Awesome! They could be the new Wintersun

Their last two albums were more Wintersun than The Forest Seasons. I'm happy if they continue this way

-"Mom Jari, I want the new Wintersun album"
-"Boy, we have the new Wintersun album at the sauna"
The new Wintersun album at the sauna:

I thought I was listening to Wintersun when I heard their new single, never heard em before so I had to check a second time to be sure it wasn't Jari haha. This is very good indeed, very excited to hear the new album!


Top 50 Albums of 2023

This is A-tier Wintersun...third strike now. Jari can retire in his sauna.

Pretty nice album. A little bit overlong in places, but for the most part this is an engaging and dynamic album with tight performances and production.

~8.5/10 learning slightly towards an 8 for me

It's good but a bit of a let down after The Winter Way which was great. I usually like space theme but maybe it doesn't work for them. Cover art is cool though.

Another AOTY candidate for myself. The way those guys do this type of music is overwhelming. A very effective formula.

Wintersun copycats, probably couldn't wait for Time II so they gave it themselves a try.

Not bad, a bit too long and dragging at some points, a fun listen though.

Easily their best album so far, fantastic compositions, symphonies, solos, and Wintersun worship. Imo better than The Forest Seasons and even Wintersun's self-titled. Cosmic theme is great, especially the unexpected harmony and atmosphere shifts, and the ending section for the closer. No strong complaints, but I'm also not drooling over this, like I usually do with well-produced cosmic extreme metal.

How is this band not more famous? This is easily album of the year, no discussion! Just as majestic and massive as Wintersun, but far better.

Too lengthy for my taste. But good one.

I could go into detail on this one but I think I will just leave it at: Wintersun in Space = Goddamn Heat and you should listen to it

First I gave it a 7, after couple of listens gave it an 8, now I am giving it a 9

Ahh, perfect album to listen to in the winter with a ray of sunshine falling on your face.

This is proof that whatever Jari thinks he can't do without a crowdfunded multi-million dollar state-of-the-art studio complete with sauna, he absolutely can.

Lol, just discovered that band. This sounds to me like it's Time 2, finally being released, I wonder if Jari is aware of that.

To be honest I haven't heard more precise band sound copycat ever in my life, is it good or bad? However I wish I knew about this guys years back. Anyways my favorite of 2023 is https://metalstorm.net/bands/album.php?album_id=172055&band_id=16477&bandname=Moonlight+Sorcery

p.s Now super keen to listen to their debut album "One Within The Wintersun" 😂

I prefer these guys instead and above any future wintersun output/outlet
