Much like their previous concert there were some moments that were really good but overall I was disappointed. Problem is, the music wasn’t all that interesting and there were too many modern elements in the riffing. To the bands credit they had a solid live sound, being very heavy but not muddy, and Mark Anthony is still awesome. Now playing a style of Prog similar to Into Eternity, with a mixture of ‘core, traditional leads a Reckon With One were mildly successful with their new delivery. Four years later they’ve added a keyboardist and changed their style. It was nothing spectacular but the guitarist, Mark Anthony could really rip, and they had moments where the riffs completely destroyed. They played a mixture of traditional Metal with a heavy dose of CoC styled groove, mixed with some minor ‘core elements. I had seen them live about 4 years earlier in support of Anonymus and Nevermore. The first band up was Reckon With One, from Brampton Ontario (look it up). Though it wasn’t a huge surprise given the length of the line up, the venue was quite full, but thankfully not so full you couldn’t move around… just the way I like it. I entered The Opera House after waiting in line for about 15-20 minutes and the first band had already started playing. Having sold out the night before in Quebec City I was curious as to what kind of showing Sonata Arctica would get, especially considering the lack of a relatively big name supporting act. ![]() ![]() Thus, on Monday, April the 18th, Sonata Arctica graced The Opera House in Toronto Canada with their presence. With the sold out success of Nightwish earlier in the year it was only fitting that Sonata Arctica would also make an appearance. Ever since Blind Guardian made their first Toronto appearance about 2-3 years ago, many bands have followed suit. Four years ago it would almost be unheard of to see a European Power Metal band playing in Toronto. ![]()
