There is great power in secrecy. Detached from the world, brewed under a strict code of confidentiality, a new clan, a secret society came into existence. Led by none other than Sonata Arctica frontman Tony Kakko, this new beast of his gained momentum in the massive shadow of his wildly successful power metal superheroes, slowly, steadily, biding its time, waiting for the right moment.
This moment is now. Tony Kakko, spokesperson for Himmelkraft, comments: “I’m super excited to have the first signal, first single out there in the world. Finally. All in Himmelkraft share the thankful, nervous enthusiasm. Go, whisper the news around. Join the cause. Come with us. And enjoy ”Uranium !” With his self-titled debut, he opens the curtains into this strange new world of his just enough to take a first peek – and instantly hunger for more. A master story teller and a wizard of conjuring musical emotions, Himmelkraft stages Kakkos trademark talents in a wholly new, unexpected and thrilling way. Release date: March 7, 2025
