Winterheart's Guild (2003) |
Silence is Sonata Arctica's second full-length album, released in 2001 through Spinefarm Records. It is the only studio album to feature keyboardist Mikko Harkin, who left the band for personal reasons before Winterheart's Guild was recorded.
Lead vocalist Tony Kakko claims Silence to have a more unique sound than their previous album, describing the album as more 'mature' and more of Sonata Arctica's own sound than Ecliptica. [1]
