Commented SONATA ARCTICA keyboardist Henrik "Lance" Klingenberg: "It's been a very hot summer here in Finland, and while most people headed to the beach, we've been working our asses off editing and compiling our new DVD.
"This time around we wanted to give you a show from our home country Finland.
"The main show was filmed at the Teatria club in Oulu, Finland, last April. It showcases SONATA ARCTICA towards the end of 'The Days Of Grays' world tour, which started back in 2009.
"We played a total of over 180 shows in almost 40 countries during the tour.
"This will be a two-DVD release with lots of bonuses. We'll have tour documentaries, making-ofs as well as music videos and bonus songs from our very own Sonata Arctica Open Air festival, held in our hometown Kemi in August 2009.
"Whether you missed us or checked us out during this world tour, this DVD will be the complete guide to what we've been up to these past two years.
"I'm sure you all will enjoy watching this DVD as much as we've enjoyed making it.
"'The Days Of Grays' world tour has been absolutely fantastic and I'm very happy that we've managed to capture all the ups and downs on film. You'll know what I'm talking about when we get this monster package out!"
