Isn't it funny that a band with one album has a thread with like 700 posts and some bands who's been playing for decades with very solid discographies have less posts?

So? People here apparently find this band better and/or more interesting. And let's not forget all the ones bashing Wintersun.

Wintersun is a terribly overrated generic extreme power metal band, but then again mmelodic metal, which Wintersun beloings to, has always had more fan because it is easier on the ears.

This online zine has an interview with Jari in their latest issue HERE

There's some info about the production as well as some guest vocalists on the Time albums.

guest vocalists

Oh, color me interested!

Good to hear more info on Time 1, we have been waiting a while.

But they were pretty good at Bloodstock last year. Plus they're really nice guys too.

So hopefully things will get better for them.

Can't believe it's almost been a year since the new song was played live.

How time flys by...

Great to finally read a new interview with Jari. This oriental influences sounds like a good thing to Wintersun's music. The support from the label has been very important for the band at this point. It's sometime hard to realise that the album will soon be out after been waiting for over 6 years now.

You sir are worse than leprosy.

The crappy recordings of the new song sound promising, but leave it to Jari to tease people by putting it on "Time 2" even though everyone wants to hear it now because they've already heard the bad recording on youtube.

October 12th cant get here fast enough i have no doubt its going to be great everything jari does is amazing

Definitely can't wait for the new album, need some new material to listen too,

New song sample online

I'm going to bootleg this album.

Words cannot describe how good it feels to hear Jari scream again. (in a new song)

New interview with Kai

Anyone know what's the difference of these two versions: Digipak/DVD | Boxset also including the DVD

Different price and package, but is there anything else?

The box set is only available at the NUCLEAR BLAST mailorder and is limited to 500 copies. It comes in a media book with the bonus DVD, an instrumental CD, artwork card and certificate of authenticity. http://www.nuclearblast.de/en/products/tontraeger/cd/cd-boxset/wintersun-time-i-mailorder-edition.html

I think I will go with the CD/DVD version that mailorder edition is nothing really special, only that instrumental CD sounds intressting but I prefer the album with vocals. Think I will pre-order the album from Finland since the release date here in Sweden is the 17th October(don't understand why) And it's even cheapier for me to order it from Finland than ordering from the swedish webstore. Here's a link to the website http://www.recordshopx.com/artist/wintersun/time_i/#2cd

Thanks for the quote. I think this piece of text wasn't on that page before, or I just somehow missed it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they added the description in the last few days.

Yea, I lost a message. Summarized:

Kai Hahto is getting old. Who would replace him? Guesses, info, rumours?

Which bundle/format did you get?

Kai's not that old man. Mike Portnoy and Gene Hoglan are older than he is.

I believe he'll have no problems during these 'Time' albums and tours, but after that ( + three years?) it might get quite wearing to bash through long sets with tracks like "The Way Of The Fire", which is quite furious and technical, and what I can tell by watching the YouYube videos, "Sons of..." won't be an easy task either. The guy of course seems to be in pretty good shape and has a history with Rotten Sound etc., but there can always be injuries. I hope he can winterdrum a decade, but is it realistic?

He's only in his late 30s. I know drummers still going in their 50s. Chill.

Winter Madness Live from the Helsinki show. The whole show will be uploaded when the new album is out. Watch Jari's misstake in the beginning xD

New album is absolutely mindblowing , supermassive effort , now we start waiting TIME II

See you in 2020!

About "Time I", I love it. I really do. "Sons of Winter and Stars" almost made me cry, probably because I got so nostalgic thinking about how it was the first time, 7-8 years ago, when me and my best friend bought the first album and absolutely loved it. That bringed forth so many emotions in me. But (!) it's not as good as the first one, and I really don't think this one needed 8 years to be made. Yeah, I know there was several factors involved. But still.
I feel I need at least one more awesome song on it, to be able to say: it's just as good as the first.

Wintersun time I is crack in a musical form

You mean it's bad for you? I agree.

So, there's this Wintersun video interview. Turn on English closed captions and watch away. So hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5N_PitPiEuU#at=210

Interviewing Teemu next Thursday if anyone has any good questions.
