Wintersun - is it real? Well, no, it isn't. We hardly see the sun; for four whole weeks, it never shines. Allow me to copy the style of DerRozzengarten (the greatest reviewer ever), who knows how to write proper metaphors. Such music is never meant to explain northern life for people who have never actually walked on a frozen river or cleared snow from their car before work (I'm not taking a jab at the French, Dutch, or Danish, who usually overreact when they see 1 cm of snow). Imagine the pre-internet days: it's blizzard beasts, mid-winter, the sun never shines, just 22 hours of darkness and twilight in between. There is nothing to do, only good music, books, or finding a way to channel your creativity. Outside activities, aside from collecting firewood and cleaning snow? I don't think so (but wait a minute, Jari lives in the city anyway?). Anyway, the streets are dead and frozen, the horizon is dark, and night light is ablaze on the snow. All you can do is wait for spring and then summer to arrive slowly. I've done it all my life, still do, and we all did. It's typical northern madness! Read more ›› |

Whatever he's doing with his time, he probably isn't recording it.

Just to be unproductive in this 5 page long morass of a discussion: Windir will release a new album before Time surfaces for mass consumption. Also, a studio version of the title track Time is on the internets. PM for a link.

Written by Zap on 11.01.2012 at 17:52 There was rumor of a song online, but I think the world wide mythbusters proved it was just a rejected recording from the debut or something.

Written by Zap on 11.01.2012 at 17:52 Nope, not a joke. You're not the only one to think I was kidding haha. EDIT 1/16: It has been brought to my attention that the song I said was "Time" by Wintersun is actually a song of the same name by some band called Starborn or someshit like that. This mistake sorta due in part to my unorthodox music acquisition techniques, but was mainly fostered by the single having the Time cover art and it sounding almost dead on like Wintersun. So don't PM me anymore unless you want a song that sounds like the S/T release follow up.

I think Jari should completely scrap this album and just do something different. There's been so many delays and difficulties with it, It might just be healthier for him to start over. I just have a huge gut feeling that Time will be incredibly anti-climactic.
