No Wintersun Album This Year 2007-04-17 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 14 Comments | Wintersun frontman Jari Mäenpää has updated the band's website with the news of another delay in the production of Time.
"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 :P). 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)."

Sucks...
| | |
Damn!! This is the worst news i've heard this year.
| | |
no shit. i'be been waiting for 2 years for this release, it was my most anticipated album
for the year ToT

months :thumb:

This is sounding like it'll end up being a pretty shitty album to be honest. Sounds like he's trying way too hard to make some epic shit and thinking he's a much better composer than he is. Still, sucks about the delay.
| | |
This sucks.
| | |
i'm afraid of that too cocaine
but then again, if this is for the better, i expcet it would become my favorite album all time, it'd be hard to top Still Life though, let alone Wintersun's dbut (which is fucking amazing btw)
| | |
See, the fact that you're expecting it to be your favourite album ever is what leads me to believe this album will disappoint his fans, which are few and far between anyways.
| | |
i said if it's for the better, and i mean if it's taking so long that it's really worth the wait. That's all i meant for that.
I don't really expect it to be, i'm just thinking that it may if it's as amazing as the wait is long. that's all
| | |
Don't care what Cocaine says, this album will be awesome.
| | |
I'm not saying I probably wont enjoy it, I'm just saying he should watch his words and people should stop preparing themselves for the greatest album to ever exist ever in the history of musics.
| | |
Chinese Democracy or Time, what will be released later..
| | |
C'mon Cocaine, every band hypes the crap out of their albums. Jari definitely isn't the first. Every band always makes radical comments.
I really loved Wintersun's debut and I just expect to at least be as good as the first album, but with more experimentation. He said that it would cover new grounds so that's cool.
