Twelve lengthy years after Time I and we have lastly received Wintersun‘s follow-up album, Time II! For these unaware, Time I and II had been initially a double album referred to as Time that started the recording course of approach again in 2006. The album was ultimately cut up into two, with Time I coming in 2012 and Time II deliberate for launch in 2014. That did not occur and right here we’re 10 years later.
Let me put it to you this manner – Time II was within the works for thus lengthy and promised to be “popping out” so many occasions that Wintersun‘s personal drummer thought it was a prank when he heard the record would be released.
“Time II is an epic journey from gentle to darkness and again to gentle, exploring the universe and power, contrasting darkish stormy landscapes to calm and exquisite cherry blossom tree gardens with misty, snowy mountains that may depart you breathless,” stated Wintersun vocalist and guitarist Jari Mäenpää.
“It has songs with livid velocity of drums, guitars, and bass and exquisite melodic slower songs with a magical unique affect. It has large orchestrations and choirs spiced with historic world devices and glimmering synths. It has Jari‘s hovering, clear singing contrasted along with his aggressive type. It’s a extremely detailed and complicated album the place you can see new issues with each hear.”
The art work for Time II was created by Cameron Grey, whereas the booklet was designed by Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák (lyrics, credit & thanks pages) and Onni Wiljami Kinnunen (band pictures pages). Time II is available here.
