Wintersun has started "Time" album recordings

We entered the studios today. The day went setting up the drums, changing the drumheads, miking the drums, making the basic drumsound and Kai playing too fast all day long (and driving Nino crazy). Jiiiihhaaaaa! Tomorrow we will start the actual recordings.
In this studio session we will be recording only the drums, rhythm guitars and bass. I will continue recording the vocals, solos and synths/samples at my home "studio"/rehearsal place during the summer. The melody/acoustic guitars I will be recording with Teemu. The mixing will take place in autumn and the release is scheduled for the end of this year.

The album will be called "Time" and the track titles are:
1. Sons of Winter and Stars
2. Land of Snow and Sorrow
3. Time
4. Fire
5. One with the Shadows
6. Storm
7. Silver Leaves

Seven epic songs and quite long ones, over 65 minutes of material. It´s a theme album. The music has some new dimensions, but has also the recognizable "Wintersun style". So hopefully you will stay patient, the wait will be worth it!

Fuck Yeah

Cant wait for this one! Should be good!

AAAAHHHH!!! Wow I love the song titles, they are all so "natural" sounding. Rawk 65 mins 7 tracks! Sounds like Wintersun meets Opeth. I'm looking forward to this one.

If it's anywhere near the debut, it's gonna be killer.

im really looking foward to it, but im not a huge fan of long songs, they just sometimes seem to drag on, but lets see how wintersun handles it

 

[The Don]

Yeah I'm usually that way too with the exception of a few standouts and Opeth. But think of how the only track under 5 mins on the debut was Beyond the Dark Sun, and that most of the tracks were 7+ mins anyway. I think Jari will do a great job.

Wintersun is the best thing to happen to metal recently.

Awesome! Looking forward to this.
