Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica have unveiled the music video for their latest single “Dark Empath" today.

The visual, which can be seen below, was directed and written by Miikka Lommi. Vocalist Tony Kakko said this about the single:

"This track is part of a saga that started with the song 'The End Of This Chapter' on our second album Silence in 2001 -- some even think it started on our debut album -- and has many sequels and prequels already. Its stalker theme offers a frame to write songs in a certain style I like very much. People do not seem to mind this, fortunately, haha! It's not a chronological story, but rather a theme with reoccurring, familiar characters that end up living through variations of the theme over and over again."

“Dark Empath" comes from Sonata Arctica’s upcoming studio album Clear Cold Beyond, which will be released on March 8th through Atomic Fire Records. Pre-orders can be made here. This is the follow-up to the band’s 2019 studio album Talviyö.
