Get the fuck out of here! Are you kidding me? I've got this promo sitting in a pile somewhere....I thought it sounded like friggin' Children of Bodom. I'll give it another go.Krigloch the Furious said:I'd say Iron is a tad better. But when you get a chance get Wintersun. Its the leadsinger/leadguitarist band. Its like Ensiferum x 3. Damn good shit!!!
edit: Winter Madness
Video from the first song off the cd.
"Ensiferum x 3" are bold words my friend....we'll see, we'll see.....

The new Jag Panzer may just make my top 10 this year. It's leaps and bounds better than Mechanized Warfare IMO. It's weird because bits of it even remind of Symphony X (group harmonies etc).
That Falkenbach did make my top 10 of '03.

Wintersun are okay. Definitely better than Ensiferum. Although, I do not like Ensiferum.JayKeeley said:

Let it be clear, I love the Ensiferum debut but other than the fact that this is the ex-lead singer/vocalist, I would not even put these two bands in the same league. There is no "Token of Time" or "Old Man/Little Dreamer"....J. said:
Wintersun is lots of echoing keyboards, hyperfast programmed drumming on the fast songs, and really speedy Stratovarius-like riffs swamped in that finnvox production sound....mostly with death vox. That's why I thought of CoB. (I do recognize however that Ensiferum also incorporate euro-power metal into their music, but not this blatant). There are some highlights though, like "Sleeping Stars", "Death and the Healing", "Beautiful Death", and album closer, "Sadness and Hate" (which admittedly is superb). Also note, the better songs are those that slow things down IMO.
Four good songs out of eight, so it all depends on what constitutes paying for a half-decent album, assuming you're not downloading it of course.

programmed drumming???
"Kai Hahto from the Finish Grindcore/Death Metal band ROTTEN SOUND playes on "Wintersun" and provided the album with a hellish pummelling in all of the right parts."

Yeah, I dunno, I think that's probably more accurate for the slower songs perhaps where the drums actually sound real. Plus, the press release lists Jari with "vocals, guitars, bass, and all programmings"...and some of these drums sound really programmed/triggered.Krigloch the Furious said:

Regardless of whether it's programmed or real, it's all dependent on your personal taste in how you approach click drum patterns played at that speed with little correlation to the mid-paced riff.
It's kinda like a stick being run across railing bars - 'clickclickclickclickclick', etc - while your humming the national anthem. It just makes no sense.

What you need now is some Rotten Sound live-video where Kaitsu is playing. The man is a drummachine and his playing looks so easy. You might want to check www.kaihahto.com out, although it's very minimal site. I've seen him live few times and he's just like in records.
