Sonata Arctica Deathaura + Lyrics

[smartieangel12]

Johanna Kurkela needs to sing in English more...

[LMTR14]

shame they don't play this song live, it's easily their best

[Actar411]

@LMTR14 Too many orchestral parts. They would need soo many keyboards . . .

[LMTR14]

this band would be better with a female singer in the roster

[Sun2strider]

For me the last part is highlight of the song.

[SlayerJes]

I can stay in the computer with +20 beers and playing/singing this song... without boring me x)

[DJayMutiny]

Hey its certainly different...checkout "Within Temptation" if you haven't though. My fav singer. Give them a chance. you won't be sorry. Be warned....some songs like this....some very diff.

[Dare2bDumb]

@DJayMutiny Within Temptation is absolutely amazing

[LordNazgulKing]

The intro sounds like something straight out of a Disney movie. The rest is great though. I'm just glad she wasn't able to ruin the entire song!

[MrMrFreddy]

One of their best songs. I think that Unia and The Days of Grays are their best works, they truly evolved, and I love it

[TheCombust]

@MrMrFreddy definitely

[SlayerJes]

@MrMrFreddy I'm gonna listen to Unia, I've never listened before... but I agree with your comment about The days of grays, it is their best work :)

[MrMrFreddy]

@SlayerJes Weel, IMO Unia is their masterpiece. You have to understand it, but if you do you'll be rewarded

[fabs8329]

I'd like to see this like a play or a movie xD So perfect song /,,/

[wilebill2]

Gosh and gee! Wonderful song, wonderful instrumentals. SA rocks!

[sakrilehioHATECREW]

The opening reminds me to some Dimmu Borgir stuff , hahaha.

[monoburgos12345]

@sakrilehioHATECREW it sounds like the serpentine offering i think

[luken1126]

I wish this song to be in some Tim Burton´s movie :D it fits perfectly in my opinion :)

[MrHomebook]

so ein scheiss !

[CloudYasami2]

@MrHomebook das einzige was hier scheiße ist bist du.

[MrHomebook]

@CloudYasami2 voll der emo kack , geht zurück heulen xDD

[Anubelor]

@CloudYasami2

also wenn man keine ahnung von musik hat sollte man seine fresse halten...das ist einfach nur Power Metal mit echt geilen lyrics und vor allem die stimmen musik einfach alles passt perfekt zusammen

[Sevrion]

Sonata can beast any kind of style of rock.. go from Broken... to Mary Lou... to The Vice... to Deathaura (full) .... to The Last Amazing Grays (Orchestral).... they can pull it all off.. thats why of all the music i listen to... Sonata Arctica is a band that i must hear everyday.

[cahcogaray]

Bo es brillante este tema es hermosisimo y a la vez es puro metal

[claykomassa]

It's funny because my girlfriend is a witch. Or was, I should say.

[evanescence9314]

my favorite part is THE CURSE. O: It's so epic.

[MrChrno777]

@evanescence9314 The Curse is really epic! hahaha but i love Endless Inquisition, it's so beautiful. By the way, my favourite part is from 00:00 -> 07:58 :p

[dragon7th3]

Great song from SA, and I have to say that I LOVE HER VOICE !!!. I hope that they'll make more songs with her.

[flyaway2magicland]

Who is sheeeee??

[Erbtsop]

@flyaway2magicland johanna kurkela

[Mayzinha100]

i Love this Music *-*

My Favorite *.*

Kisses for All S2

[AnthroTsuneon]

This song has alot of meaning to me.. damnit, now I'm feeling like someone trying to express individuality with other people's song D=

Anyway, sonata arctica, keep up the great work

[Ninjastyle124]

Damn, this song is good! When I discovered Sonata 7 months ago, I was listening to their first songs. The first album I bought, though, was their 2006 Greatest hits... I thought the new album was alright, but this song is up there with their older stuff.

[nasiela1]

this<3

[Kabashiro]

I love the way that her voice sound so sweet and warm on 0:30!

[SHScarrow]

Every Time I listen to this , I always think about Xmas, don´t ask me why. x) There overcome me a Christmas feeling, wonderful

(or not, ´cause i´m an atheist)

but,so damned good.

[claykomassa]

@SHScarrow Witchhunting... Just like Christmas!

[Rqoiz]

This is a good album with some experimetna lstuff, but i still think that Reckoning Night is their best album. it has a great balance between SA old and new sounds!

[mprizola1]

eeh it's just another... AWESOME SONG OF SONATA ARCTICA!!!!!

[3993816]

|☺Like| - |Dislike| - |♥ Love|

[Imako13]

oh... I <3 Sonata! It's awesome band! My gods... *EARGASM* Suomi on perkeleen kova maa josta tulee parasta musiikkia ikinä!

[BrandonHarami]

I wish she had more parts.

[tiemar3396]

@BrandonHarami that's what he said?

[LordKalakukko]

I don't really care much for the new album, but this song is great!

[xXTheNuFreakXx]

Just started listening to this band and I think I'm in love. Definitely my favorite power metal band now. This song is just so... incredible.

[thePetra448]

amazing! my personal favourite from The days of grays! :D

[TrapnestShinigami]

Deathaura > Ecliptica

Sorry...

This is one of the best songs ever. It's harmonic dissonance, it's un-regular chord progressions, the lyric, the entire power the song has... it's just my second favorite Sonata Song of all time. This dark atmosphere in the song retains so much power....

[casdegroot]

This song...I don't know...it's creepy, I'm a BIG fan of SA, but their last CD...it was a little depressing, more than the others, and when listening to this song I get the feeling that anytime there can be a malicious ghost behind me or something. They did better imo.

[TrapnestShinigami]

@casdegroot

"The Days of Grays"... You know that that means? (:

Tony explained on an interview, that he saw people arround him, that were young when he was a kid, now getting old. The album is made arround the idea of death on a very "Shakespearean" way. And I think that's a dangerous yet beautifull concept.

[xM3t4lfr34kx]

Freu mich schon aufm 30.3 <3

[missMmckagan]

<3<3 maybe go to their concert in march!!!

[lolgast77]

@missMmckagan ME TOO! i cannot wait!!! <3

[Jass2468]

I love the intro to death but the rest of the song falls apart afterward IMO. :(

[ZenkaitheSlasher]

@Jass2468 What do you mean? You're obviously not a fan of progressive metal. I like the way the tempo and beat change, it gives the song a sense of complexity and makes more of a story out of it. That's just my opinion though.

[Jass2468]

@ZenkaitheSlasher Not really a fan of prog metal, but I am a fan of Sonata Arctica.

Every other song is fine, this one just doesn't 'hit the mark' so to speak... IMO

[ZenkaitheSlasher]

@Jass2468 If you like SA, you can't be all bad... =D

[estebanskater123]

Love this evoution of Sonata!!! is really great music!

[WishmasterTheDark]

I like this song and few more tracks from that album, but I don't like this Symphonic/Progressive Metal Sonata Arctica.

I prefer Power Metal Sonata Arctica, if they continue with albums like this one, well, I will not be Sonata Arctica fan anymore, but yes, I will listen to the old stuff.

[ZenkaitheSlasher]

@WishmasterTheDark Powermetal is overplayed. Too many bands do it. This is great! Sonata Arctica are moving away from a typical power metal sound, and creating their own style.

[WishmasterTheDark]

@ZenkaitheSlasher

Overplayed?

Ok I agree, there are like 1000 bands that are labeled as Power Metal, but only 5% of that number are real Power Metal.

The rest of those bands are Melodic Heavy Metal, Symphonic Metal, Neoclassical Metal and Progressive Metal bands.

Some bands labeled as Power Metal are actually Pop music bands.

I can count approximately less than 40 true Power Metal bands.

Sonata left Power Metal, which means one band less from that Heavy Metal sub-genre.

They are Prog Metal now.

[TheJimiSlayer]

@WishmasterTheDark Yes, they're now Prog, but, do you think this is good or bad? I think it's great, Power Metal is one of the best music genres (or sub genres), but, they sound great in this way, they have a new style, but at the same time, they still have their style, they are still being Sonata Arctica, but, in another way. What do you think about?

[WishmasterTheDark]

@TheJimiSlayer

I don't think that it's bad.

I think it's horrible.

I don't like Progressive Metal.

I hope they will turn back their old sound, otherwise it's just waste of talent.

[Hagpwns]

@WishmasterTheDark Since Unia (and its disscussable that even berore Unia) they have been writing Progressive Metal. They didnt change, they showed a less know part of Sonata which in my opinion its even better this way

[Hagpwns]

@WishmasterTheDark Since before Unia they have been writting Progressive. Dont talk about what you dont know

[WishmasterTheDark]

@Hagpwns

Ahahaahahahaa ignorant fag.

[Hagpwns]

@WishmasterTheDark Yea Listen to "Worlds forgotten words forbidden" it definetly is the most Leet Power metal song ive heard*Cough*sarcasm*cough*

[Hagpwns]

@WishmasterTheDark Ohh lol and if u really think im an ingorant fag youre the one that is closed to music evolution, this actually has ALOT of Power metal influense.

Just because it is mixed with a Synphony it makes you feel like youre listening to old people music or i dont know what, but u acuse me of ignorance HA. (If u wana listen unrithmical drums and random speed solos, stop typing Sonata arctica and click the "non ignorant" link to a Dragonforce video ;) )

[WishmasterTheDark]

@Hagpwns

What the fuck are you talking about you stupid fag ignorant?!?!?!

Hahahaha you know nothing about life, specially not Heavy Metal music.

Old people music?? Hahahahahahahaha FAG!

[Sevrion]

@Hagpwns lmao i agree with you. i was just now commenting on a Therion video that the reason i love Sonata over Dragonforce is because Sonata changes their sound a lot and theyre great at EVERY style they choose and put so much power into it... friggin Dragonforce... no one can tell me that their shit starts to sound the same after a while. nearly ALL of their songs have the same drum beat. it gets old.. and boring .. and annoying as fuck. Stick with Sonata Arctica people!!!!

[Hagpwns]

@TheJimiSlayer They aint prog only they have always mixed a bit, but obiously the most famous SA songs are influenced mostly by power but listen to songs like "White pears Black Oceans" , "The boy who wanted to be a real pupet" and" and most obiously in Unia "My dream's but a drop of fuel for a nightmare". Then u can see why many of us Sonata admirers expected this to happen since Reckoning Night.

Thumbs up for a new Sonata album soon =)

[BenInOC]

I love the story in the song.

[6Mat6heus6]

very good power metal of sonata arctica!

[yuurapik]

16 like justin bieber

[qazacoatl]

finaly the sonata artica are back this it the sonata artica i like!! :D

[darkshredder95]

i love the days of grays. infact i really like sonata arctica's new sound. but this is by far the worst song on the album.

[t3nsh1x]

...si, sonata es el futuro de la música

[Metalguy287]

From the world of witch(war)craft

[chrdauph]

@Metalguy287 well, Tony does play WoW :P

[Metalguy287]

@chrdauph how you know that?what server?what race?horde or alliance?lol :)

[chrdauph]

@Metalguy287 I don't remember where, but I read some interview that said he played. I don't remember anything else

[P0P357UR3]

@Metalguy287 It says it on their website, he wants it to remain private though

[Kzar5678]

Wow. This is VERY diferent from there other songs...not sure if I like it...though I don't hate it... I dunno...

[blackdragonroxy]

@BaalsBrother Also. You like Disgaea AND Sonata Arctica? You're my new friend. 8D

[goji3755]

"You made me smile

cause I was just about

to say the same thing..."

Awesome, man! How many songs have a plot twist? Or even a plot for that matter?

[blackdragonroxy]

Best. Fucking. Band. Ever.

[just2000ofme]

This song makes me think of The Nightmare Before Christmas..

Sonata Greatest Band Ever!!!

[MrMrFreddy]

One of my favourite songs. Epic.

[JosePablo24]

Wow, complex lyrics

[SarothCyngus]

Some may disagree on Arctica's evolution, but I for one think they haven't moved an inch- they are still the GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME.

[Shamusmcman]

Kakko's gone from writing poetry in his music to writing full blown short stories.

And it couldnt be better

[HisInfernalMejestik]

Best album of sonata=Ecliptica

Best songs of sonata=8th commandment,wolf & raven.

This song is a little....boring..byezzzz

[Senhori]

@HisInfernalMejestik

You can go listen to old Sonata, it's cool... if you don't like "The Days of Grays" or any of its tracks, thats your problem, many of us, LOVE this album, and even more Unia... thats what Sonata is about, listen it once, listen it twice, even thrice, and you'll see how these new albums are far better than many before.

[1hpt1]

I'm from Poland and we love Sonata here

This song is awesome and mega epic !!!

[moviemaker3000]

This is definitely super epic.

[fairyphil]

I love this song, although I find a little problem: The lyrics and music just don't fit together. The musical narative is a bit confusing, to say the least.

Still, amazing song!

[benwizkid]

Love this song!!!!!

[BalderLucifer]

This album and Unia album is by far the best albums of Sonata Arctica, my opinion is that they become better and better everytime they release a new album!

[goji3755]

None of the Deathaura posts seem to be working today. Every lyric vid or music video with this song simply won't play. If I skip the first minute or so on this one, it will play the rest of the way, but none of the other videos start. WTH?

[MrDarkthorne]

This reminds me of Final Fantasy VIII.

[DogMowl]

Hello, my first time I heard Sonata Arctica, is the woman singer on more songs?

[RedRainbowItaly]

@DogMowl : female singer is Johanna Kurkela, she sings also in the track 9 of the album, "No Dream Can Heal A Broken Heart".....

[numb19029]

my fave song of all sonata arctica songs, but some other songs of theirs come close

[Samii1296]

Ellos vienen a venezuela *--* Siiiiiiiii <3

[Tucowens]

Confuso pra caralho! Os caras não sabem pra onde ir... ctrl C - ctrl V nas composições... junta tudo e sai essa caca...tsctsc

[TheBarrett93]

I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town.

Come with me, oh, father the heathen is exposed

beatiful song..

[TheUltim8Apocalypse]

Got to be the most epic fukin chorus. Ever.

This coming from a hardcore fan of Symphony X, Pagan's Mind, Pyramaze, Kamelot, Nevermore...

The first song I heard from this band, and definitely won't be the last

[WhiteWolfeh]

Phooo.. now I'm depressed because I'll never find anything as beautiful and epic as 6:40 to 7:10.

[afer95]

this is probably the most complex song of SA

its really awesome, i though that this music had dissapeared.

the first time i heard it i though it was a simple song, now i see im totally wrong.

awesome song.

[Felinestance]

This is by far the best Sonata Artica album! In fact its the only one I like! XD

[Tengocuentadeyoutub]

Lol this sound like dimmu borgir.

[vampireshadow1990]

@Tengocuentadeyoutub  I hope you mean the solo part XD

[craziux]

i always find something new every time i listen this song.. what a master piece...

[TheVvav]

when i first time hear this i was like wtf... O.O White pearl black ocean and this... wtf O.O.. This is music folks SA FTW

[Replicaate]

I love this song so much. It's just such a bombastic, epic Sonata moment. I think it encapsulates their newer era, with the progressive turns and like 3 little movements in one song.

I'm rambling. Point is, awesome song.

[XxninomuxX]

1:07 OMG thats So Cool :D!

[TrapnestShinigami]

Who misses Jani?

I don't...

I never did... and with this, much less

[F0x1214]

Really nice song, tho I still like more White Pearl, Black Oceans ;)

[MrRaffski]

Yeah...that's center of music Sonata Arctica. I'm lovin it.

[Antonino120789]

GREAT!!!!

[GitanoMaltes]

maravillosaa !! :)

[Beyond666Birthday]

Sonata's evolving, that's true, but me as a listener - I'm evolving just with them :) Don't flame that they're over or something. Anyone can like whatever he wants and greatness of the band isn't measured by how much people they gathered as their listeners, but how big influence they have to them :)

[XXKatsumeXX]

sonata's straight down now... unia was the first step, now they're wasted... R.I.P

gimme back immortal songs like fullmoon, white pearl, shamandalie, destruction preventer and last but not least the epic whole silence album!

get back to the old style plz-.-'

[Miskatakeable]

Intro sounds fucking epic

[teffyaguilar]

I totally agree,this is a great song, new sound, a good evolution, Sonata always do something to impress me, this song is the definition of a new sound, WELL DONE, MY BIG RESPECT FOR POWER METAL . OF COURSE SONATA ARTICA

[TheEarthforge]

I love this song so much. Every time I listen to it, I can almost see the witch hunt in front of my eyes. And the last four lines... they draw tears from my eyes. Someone was paid to say that their torment had a name, and so the woman was brutally alienated and burned to death. Her lover lived on in agony, until he was also accused of witchcraft and murdered. But only through his death could he reach peace, so that they could finally be together "for all eternity".

[xXEraizenXx]

i love this song <3 its my favorite from all songs i know. <3 Sonata Arctica ROCK. <3

[clauu9legna4]

I'd love to see a videoclip for this one!

[impichetsemo]

i agree, best song of the album

[Darkhobe]

Johanna Kurkela sings the girl that sings too, well, at least at "no dream can heal a broken heart" she sings with him ... man, she's awesome

[Livourainen]

Pure gold (L)

[pincopallogd]

who's the girl who sings with tony??

[demgod]

@pincopallogd her name is Johanna Kurkela

[BurbonPL]

Jani left-.-

[TrapnestShinigami]

@BurbonPL

NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!

[THEinternationality]

@BurbonPL It was kind of out of his control really, he had to serve in the Finnish military or something, but it's required as a citizen or you get thrown in jail.

[Asgath]

@THEinternationality Jani put off doing his 3 years of citizen work or 2 years military work as its required to be done by age 30 I think. It was all his own fault

[Berganon]

I agrees, it's a fuckin'masterpiece!

I think you can't compare ancient Power Sonata and the new Symphonic sonata. But fuck! I love them all XD

[Nejizero666]

First time I heard this song, I wasn't that crazy about it, but the more I isten to it, the more I see just how amazingly well composed this song is.

[Panthro3000]

I used to not like this song....but I reallllllllly love it now.

[Arctica14]

Autumnmaker u can stick that comment up in your ass! Sonata Arctica isn't dead and it will never be! I've had enough of you miserable mother humpers who are crying about the Sonatas change! Get a fucking life! Sonata ain't weak, your weak!

[Shiek200]

I can never get over just how amazing their lyrics are....

[maryjose1811]

I do love this song!! It's just perfect!! I love when Johanna Kurkela laughs like a witch!! :D

[SurvivorsOfTitanic]

This masterpiece is an extremely complex song that can only be created by a true genius.

[Tank0688]

Gonna see Sonata Arctica Sunday night in Chicago!!! I can;t wait, I love everything they've ever done!

[Autumnmaker]

I'm highly respectful about those people who think this is Sonata Arctica at its best.....I just guess I'm a bit of a purist, as in my own personal opinion (being an all-life SA fan) this proves how weak and weary SA has turned...IMOPO SA's death began with Mikko's departure and completed with Janni's...It's utterly sad ='(

[Icarus19911991]

This song was SO EPIC live yesterday. We got to be the first audience graced with it live. Hope they do it more though for everyone else seeing the North America tour.

[GeneralArrow]

I saw a review on iTunes that stated this wasn't power metal. How far from the truth can you get? This is easily some of the greatest power metal in recent years.

[Icarus19911991]

Most people think that Dragonforce is power metal, and are as such turned off when real stuff, like this, shows up

[SpriteBat]

@Icarus19911991 Why do you have to mention Dragonforce? Just talk about this song like everyone else. And it doesn't matter what genre DF is. If you don't like them, keep it to yourself.

[NinjaDragonsrule]

@Icarus19911991

Dragonforce is powermetal, but concentrate on more speed. And yes probably doesn't represent the genre that well, but the thing that turns people away from metal is bands which scream and grunt.

Anyway to the real issue, Sonata.

Just keep up the bloody good work. \m/

[FractureOfReality]

@feanaroTK

Here's the problem, they toned down the progressive elements from Unia, but they replaced it with essentially nothing. It doesn't have nearly as much strength of power metal that Unia had.

And, as far as Deathaura goes, I'll make it very simple.

TRANSITIONS.

When you move between two musical ideas, you put a TRANSITION in. It would be like if your favorite TV show just randomly flipped to another point in time, with different characters, mid conversation. It's just asinine.

[yumdubaby]

@FractureOfReality i agree completely. i love unia and days of grays, but when compared to their old stuff its complete crap. I enjoy the new sound but if i want to hear a new genre ill find a new band. when i buy a sonata album i want the solid power metal im expecting. also post unia sonata is the DEFINITION of in power metal

[feanaroTK]

@FractureOfReality

Yes, they did, actually. They reached back into that Reckoning Night sound and put more emphasis on melody than in Unia. Days has more power metal strength than Unia, while still holding on to that powerful progressive impulse.

As for TRANSITION, as some blanket term that you're using without actually referencing parts of the song, it means nothing. As far as I'm concerned this song flows almost perfectly musically, moving from element to element with great fluidity.

[feanaroTK]

Best song on Days of Grays and one of the best songs Sonata has ever created. Tops pretty much everything on Sonata's first two albums and is a great demonstration of the power of their evolution, though I still think they did their best with Reckoning Night which was a perfect balance between new and old.

[FractureOfReality]

I'm just going to go ahead and say how wrong this statement is. If this were released as a band's debut album, it would be essentially worthless. It is stale and awkward, and is basically pushing along on the fame of the previous albums and the popular perception that Sonata Arctica is the "In" band of Power Metal.

[feanaroTK]

@FractureOfReality

Sorry, but post-Unia Sonata is not the "in" band of power metal... not quite sure what "popular perception" you're referring to, then. "Basically pushing along" on past fame would be to release another Silence or Ecliptica. This is completely fresh... in toning down some of Unia's progressive elements Sonata has found a fantastic new sound, and no, it is in no way awkward. Case in point: Deathaura...

[TheVatiell]

I went to them show in Brazil, the new guitarrist is in the same level of Jani. I saw his performance in Wolf & Raven, San Sebastian... in front of my eyes =O that was AWESOME!!!!

[Suuz1997]

Best song ever with the new gitarist, Jani is still better.

[Fiddepik]

But elias is fine too :)

[Suuz1997]

yeah, he is, only with the new songs, the old songs Jani should play

[cheung0716]

Sonata Evolution =O

I love it

[Random8458]

i still like them too but i would wish there would be more songs like fullmoon....
