New Wintersun coverart....

His sentence rambles in a really gay way, hence the confusion, but he apparently did say that. So never mind.
 
It's actually not the finished cover art tbh, and Jari's pretty pissed that an unfinished version has leaked.

I was gonna say that

Sucks for Jari...but nothing can be done now it's all over the internet

I can't fucking join the forums I've tried like 10 times literally. I swear it's so hard just to sign up. Haha.
 
I was looking at the info for the first album on the metal-archives and found this:
Jari Mäenpää had been working on the songs for this album for a long time. The songs were written in/between:
1. Beyond the Dark Sun (1998)
2. Winter Madness (2002)
3. Sleeping Stars (1995-2003)
4. Battle Against Time (2002-2003)
5. Death and the Healing (1996)
6. Starchild (2000-2003)
7. Beautiful Death (2003)
8. Sadness and Hate (1996)
That's pretty crazy that he spent eight years working on one song. However, it makes me feel better, because I thought I was a slow writer. I've been writing music for less than six years though.
 
Have you tried to join lately? I thought Kai said that the problem with the registering should have been fixed by now.

Looking forward to the album btw. I still like the s/t a lot.
 
I can understand if someone doesn't just like this band, but I can't understand why someone would hate this band. And I can't understand either how can this band be called ''average''.
Wintersun stands out from the other metal bands because its different than the most, better than the most. These days its very hard to create somthing unique but Wintersun can do it and I like it.
I can come up with only 2 reasons why somebody would hate this band:
-You hate growling vocals.
-You are a lame Blackmetal-fan-who-thinks-he-is-best/cool/tough- and-blackmetal-is-only-true-metal-and-has-to-say-that-any-bands- other-than-blackmetal-are-gay.

He's not a slow writer. He wasn't doing those songs all the time, cause ha made many songs in Ensiferum too. And I think he made little parts of songs and put them together in the end. Like for example if I made a riff that I like but it doesn't fit in any of my songs, I probably would just write it up or memorize it so I can use it when I can come up with a song where it fits. And there would probably be more parts like that.

btw, the cover is really cool, though I think it would have been better if Necrolord had done it. And I don't think it would have been leaked if he had done it.
 
Hmmmm the album cover looks quite pretty....although metal album covers aren't necessarily supposed to look pretty unless your Nightwish or a band with a resemblance to them. :loco:
It does indeed look like a Nightwish cover like someone else said. hahaa

I know when Wintersun first came out and even still now, everyone practically died because it was so "awesome" I didn't find it to be awesome although I do enjoy 2-3 songs. I've never listened to the others. The band doesn't deserve to be hated because the music is talented and whatnot, but still not for me.
I do think it is ridiculous, though, that he spent all those years writing those songs for Wintersun's debut. There are people in 2 bands at the same time and still able to write songs in adequate time, and yes he was writing Wintersun's songs by himself...but 8 years? No.

tbh there's a number of bands that sound not to different from Wintersun. You certainly couldn't call Wintersun unique because Wintersun was essentially just more Ensiferum.

Ensiferum's self titled is amazing...Anything Wintersun have written doesn't come close.
That's the only album by them I have and when I was listening my reaction was "thank god he left, Wintersun is much better than this."
 
I'm glad to see you've gotten over your bout of 'Ein'sifitis.

I have. I blame Einherjer, tbh. I'm still confused about how to pronounce it, though; myself and everyone I know just says the whole thing with no stress - ensiferum - but the other day I met a girl who said it eNsiFerUm. So...how do y'all say it?
 
I always just assumed it was pronounced EnsiFErum. Ah, the glories of almost purely text-based hobbies, it makes for potentially very awkward conversations in person. BTW I listened to their myspace the other day and they really suck.
 
Ensiferum's self titled is amazing, i love the song Windrider. Anything Wintersun have written doesn't come close.

nothing out of that whole finnish-power-metal-cum-folk-with-black-metal-vocals comes close to the ensiferum debut. you know, turisas, wintersun, cob, finntroll arent in the same league, nor are ensiferum's successive releases.

they got it right once, and no one has been able to equal it, not even themselves
