I'm probably going to sign up for an Egg one too that's for pick up the same location. Only $.50 more than supermarket eggs. I'd be crazy to not do that.

On March 1st, Wintersun opened up a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in order to raise money for their own studio and third album, The Forest Seasons. In the first nine days, they flew past the initial 150,000 euro goal set by the band. The campaign resulted in Wintersun raising 428,310 euro, equal to about 456,625 US dollars, by March 31st. Contributors to the campaign will be getting The Forest Seasons, including previous Wintersun albums, instrumentals, and isolated tracks off Time 1.5 (Time I remastered) and The Forest Seasons, for the 50 euros ($53.31) that the band was asking.
According to them, Indiegogo congratulated Wintersun for the second highest funded music campaign on Indiegogo of all time. (Second only to a music-based product that raised around $1.6M).
The money contributed will be used to fund future album productions and allow the band to construct their own headquarters for recording future albums and releases, including the completion of the long awaited Time II. (We'll also get to see more videos of Jari shredding and maybe sometimes in his underwear, which basically puts every other shredder to shame).
The Forest Seasons is expected to be released in July of this year.
It is now official... die-hard Wintersun fans are the most stupid of the stupid.
Ok, I don't like them either, but there is also one thing I don't understand... A die-hard Wintersun fan would normally own all their albums, so essentially each one paid 50 euros just to buy the new album, right? And of course "to fund future album productions" (which is something that the music label pays for normally), as well as "allow the band to construct their own headquarters for recording future albums and releases" (in other words to buy their own studio... wtf?). The sum they gathered implies that there were about 8500 of these fans if my math is correct...
And of course "to fund future album productions" (which is something that the music label pays for normally),
Which the label still does.

Which they don't need since there are loads of high class studios in the world with high class producers/engineers who are loads better at it than Jari.

Well, good on them. No matter how much of an asshole everybody here thinks he is..He tried and he succeeded. I'd say Jaari is a master in marketing So good on them. I'm getting the album anyway.
I was expecting this to be a post april fools announcement saying the album isn't being recorded at all and to everybody who already helped: "happy april fools!!"
Something on that line...
That would be pretty entertaining

Congrats on everyone who contributed so that Jari can build his own Studio/Sauna which in turn he can rent to other bands and make millions of $$$ each year of your backs just by doing absolutely NOTHING. The stupidity in the world will never seize to amaze me!
Just imagine for a minute what actually just happened. Put yourself in Jari's shoes. You have some fools who paid for your 700,000 EUR project which they have no % of that whatsoever and now with this studio you never have to work again in your life and you have an asset worth 700 freaking thousand! As a once great metal band said and sang.... SAD BUT TRUE

That's a pretty nihilistic presumption. I have no doubt he intends to build it, and use it, just like how I have no doubt somehow it won't be nearly enough (for him), and he'll be right back ranting on social media begging for more money. His suffocating ego wouldn't allow himself to just up and disappear. What excuse could he use at that point to vomit drama all over the internet?
I'm certainly no backer of this shit-show, but this comment right here steals the cake for most absurd pessimism.

So if you owned this state of the art studio (which you paid ZERO $$$) and a 3rd party band offered you tens of thousands of $$$ to rent it for a couple of weeks you would have said no, right?
Wow .. I'm still surprised by the result, but even more by the level of hate that's here .. Grow up guys! If you don't want to give your money, no one forces you to do so, but it's high time for you to accept and respect those who did it.
I feel that 50? is not so much since I fucking love every piece of music that Jari already released and I want to hear more, a lot more.
