Well, technically you're all one big awesome Finnish family of musicians, right?
Follow-up question: I've heard from... "sources" that both Time albums are pure magic (right, as if anything can top th Longest Journey)! What did you think Sami?
They're just doing backing vocals, no guest solo vocals and yes, they're all good friends, why wouldn't they be. Jari grew up with Marcus.
Sami hasn't heard Time yet, he's had chances to hear the raw mixes but declined because he wants to hear the final. @Crucifer: Depends how much you like Wintersun I guess. The way of the fire should give a pretty clear indication of how the albums will sound though.
Like Umosay said; we are all good friends with them. I haven't heard new Wintersun (exept the part we sang) because I want to hear the album when it's ready, not raw mixes etc.
I've been wondering the same thing for some time now (If you're friends or not). You guys should do a tour together, and maybe add COB and Kalmah so you could call it "The Big Four of Finland" tour or something.
Man, I couldn't agree more! (good to see you here, too, btw)
And, yeah, perhaps Moonsorrow and Finntroll could open the fest, and an afterparty with beer-drinking contests under the sound of Korpiklaani. I'd die happy after that!
