Finnish melodic metal heroes Sonata Arctica have launched a fan contest where people can design the cover artwork of the upcoming promotional single to the song "Flag In The Ground." [Deadline: August 10!] Commented mainman Tony Kakko: "People, attention! Now here's your big chance to make an impact to the whole music industry! Or at least all Sonata fans!
