Wintersun - Update On 'Time II'
There's finally some news addressing the future release(s) from Wintersun. Even if we don't get a date, mastermind Jari Mäenpää felt the need to at least talk about some of the reasons why there's no release date confirmed for Time II now but the initial plan was to release it in early 2014. Time I was released back in 2012, of course.
Here's what he has to say: "Here's the reality. Time I & II and even couple of the next albums would have been out already, if I would have a studio. BUT I don't have a studio. Studio is like an instrument of making music and I don't have that instrument, so it's pretty fucking hard to make albums, especially as complicated as the Time albums are.
"Time II is in good place mixwise, it's sounding pretty damn spectacular, but there are still some difficult obstacles I'm battling with. Tuska Festival weekend is coming and I'm gonna get wasted! I've been working nonstop since January (and not just the Time II, new material and there's some other new things boiling under as well). So don't come ask me at Tuska 'when's Time II coming out?' hahah! Unless you buy me a beer!"
So, who knows when the next album will be out?

Did he ever say it would be released in 2013 AD? Maybe he want's Virgin Black's Requiem: Pianissimo to be released first.

Written by Zap on 25.06.2014 at 23:40 yes, time 2 which had been recorded before the release of time 1 and should have been mixed until early 2013 can"t be recorded in the studio time 1 was recorded in

This sounds very familiar. I was going to ask why he keeps setting unrealistic release dates in the first place when bands are under no obligation to do so, but I guess it could be: 1. Setting a release date is a form of goal-setting, putting pressure on him to get it done on time, preventing laziness. 2. It's a great way to generate publicity and keep people talking about your band in between albums. That, or he genuinely just keeps underestimating how long these things take.

Written by Moose on 26.06.2014 at 15:27 But why would he do that when he already said at the time of release of Time 1 that Time 2 was already recorded and mixed for the most part?

Written by AberrantBeing on 26.06.2014 at 17:54 Glad others think the same, I felt like the odd one out when the album released as I was sitting there scratching my head while everyone was sucking Jari's balls. That does sound like it would make the album much better, they should record a live version of the album that would be amazing. I'm not a Jari hater for the sake of it, I think it would actually be a pretty damn good album if it were re-mixed and simplified. And yes, at this rate Time II will be an over-saturated mess by the time it gets released in 2020, still keeping the album on my radar but as much as I keep a new CoB album on the radar - meaning not much hope there. Written by Moose on 26.06.2014 at 15:27 You forgot the biggest aspect of all: Pressure from there Music Label, they've been riding Jari's ass since the debut and forced them to play shows while Jari kept saying he needed more time to work on Time. Oh yeah theres one more excuse he had, claiming 3 EU shows a year was gonna delay Time even more... haha someone should make a list of all these.

Written by AngelofDeth on 26.06.2014 at 21:09 does anyone know if jari actually still wants to be a musician or just does it because he already knows how to get through doing that?

I think it's just cool and trendy to hate Wintersun on this website. Just like Manowar.

No matter what people say about Jari and Wintersun in here, we all know that you love the music that they create. With this in mind, 10 years from now you'll still listen to them.

Jari reminds me of George R. R. Martin - always saying he will release it at a certain time, and then not following through. Though I don't mind either, as long as the final product is good and well-thought-through.

Written by ppippissi on 11.07.2014 at 23:41 Well, Martin learned not to give anymore time estimation after everyone bitched about the A Dance With Dragons delay and doesn't give lazy-ass excuses, unlike this Jari guy. Yeah, Jari is much worse, not to mention he thinks his fans are idiots
