^Ahh, well I've been on computer like all the day, and went to check the site just like 2-3 mins after you had posted that thing on the guitar players thread. And by then couldn't either see anything special.

The mix has been cancelled and the release of "Time" is delayed even more. I´m sorry to disappoint everyone...again, but the album is not gonna be released this year. And unfortunately Nino has the Sonic Pump Studios booked full for this year, so we might have to think of something else.
Reason for this delay is that, I´ve set the bar really high on this album, but my equipment aren´t even close what I need to work faster. I have to push the gear what I have to the limits to get the best out of them and I have to do a LOT of workarounds which is very time consuming. Then all the thousand technical problems added into the mix isn´t helping. Basically every piece of gear has been broken at one time or another during the making of this album, feels like there´s a curse. Takes ages to solve the problems and send the stuff back and forth making the warranty changes. All this has made me very frustrated and un-inspired. Hasn´t helped with my stress about the deadlines either, slowing me even more. I work the best when I´m happy and lots of times I haven´t been. It´s been the most difficult record to make in my life. The album is very huge, I don´t know if it´s gonna fit even in the 74 minutes of a CD. The track count is very high, about 200 tracks per song. So it´s almost like two albums in one (or three Slayer albums
). But I´m gonna finish this, no matter what.
Now some update of the album progress: All the drums, bass and all guitars (rhythms/melodys/solos and acoustics) has been recorded (probably some add ons will be recorded when the synths and vocals are done). Then I´ve pretty much finished with the intro, that I´ve decided to include on the album. Really atmospheric and huge with some magical Japanese influences. I´ve also started to compose and arrange the synths. I´m trying to avoid the basic (and boring) layering chord stuff and create something really cool to boost the magic of the songs into new dimensions. I haven´t been able to start singing yet, because my preamp and mike "died", but hopefully soon I can. There´s been a demand to know what is going on, so there we have it. Unfortunately the news ain´t always good.
I wish you all a great summer! (But sadly, it´s gonna be a Wintersunless summer).

HAHAHAHA Fucking Retard
That is a really really really really really really fucking old update.
They've actually finished recording and have bought a new computer to work on the mix now, there haven't been any updates for a long time, suggesting they are at work and making progress.

Yeah i know, it meant last Summer
i know, fans donated to the mac for them
No, that didn't turn out to be a good idea, so they got a deal through some kind of endorsement.

Nope, they didn't. We tried to set up something to help him out, but he didn't feel good taking our money cause their would have to be a lot of donators for it to work. They talked to Nuclear Blast about their situation and they provided/arranged a new mac for them.
Latest update was Feb 2008, saying that. Kai normally posts updates on the Wsun board instead of updating the official site.
ty for that, i just remembered the thread idea then the thread start, then i think i stopped goin on it (i dont post btw, cuz its probably the most inactive board ever)

Kai wrote an update in the forums saying that the mac came last week and they are still transferring all of the software and music files. There must be a shitload of stuff for it to take a week. I would expect another update before the end of the month, or sometime relatively soon.

I bet I'll be dead before that album finally fucking comes out!
I'm starting to think GnR's Chinese Democracy is starting to have a rivalry going on with this.
