Finnish melodic metal quintet SONATA ARCTICA have released the official music video for the new album track “The Wolves Die Young” on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGp0kms-GEk
The video clip was produced by Patrick Ullaeus of the Revolver Film Company and shot this January at Sibelius House in Lahti, Finland. No wolves, small children, or magic mirrors were harmed in the making of this video.
“‘The Wolves Die Young’ was pretty much born to be a single,” states SONATA ARCTICA frontman & lyricist Tony Kakko. “And it is. It also paved the road for the rest of the album. Set a mood in a way. It just felt real good to start with. 2014 is a year of a wolf.”
“The Wolves Die Young” comes from SONATA’s eighth studio album Pariah’s Child, which will be released in North America on April 1st.
Recorded and produced by SONATA ARCTICA at Studio 57 in Alaveteli, Finland, Pariah’s Child was mixed by Pasi Kauppinen - the band’s new bass player. Track listing for the album is:
01. The Wolves Die Young
02. Running Lights
03. Take One Breath
04. Cloud Factory
05. Blood
06. What Did You Do In The War, Dad?
07. Half A Marathon Man
08. X Marks The Spot
09. Love
10. Larger Than Life
