Pretty show I've heard them on liquid metal station a few. Their not that big but for a rock/metal band their pretty big and well known. More known then most.
Big enough to get a concert movie released here, but still no radio play. You'd think Tripple M (rock station) or Tripple J (youth station) would play some
I saw them here in Linköping back when they had just released the second album and "changed Pope" on stage for the first time. Wouldn't have believed they'd get this big if someone had told me then
The live versions of The Way of the Fire and Storm are both awesome, so hoping this will shape up to be a great album after all. Hopefully enough people will rate it based on just the music and not the surrounding controversy.
Definetly this cover art is better than Time I, and although all the bullshit this band received during all this years, I have faith that this will surpass Time I and even the debut.

Here, waiting very quiet right in front Valaritas, the door that hides the tomb.
I see now! Jari wanted to wait until it's the Year of the Dragon again to release the next Time installment. What a genius! Can't wait to wait 12 more years for Time III
It's absurd just how long it's taken to release Part 2 of Time when the wait between the debut (which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year) and Part 1 was already testing people's patience. I was still a teenager when Part 1 came out, I'm now 30 when we finally get this. It really should've taken no more than a year or two after Part 1 to come up with this like with Opeth's Deliverance and Damnation. At this rate I'll be a blind old man with a cane when they release their next album. Anyway, I remember the live version of The Way of The Fire sounding amazing so hopefully the music will still be really good despite the agonizing wait.

Apart from becoming a full gimmicky outfit, this is also infuriating to see how honest fans who ACTUALLY look forward to seeing what Wintersun brings to the table have to put on to test their patience.
Wintersun should really produce or disband once and for all.
Wait, I thought the album was 100% finished 2 month ago. Why another 6 month wait? Did Jari ran out of money to buy an external CD writer for his window-cooled Mac Pro? Or does the pre-order "crowdfunding" now pay for the upgrade from "semi studio" to "proper full HQ"? Isn't this supposed to be a digital only package anyway?
[copies the text of the preceeding comment, goes to album thread for Time I and runs a search string over the 23 pages of comments to see whether he can find a match....]
It's hard to believe we finally got to hear "The Way of the Fire" in a studio version after all these years. Sounds so amazing, and as well with "One with the Shadows". Fantastic guitar riffs and vibe in that clip.
But the big surprise was for sure the old demos, remembering hearing some of them years ago under the name Immemorial. Finally get to hear remastered of "Fly into the Sky". Very eager to hear rest of the demos, the previews sounded very good!

Extra wait because the booklet in each physical copy has to be hand written by the members themselves. Remember to by multiple copies so you can collect them all.

Haha. What? I believe that there's a heap of instrumental bands out there that beg to differ. If instrumentals are not songs please enlighten us with what they are then.

I've heard they're trying to make some money for themselves through gambling. I've seen somewhere that they're using rooster bet no deposit bonus , and I'm sure it's a successful strategy. So, I hope to finally hear this new album.
