“Time II“, Wintersun‘s official follow-up to their 2012 sophomore album “Time I“, will now arrive on August 30th through Nuclear Blast. It’s been a long road for fans of the Finnish heavy metal outfit, who crowdfunded nearly $500,000 USD for the band back in 2017 to help fund the construction of their new headquarters/studio. That year also saw the release of Wintersun‘s current album at the moment, “The Forest Seasons“.
Vocalist/guitarist, etc. Jari Mäenpää commented:
“‘Time II‘ is an epic journey from light to darkness and back to light, exploring the universe and energy, contrasting dark stormy landscapes to calm and beautiful cherry blossom tree gardens with misty, snowy mountains that will leave you breathless. It has songs with furious speed of drums, guitars, and bass and beautiful melodic slower songs with a magical exotic influence. It has massive orchestrations and choirs spiced with ancient world instruments and glimmering synths. It has Jari‘s soaring, clean singing contrasted with his aggressive style. It is a highly detailed and complex album where you will find new things with every listen.”
Pre-order options are available now through wintersun.bfan.link/time-ii.ema.
