Wintersun - Time Update

Wintersun released the following announcement on their official website:

Hello friends!

Time for some album(s) news. Wintersun's Time is going to be two albums, titled Time I & Time II. We made this decision simply because of few reasons:

- All the 80min of material won't fit on a regular CD and we didn't want to cut anything out.

- We want you to be able to hear new material sooner and not wait any longer and we want to go on tour sooner.

- The music is very full and complex, so listening this kind of "hard listening (not easy listening)" material straight for 80 minutes is a bit too much (even for me). Both albums will be approx. nice 40 min epic packages of fireworks.

- We like the idea of releasing two albums within one year, so the band will stay more visible longer, which is important in these "modern times". No more years of silence for us!

We hope you'll approve our new little "plan" and support us when the Time comes!

The tracklisting for Time I looks like this:

Time I

01. When Time Fades Away
02. Sons Of Winter And Stars
I - Rain Of Stars
II - Surrounded By Darkness
III - Journey Inside A Dream
IV - Sons Of Winter And Stars
03. Land Of Snow And Sorrow
04. Darkness and Frost
05. Time

Time I mix is set to be finished by July, mastered in the beginning of July and released in early fall of 2012! Time II will be released in 2013. Conception of album artworks, videos, live shows incl. rehearsals will keep us busy during the summer and I'll also continue mixing Time II meanwhile. We'll be hopefully posting some videos and teasers during summer. Also some new live show announcements soon, so stay tuned for those!

We can't wait for you guys to hear Time I material and play it to you live! Have a great summer!

Jari & Wintersun boys

Wintersun are confirmed to headline this year's edition of the so-called Heidenfest tour kicking off in October supported by Korpiklaani, Varg, Trollfest and Krampus, before they go on touring the world. Further infos, dates and tickets on www.heidenfest.eu

Alright, if not for liner notes or the overly cheezy studio photos that accompany the lyrics, what is the point of having a physical copy of an album (outside of vinyl, that can be excluded, I guess)? I've got a decent CD collection, and they're up in my attic now in a box somewhere. So please, enlighten me as to why one would need a physical copy of an album. ---- Kick Ass, Die Young Less is More Stay Pure Stay Poor Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life.

I don't need it, I want it. It's as simple as that. I try to buy as much CD:s I can afford. It's a mix of showing people I support the artist and to satisfy my need as a collector.

As a consumer, I feel better about buying something and being able to hold onto it with my hands instead of having it on the internet. The same thing with books, I don't like reading on a kindle, I like reading books. Same content, different.... satisfaction I guess. And if you don't buy your music.... then fuck you.

I will always support Jari and Wintersun, the first album is one of my favorites of all times and I'm sure I won't be dissapointed in this two new albums either.

It is somewhat of an addiction and the thrill to find cheap and/or albums I don't see everyday is like a drug to me. Buying albums that I can't find normally or that aren't in print anymore, I can understand. That's different. If there was a place near me that sold CDs for out of print bands that I like, I'd definitely buy them if I had the money. But since physical CDs aren't at the top of my list, I don't care. But I can definitely see where you're coming from when you say that buying CDs is like a drug, when I had a 100% disposable income, that's what I spent my money on. I wouldn't dream of doing that now, though hahaha. ---- Kick Ass, Die Young Less is More Stay Pure Stay Poor Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life.
