Wintersun - Update On New Release


The infamous Wintersun have recently given a new update regarding a new release but in true Wintersun fashion, it's only half an update. In a cryptic new message posted on the band's Facebook page, mastermind Jari Mäenpää reveals that "It is done" without revealing exactly what it is. Could it be Time II or some other release? Reportedly, they are in negotiations with Nuclear Blast to release the material that they have been recording.

Here is Jari's latest update on things: "When I announced last week that 'it is done', I did not mean that IT is done. I meant that IT is done!

"But seriously, after almost two years of insane amount of work (not to mention a lifetime of practicing and developing music composing, lyric writing, playing, singing, production and engineering skills etc.), something big and amazing that will blow your mind has finally been completely finished, 100%! We thought (and I'm sure you did too) that this day would never come, but it's finally here. I feel I did the impossible! Feeling very proud and happy! The question now though is, will it ever be released? Well it will be sooner or later, but that is yet to be determined. I have sent a long email to Nuclear Blast and we are now in negotiations with them. That's all I can tell you right now. Keep your fingers crossed!
"

"It is done"... Probably talking about his hot pocket.

" But seriously, after almost two years of insane amount of work (not to mention a lifetime of practicing and developing music composing, lyric writing, playing, singing, production and engineering skills etc.)... "

"... And being the greatest composer and musician alive, having released only masterpieces of absolute amazingness, the work of a pure genius..."

As much as I love Wintersun, Jari is really out to lunch. Which might not even be a bad thing. Sure it can seem irritating now, but who knows if there ever would have been the A+ Ensiferum/Wintersun stuff without his whacky personality and vision. At any rate, whatever IT is, Dayz will probably be in beta before IT gets released to the public.

Also, I feel like there's no reason to be vague like that if "IT" is Time II... Then again, the whole Time II saga is probably something that shouldn't be thought about too much...

I'm past the irritation stage with Jari. Time I wasn't as bad as people say; but the only reason i'm looking forward to Time II is because I'm still riding the high from their first album. First album is still one of the greatest things ever produced; he needs to drop some of millions of layered synth instruments and go back to his roots.

Totally grew out of Wintersun...they've taken so long that I have actually moved on from the genre - that's a heck of a long wait.

IT is probably not the album. IT probably is for I T (information Tech). His I T is done. He has been complaining about his computers for years, too slow, not powerful enough. So he has bought a new one, got Sky broadband, with Game Of Thrones box sets. Now he will sit down and think about Time II.....and decide he can't be arsed.


So, he most probably updated to Windows 98

The problem with Jari is he said Time II was done and dusted just before he released Time I. Well, I am betting everything I own that not even a single note of it was written for Time II at the time.

Well I disagree with Jari on this one - IT is NEVER done, trust me I work with computers every day.

I think I'm starting to understand why Nuclear Blast dropped him from the label. How can an album be "almost done" for 3 years?

I remember that claim by him and thought it was total nonsense; but they did play "The Way of Fire" during their Time I tour claiming it was from Time II. Although it was probably just a left over track that didn't fit Time I.

I don't understand you, guys. I will enjoy Jari's music when it comes (if it comes) and in the meantime there's plenty of other music to listen to.
