Wintersun - Announce New Studio Album For 2017
The teasing/trolling seems to be over for Wintersun as their label Nuclear Blast Records just announced the release of their new album in 2017. The masters of melodic symphonies are finally back. In 2017, almost five years after the release of their Time I creation, the band announces the completion of the recording of their upcoming third studio album. On this yet untitled record, the Finns alongside songwriting master Jari Mäenpää "once again break the boundaries of metal and add a new and majestic twist to the history of music."
In the band's own words - be prepared for the end of a long wait and for... "it": "What is 'it'? It's 2017 folks, and it's going to be a great year! Time for some big Wintersun news? Yes, it is! When we said that 'it is done', we did not mean Time II, but we meant a new album for sure! Time II won't be the next Wintersun album, because of reasons you already know from past updates and interviews.
"So what is IT? IT is a new album and it is 100% done! And no, that's not the name of the album. This album will be something new and different, but equally great or perhaps even better in some ways. Over 53 minutes of solid Wintersun material (with no intro tracks) and with a killer concept!
"This album will be the 3rd full length Wintersun album. We will release the name of it soon and other details such as the track list etc. We're gonna start putting the pieces of the puzzle together for you guys, how it's going to be released and what will happen... It will be a whole new experience! It will all make sense to you very soon!
"And this album is not the only thing we've done, not by a long shot! In fact your minds will be blown soon! That is a guarantee. So click the notifications on in our Wintersun page, if you don't want to miss out on the new album! (Because of Facebook algorithm reach limit). Thanks guys!"

There was a "prophet" in some WIntersun thread here who said that he thinks the next album won't even be TIme II. Get of MS Jari.

Couldn't tell if it was a joke at first, but then I remembered who we're dealing with here.

Not even excited anymore. It probably be too amazing to release and he'll just push it back forever.

2017 = Spring 2018 ? Unnamed Album = Time I DJ Remix ? I honestly can''t imagine Nuclear Blast taking him back if he didn't show up with a "complete album" in hand though; so something has got to be released.

He never actually says the album will be released in 2017, does he? 100% completed albums have been shelved indefinatly before.

Written by raintrance on 05.01.2017 at 04:08 All the claims that Time 2 is nearly finished (it was claimed to be finished at one point) over the years has made folks very sceptical about Wintersun's ability to deliver on their promises. The band, not the fans, need this to be released this year.

Jari is like one of those christian fringe quacks who keep predicting and wildly proclaiming the second-coming of Jesus every year only for it to... well we know what always happens... nothing.

Written by M C Vice on 05.01.2017 at 07:40 Time was promised for more than half a decade before anything actually happened. Then we learned we would only get half of the album and Time II was promised to come 6 months after Time I and it's now half a decade later again...
