Wintersun - is it real? Well, no, it isn't. We hardly see the sun; for four whole weeks, it never shines.
Allow me to copy the style of DerRozzengarten (the greatest reviewer ever), who knows how to write proper metaphors. Such music is never meant to explain northern life for people who have never actually walked on a frozen river or cleared snow from their car before work (I'm not taking a jab at the French, Dutch, or Danish, who usually overreact when they see 1 cm of snow). Imagine the pre-internet days: it's blizzard beasts, mid-winter, the sun never shines, just 22 hours of darkness and twilight in between. There is nothing to do, only good music, books, or finding a way to channel your creativity. Outside activities, aside from collecting firewood and cleaning snow? I don't think so (but wait a minute, Jari lives in the city anyway?). Anyway, the streets are dead and frozen, the horizon is dark, and night light is ablaze on the snow. All you can do is wait for spring and then summer to arrive slowly. I've done it all my life, still do, and we all did. It's typical northern madness!
Aw man, it seems that when Jari was bringing the recordings to the studio, he was attacked by a dragon! It flew and crashed into the side of his car. It then scream "I fucking love Wintersun!" and ate the recordings.
Jari is now asking for donations to help record better music. but this time it will be so intense, that only 20 minutes will fit on a CD so you'll have to buy the boxset.
All these teasers are so useless, because they don't show us what the album sounds like. Jari, just record your shit, mix and master that shit and release it, and stop teasing us with useless trailers.

The record is done. This weekend they had a listening session for the media and the reaction was really good. It's not the band who are making this trailers, it's Nuclear Blast that's editing them.

Sorry to burst your bubble. But the reaction is ALWAYS very good at listening sessions for the media, no matter what band it is. The reason the reaction is always good is that those who have been invited don't dare to be negative because then they won't be invited to other listening sessions hosted by the same record label.

And that (asskissing) partially forces them to write at least a 'good' review of something, and when it's done they spread that hypocritical trash around in magazines and webzines, and lots of people end up wasting their time.
yep, entirely true

I'll rephrase then:
*clears throat*
Nuclear Blast, just let Jari record his shit, mix and master that shit and release it, and stop teasing us with useless trailers. (talking about the full Time album here, not just Time I)
Can anyone remember the moment they discovered Wintersun and Time was announced and how much has passed since then? I remember being in high school still and remember seeing adds from Nuclear Blast promoting new Time shirts and other stuff in 2006.

I agree with the Devin Townsend influence. LOTS of layers upon a lot more layers. And sounds like Jari's clean vox have improved BIG TIME. SO when the **** can I pre-order this bitch?
