Brandon Strader Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Greatest band ever, or... greatest band of all time? This is up for discussion. Their first CD came out in 2004 and it was incredible. I was overhead saying shortly after its release and after listening to it days in a row, "This CD is worth living for!" It was TRULY one of the greatest works of musical art of all time. Now they are finally releasing their second CD, "Time I", on October 12th. It has a lot to live up to but will UNDOUBTEDLY be the greatest work of musical art of all time alongside their first CD. If you haven't heard the first CD, you can listen on Spotify. You'll probably be able to hear the second album on there too, eventually. Wintersun is my favorite band, and they SHOULD BE YOURS TOO! They're touring the US and Canada soon!

Magnetic Ether Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Seeing them in December with Eluveitie and Varg! I hadn't heard of them before the tourdates were announced, but I like what I've heard. They're so much better than Ensiferum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy In Rubber Suit Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I definitely like the first album and I hope this epic double album can live up to expectations. I'm definitely going to try to catch them in concert as well. They're first time in the States from what I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I always made jokes about how this new album was Folk metal's "Chinese Democracy". Funny thing is, this will actually be worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Totally, I've been anticipating this thing for years! And the samples are amazing, so to wait that long and not be disappointed is a beautiful thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necrox Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 So cool how the songs get longer and more progressive as the album goes on. Great album, every song has its own unique flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garpocalypse Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I like Wintersun and all but really can anything be better than Sagas? That's a tall order as far as Bands/Albums/Marriages/Philly Cheese steaks/The Japanese figuring out how to actually breed real cat-chicks/anything else in life is concerned Looking forward to the release but as far as topping Equib's best. Noggunnahappenne. If i'm wrong we'll throw down at Magfest B.S. If you're wrong i'll imagine a similar result. And don't give me that "difference in sub-genre" BS there B.S. I want that crap to stop. Even if a new genre has to be made. O wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 If i'm wrong we'll throw down at Magfest B.S. I guess I've got one more ass to kick next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 For the ULTRA-Lazy, I'm happy to announce the new Wintersun album is now available on Spotify. Seriously, album of the year. Now there's no excuse to not check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omni-Psyence Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Never cared for Wintersun much, always liked Jari's work in Ensiferum more. Cool that this finally came out though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synth Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 OMG yes time is finally here. I've waited for this day for quite some time. Honestly, I thought it would never come out. Problem after problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
