... but the Flag in the Ground on that single is the video edit version... and is released today

[pignugent]

And that's what I was excited about. Either way, I'll probably buy both. :]

[cornixregina]

It's already there - it premiered yesterday or today - I just watched it :)

[heavyblackbull]

i can say for this video that the finnish people is hmm shy?? trying to express the euphoria of listen the first single of the new album of Sonata Arctica..for my part, if i had been there, i would have jumped and screamed and express my feelings for the music with all my soul =P

thanks for the video, is really a wonderfull video, like your country man:D

[MrSonatafragger]

Absolutely amazing, can't wait to add this one to my Sonata discography.

[finlad87]

[derKANZLERRR]

hmmm. ordered it some days ago. Think, its getting little bit back to the roots. No bullsh*** like unia. I hate this album. But the new stuff i heard sounds great.

[keysofgears]

Unia a Bullshit ? hahaha ignorant :/

[StewieSwan]

Open your ears. Unia is a fantastic album

[Zush123]

Totally ordering this album the day it is out. this is awesome!

[conal19844444]

I just can't get enough of the Guitar and Keyboard solos at 3:06

[wtfimalive]

ohh SHITTTTT awesome!

[rzalan13]

Sonata Arctica is the best...

[NorthFear]

Can't wait!!! Please, answer on one question: when the music video on this song will be on YouTube????

[foxtrada]

Well, the release date of the single is 26.08.2009 - that's in two weeks - so I guess we can expect the music video to show up here somewhere around that time.

[NorthFear]

Thanks for information. Your video is AWESOME

[kinoc12]

probably out within a few weeks, the making of flag in the ground tony said they were done with the band's part i think, so it should be soon after the days of grays is actually released

[ahorwood]

Thanks for uploading this. It seems like I have been waiting for years for this album.

[AngelNegroMetal]

years? theyre only 2

[osmosisbrent]

Now I'm gonna have a boner from here until September 22nd.

[ravuno]

I'm crying happy tears right now!

[AsaStarfire]

Sounds like it's gonna be great.

And good job recording it =)

[metalrockchild]

I NEED that album

[dunno90]

Cool! I just want to hear the entire CD NOW!! xDD

[anotherstrangerme]

Kyllä digikameralla myös sai kuvata. Ei ainakaan kukaan ainakaan mulle sanonut mitään vaikka kyllä järkkäri näki että kuvasin :P

[Niradnam]

hei, eihän tuol saanut KUVATA!!

tuostahan keikasta nimittäin tulee dvd sit, niin sen takia ei saanut kuvata. mut näköjään jotku sit kuvas.

itse olin tääl, mut kaukana lavasta ja silti meinasin muutaman kerran saada "sydärin"..

ja oli kaveri mukana, mut se meni lähemmäs lavaa ja se olikin sit keikan jälkeen ihan fiiliksessä.

paras keikka kuulemman missä se mun kaveri on ollut.

[foxtrada]

Järkkäreillä kuvaaminen oli kielletty, ja siitä ainakin yhdelle tyypille käytiin sanomassakin. Puhelimella kuvaaminen ei käsittääkseni ollut kielletty eikä siitä kyllä kukaan tullut sanomaankaan mitään.

[VastFarFlung]

I like this folk thing. =D

[CruelZacrifize]

They kinda sound a bit folk but its still awsome :D

[ronster500]

Thanks - it will be December before they come to the UK so appreciate seeing this now. Song is a little reminiscent of 'The Cage'.

[ElvenElfofMetal]

Is that with Dragonforce or seperate ?

[kinoc12]

anyone who randomly mentions dragonforce on a metal video is immediately down voted for some reason

[dragonforce2510]

well sonata arctica obviously like dragonforce as do many many others. they are touring with them anyways. so those people are just nobs lol. they ruin the youtube experience

[ElvenElfofMetal]

Yer that's a bit unfair, i forgot i even made that comment, i wasn't even comparing the two bands, i was simple asking if Sonata Arctica would be supporting Dragonforce in the U.K. as they had in America and as they both have U.K tours, i thought they might be on the same bill, (turns out there not)

[ElvenElfofMetal]

Its irritating when people randomly mention Dragonforce on other power metal band's video's, like there the only band they have heard of, but my comment was a valid question (it's a few pages away now) !! So for everybodies information, i've never played guitar hero and i was into bands like Rhapsody, Helloween, Nightwish and Firewind a good two years before i'd even heard of Dragonforce..... yes i am pissed off !!

[sonatans]

Talk about DF in DF vids,not in vids from other bands.. GO SONATA!<3

[lulalely]

2:54 nice

[CoBFanDF]

It's gonna be hot! :D

[Mephioge]

LEVY TÄNNE HETINYT

[watchlion]

SA you are the best!!! PLEASE COME TO ARGENTINA we want you here !!

[Marinartica]

Already in love with the song ! Thank you for this video ! =)

[anotherstrangerme]

Awesome song and awesome gig! Haha, I was in the middle of second row and the girls around me already knew the lyrics and sang along the whole song :o :D

[MaaOonIhminen]

Haha, I may be one of those girls :D I was in the middle of the second row, too, and singing along. Holy shit... it was too wonderful gig! Love them. "Ei se nyt ihan nii huonosti menny, eihän." NO EI TODELLAKAAN.

[anotherstrangerme]

Are you blonde and did you stand next to a dark haired girl with glasses and behind a tall brown-haired girl? xD If you are, you were standing next to me ^^

[MaaOonIhminen]

Well I have light brown hair, I don't know if you think it's blonde or not :P Uh... I'm so bad at remembering people and what they look like, but let me think... I remember that behind me there were two girls with Unia-shirts. And couple rows behind me, there was a long, black-haired man. And in front of me was a tall brown-haired girl :D

[anotherstrangerme]

Then it must have been you :P Maybe I remembered wrong about the hair color :P I remember tle long, black-haired man and the tall brown-haired girl too :P I was behind her at first, but I didn't see very much so I managed to move a bit :P

Can't wait for the new album and I hope for a Finland-tour soon :)<3

[MaaOonIhminen]

Hehe :D Yeah can't wait for the album... AND the DVD!

[lalamik]

Dvd, is what about?

[MaaOonIhminen]

They will make a DVD of this concert.

[nocturnalconcerto89]

Really???? So can't wait!

[lalamik]

This Concert live at Kemi? :O because I don't See Any Cameras Filming Them?

[19Nis92]

There was 1 camera between stage and the crowd which filmed the gig. It will come as some kind of bonus-material for their next DVD.

[nocturnalconcerto89]

Can't wait for the new album!

[MariuxGrandeSaggio]

I saw the making of the video of this beautiful song and I think it will be one of the new successful songs of Sonata, with "The Last Amazing Grays!"! :D XD

[kakkerlak1991]

Great song, however I prefer more The Last Amazing Grays than this... Looking forward to single...:p

[DeadAngel2705]

really good one <3

can`t wait to see 'em live for the 3rd time

<3

[turanya]

cannot WAIT for this album!!!!

[AsaStarfire]

Can't wait for the album to be released =)

[AngelLenwe]

*_____________________________­_____*

[mujicairon]

Gran cancion , son los mejores !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drexxin]

Excellence. I expect nothing less out of these guys. Can't wait for their new album and to see them live again.

[Gigodem]

gotta love the internet, performed just a few hours ago and now online, gotta love it.

anyway great song cant wait for the album and them touring europe

[Petesama]

Sounds pretty kickass, will be lovely to listen to a Clean song, but very good recording, thank you for it

[conal19844444]

OMFG!! Sonata you beasts!!

[123456789trg]

OMG IT SOUNDS GREAATT!!!

[Ros3ofWint3r]

OMFGGGGGGGGG!

[Splize]

Mahtava biisi, aivan mahtava show kokonaisuudessaan!!

[VastFarFlung]

Sonata. Guys. Give us the single. You're killing us.

[Murajay]

Itkettää kyllä etten päässyt keikalle, olisin kuollakseni halunnut sinne. Epäilemättä se oli parhaita keikkoja ikinä ja tämä kappale antaa kyllä loistavan kuvan siitä. Uusi kappale kuulostaa sanoinkuvaamattoman upealta, enemmän siltä perinteiseltä Sonatalta kuin Unian kappaleilta ja juuri siltä miltä olen pitkään kuvitellut tämän uuden kuulostavankin. Rakastuin tähän kappaleeseen ensi kuulemalta, kiitos sinulle, kun lisäsit tämän. 8)

[tigerseye94]

Mieki olisin voinu vaikka heittää tuolin ikkunasta, ku en päässy keikalle. Olis ollu unelmien täyttymys päästä sinne. Olisin ollu seitsemässä taivaassa seuraavat kaks kuukautta:D... Ja uus kappale kuulostaa hyvältä.. Elementtejä Reckoning Nightilta ja Unialta. Aivan mahtava. Kiitos, kun lisäsit!

[foxtrada]

Kyllä, loistava kappale on. Itselle maistuu myös Unia, mutta tämän tyyppiset ovat kyllä niitä parhaimpia. The Last Amazing Grays on sitten jostain RN:n ja Unian välimaastosta, ja sekin kyllä kuulostaa hyvältä. Uuden levyn odotukset on aika korkealla, Deathaura herättää kyllä eniten kiinnostusta, toivottavasti se ei petä!

[Murajay]

Unia onkin oikein hieno levy, Sonatan tuotannosta on vaikea valita mieluisin, kun pidän niistä kaikista niin paljon. TLAG kuulostaa sekin hienolta. Hypin seinille uuden levyn odotuksen tuottaman tuskan vuoksi.

Itsekin odotan tulevalta levyltä paljon ja nämä kaksi kappaletta ovat tähän asti jopa ylittäneet odotukseni. Deathaura iski minunkin silmääni kappalelistassa, sitä odotan kaikkein eniten.

[NathMancebo]

OMG! *-*

Thank God I can hear the whole song...

I think I´ll cry D:

[viktor0590]

o_________o'

[LeoMenardo]

Omg i.i

(L)

xupa rossatr00 >D

[foxtrada]

Yeah give us the single already! And I was a bit surprised about the sound quality too, this is recorded with Sony Ericsson W995.

[TareoO]

the qualitiy of sound is ok... didn't expect it so good ^^

very great song =)

[Animelovahr]

Give that damn single for the love of mankind!1!1

[foxtrada]

Oh yeah been listening to making of like hundred times :D But it was even better live!

Ja keikka oli mitä mainioin jälleen kerran!

[dragonsword909]

I like it. since I saw the making of ;)

[BlindLeadr]

Thank you so much for putting this up! =) oliko "edes" hieno keikka?
