Finally our patience will be rewarded when Finnish Wintersun's 'Time II' album is revealed to the world on August, 30th by Nuclear Blast. 'It has been quite a journey' admits mastermind Jari Mäenpää who has been working on his expansive 'Time' project since early 2004. 'I was 15 when I started making a lot of different songs and it kind of went on and on, and of course I joined Ensiferum, but besides that, I always kept doing my own music. When I left Ensiferum, I made the first debut Wintersun album and that was mainly a kind of exploring. Stars, the universe and winter atmosphere happen to be the main themes. Music-wise there are no boundaries. After that album, I wanted to start exploring more different styles with the 'Time' album and that expanded with more melodies from different countries, with lyrics about life and human relationships, focusing on life and death. That has always been a big theme of Wintersun: what is this thing called 'life' and this experience that we are all having? That fascination has been growing ever since.'
Despite its long time in the making, 'Time II' has remained consistent to its predecessor and was created by the same musicians. Jari Mäenpää (vocals, guitars, keyboards and more) was assisted by guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari (Megadeth), bassist Jukka Koskinen (Nightwish, Crownshift) and drummer Kai Hahto (Nightwish). Work on this ever expanding 'Time' project has now come to an end. The Finnish four-piece looks forward to new horizons and bringing their newest creation to the masses for worldwide victory
