Reckoning Night

Reckoning Night is the fourth full-length studio album by the Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica, as well as the first to feature keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg. The track "Don't Say a Word" continues the so called Caleb saga, a series of songs that started on Silence<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "The End of This Chapter" and is continued on Unia<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Caleb", The Days of Grays<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Juliet", The Ninth Hour<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Till Death's Done Us Apart", and Talviyö<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "The Last of the Lambs".

Track listing

• The hidden track "Jam" is on all albums, but is often mistaken for the Japanese/Korean-only bonus track "Wrecking the Sphere". "Jam" is a jammed Flamenco-style tune (as the name implies) and is significantly shorter than "Wrecking the Sphere", which is a typical song.
• Also released as limited and numbered seabag (1,000 copies, available only per Nuclear Blast mailorder) with digipack CD, T-Shirt and gimmicks.
