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

I like how they are "yeah our music is too complex for you normal people"

Extremely curious what this will be like. I hope it's as good as their previous work. Hard to live up to it though.

2-part releases are just annoying, I'd rather wait for a single-package double-album

Seriously, I think WIntersun was fairly boring anyway. (the album) it's heavily overted anyway. Also, I hope that these two albums of 80 minutes, are actualyl decent, and not the same fucking song repeated for 80 minutes.

I would prefer two-cds album rather than two pieces separately. 80 minutes is all right. I wouldn't mind even 160 minutes or more in one album

Written by Guest on 29.05.2012 at 21:58 I'm willing to bet it looks much less humorous than I meant it to be. But I'll leave it alone, being that you and I could easily derail this thread - if it's not derailed already.

Cant see "The way of the fire" in the songs titles. Is it coming in Time 2 ?

The buildup for this is so lame. The first album wasn't exactly mind-blowing and now Jari is making it sound like Time will surpass Rust in Peace.

Hi, I come from the not-that-near future (2017). Time I hasn't been released yet, since Jari suffered a heart attack in November 2012 due to overexertion for his hard work over the years. Still waiting. Greetings from the future
