Finnish melodic metal giants Sonata Arctica are gearing up for their new album, Clear Cold Beyond, out March 8th, 2024 via Atomic Fire Records. The band has recently shared a video for their latest single, “A Monster Only You Can’t See.” The track dives into the subject of friendship, never leaving one behind.

Frontman Tony Kakko explains:

“We all may have, in our group of friends, that one person who seems to be a magnet for all kinds of problems, many of which they may not even see themselves. Maybe you’re that one? You might be an asshole, but you’re our asshole and we can see through all that, see the real you, and help. And when children arrive to the scene, they all fit under that same umbrella. Don’t worry. We’ll kick your butt up that hill.”
