Sonata Arctica is a Finnish power metal band from the town of Kemi, originally assembled in 1996.

The band was founded under the name of Tricky Beans and initially played songs which were to a great extent influenced by the rock 'n roll genre and which didn't as much as flirt with the power metal genre. During their early career, they recorded three demos which were never sent to any recording label — Friend 'till the End, Agre Pamppers and PeaceMaker.
