Sonata Arctica: The Ninth Hour versione su vinile 2LP in standard edizione. Questa particolare edizione è stata pubblicata in Europa nella casa editrice Nuclear Blast in data 27. maggio 2022.

Ambitious, multi-layered and deeply moving, "The Ninth Hour" proves to be the finest hour of the Arcticas Sonata! The quintet hardly allows itself any breaks. And so there are only two years between their last album "Pariah's Child" and their new album "The Ninth Hour". After seventeen years of the band taking the wolf-hardened Finns from classic power metal to a more progressive sound, but also back to their roots with "Pariah's Child", fans know that if it says Sonata Arctica on it, it's Sonata Arctica, However, the band is always ready for surprises, and so each of the eight albums released so far has brought a new magic that has not only further developed the melodic metal genre bit by bit in their Scandinavian homeland, but along with bands like Stratovarius and Nightwish, has had a lasting influence around the world.
