Wintersun announce new album ‘Time II’

WINTERSUN have announced a new album!

Titled Time II, the upcoming album from the Finnish melodic death metal band is the follow-up to 2017’s The Forest Seasons (and the long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s Time I), and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist/guitarist Jari Mäenpää says, 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.”
