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.

Personnel

• Tony Kakko – Vocals
• Jani Liimatainen – Guitars
• Henrik Klingenberg – Keyboards, Deep/harsh backing vocals (on "Wildfire")
• Marko Paasikoski – Bass
• Tommy Portimo – Drums
• Nik Van-Eckmann – Male voice (on "Don't Say a Word", "White Pearl, Black Oceans..." and "Wildfire")

[es] Reckoning Night

Reckoning Night es el cuarto álbum en estudio de la banda de power metal proveniente de Finlandia, Sonata Arctica y el debut del teclista Henrik Klingenberg. Sigue la línea oscura forjada en el disco anterior, pero de una manera algo más melódica, gracias a la labor de Henrik. Este álbum es por muchos considerado como el mejor álbum de la banda, el álbum es un punto medio entre el power metal melódico de Ecliptica y el power metal progresivo de The Days Of Grays.
