Short info:
 
Хенрик Клингенберг (на фински: Henrik Klingenberg) е финландски музикант, който се занимава с електронната част от музиката на „Соната Арктика“. Роден е на 21 октомври 1978. В момента живее в Кокола, Финландия. Присъединява се към „Соната Арктика“ едва в края на 2002. Преди тази група е свирил в много други. Обича да слуша Pantera, Били Холидей и Diablo. Любим писател му е Ърнест Хемингуей.

Кариера

Въпреки че, основният му ангажимент е със Соната Арктика, Клингенберг е също член на траш/груув метъл групата Mental Care Foundation, където е вокалист и кийбордист. Финландецът също стартира мелодичен дет метъл проект наречен Graveyard Shift като вокалист с неговия бивш колега от Соната Арктика Яни Лииматайнен.

Преди да се присъедини към Соната Арктика, участва в голям брой групи, които не посочва поименно в биографичната си страница на официалния уебсайт на Соната Арктика. Неговата най-известна бивша група е Requiem, с която записва два албума и допринася с клавишни инструменти.
Career

Although his main involvement is with Sonata Arctica, he is also a member of the band Silent Voices and a thrash/groove metal band called Mental Care Foundation (in which he is the vocalist rather than the keyboardist). He has also recently started a melodic death metal side project called Graveyard Shift as vocalist with his former Sonata Arctica bandmate Jani Liimatainen.

Before joining Sonata Arctica, he had participated in a large enough number of bands that he does not bother to list them on his bio page on the official Sonata Arctica website. His most well-known previous band was a progressive power metal band called Requiem, with whom he recorded two albums and contributed keyboards.

Henrik plays a shoulder-mounted controller keyboard (formerly the Roland AX-1, then the Roland AX-7, now AX-1 again) and a Kurzweil, Korg Karma or Korg Triton synthesizer.

Personality

Sonata Arctica chose Klingenberg to join after spending time drinking with him and another candidate, since they wanted the newcomer to fit in with the other band members' socially as well as musically.

During live shows, Henrik's portable keyboard allows him to add more energy and movement to the band's performances and he often wanders the stage whilst playing, in the same way that guitarists often do. On the Sonata Arctica live DVD For the Sake of Revenge, Henrik smashed his hand painted Roland AX-7 several times into the floor of the stage in an event that was referred to as 'The End of this Keyboard' (a reference to the band's song 'The End of this Chapter'). This act mirrored the instrument-destroying antics of The Who as well as being a cliché of rock and metal music and it showed Henrik to be a more traditional rock or metal performer.

In the documentary Men of the North in Japan, Henrik is shown wearing a traffic cone on his head, which has become a trademark of sorts for fans.
