Ahti Kortelainen was so impressed that he sent it over to the Finnish record label Spinefarm Records, closing their first album deal in 1999. The demo codified their trademark sound of fast, melodic metal with heavy keyboards and clean high vocals. The first demo recorded by Tricky Means, FullMoon, at Tico Tico Studios in Kemi caught the eye of owner Ahti Kortelainen. In 1997 they renamed themselves Tricky Means, changing their rock ways into a more Power Metal feel and gaining influences from bands such as Stratovarius. They would release three demos under that name – Friends Till the End, Agre Pamppers and PeaceMaker. Sonata Arctica began in 1996 under the name Tricky Beans in Kemi, Finland. ^ "Sonata Arctica: For the Sake of Revenge DVD Tops Finnish Chart".^ "IFPI - Search of certification awards (DVD)" (in Finnish).^ "Finnish charts portal - Search for: Sonata Arctica > Song".^ "Swiss charts portal - Search for: Sonata Arctica > Album".^ "Swedish charts portal - Search for: Sonata Arctica > Album".^ "Suchergebnisse in den niederlänischen Charts".^ "Les charts français - Recherche pour: Sonata Arctica > Album" (in French). ^ "Suchergebnisse in den österreichischen Charts".^ a b c "Finnish charts portal - Search for: Sonata Arctica > Album".^ a b "IFPI - Tilastot - Kulta- ja platinalevyt" (in Finnish)."Closer to an Animal" lyric video (2016)."
