Wintersun - Reveal New Album Tracklist And Concept
Recently, the Finnish metallers Wintersun unveiled the title of their third studio album, The Forest Seasons, that will see the light of day in 2017 via Nuclear Blast. The new release will be a full-length album of 53 minutes featuring a brand new concept that band leader and mastermind Jari Mäenpää now reveals, together with the complete tracklist. It looks like it's actually happening. Check it out below.
The Forest Seasons:
01. Awaken From The Dark Slumber (Spring) 14:40
Part I The Dark Slumber
Part II The Awakening
02. The Forest That Weeps (Summer) 12:18
03. Eternal Darkness (Autumn) 14:08
Part I Haunting Darkness
Part II The Call of the Dark Dream
Part III Beyond the Infinite Universe
Part IV Death
04. Loneliness (Winter) 12:54
Total running time: 53:20
Jari Mäenpää also said: "Yes, you guessed it! This album is our version of Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons', but it hasn't got anything to do with Vivaldi musically or with classical music. It is 100% original and solid Wintersun material! It is something new and different. Let's just say it has a bit more darker tone overall...

Looks promising. I like long songs rather than frequent cuts/multiple tracks.

"Next week you will know how we are releasing our new album, so stay tuned for more details! ." I have a bad feeling that Jari will release this album one by one song, accordingly to the season, so we will have a complete album at the end of the year, and first song (spring) we will have maybe in march or so... Something is smelly here... Wintersun always mange to surprise/ disappoint us....

Written by Yugosaki on 18.01.2017 at 21:20 Yeah, something is not right. It's looking too good to be true. We're talking about Jari after all.

Written by 3rdWorld on 18.01.2017 at 19:41 I'm usually the opposite.  The first album was great cause it had such a good mix of long songs and short ones. Beyond the Dark Sun when I just want something quick to spice up my day and Sadness and Hate when i'm really in the mood for some Wintersun.

Maybe he's releasing it by semaphore?

Written by psykometal on 19.01.2017 at 07:46 On facebook Jari explains once again that Time II is such a complicated album that he needs his own studio in order to mix it. But this new album, the Forest Seasons, is less complicated so he managed to mix it in his current situation.

Well I hope that the mixing is better overall than Time I and the guitars sound is improve. I love the music of Time I but the mixing/production not so much..

I wonder if they will release an instrumental version. That's what I enjoyed most about the last album.
