Wintersun – When Time Fades Away
Tags
Biography
Helsinki, Finland (2004 – present)
Jari has spoken about the genre of Wintersun’s music, and says “Well it´s difficult to put into a certain genre, cause there’s lots of variation. But to describe it, I would say something like: Extreme Majestic Technical Epic Melodic Metal.” He has also stated “But it’s really not death metal. It’s very difficult even for me to label it, but if somebody would put a gun on my forehead, I would probably say something like Extreme Melodic Majestic Metal.”
The first Wintersun album, “Wintersun” was scheduled for recording early in 2004 a time frame which clashed with the Ensiferum European tour. Jari Mäenpää was forced to choose between his booked recording time for Wintersun, or the Ensiferum tour; he chose Wintersun and was forced to leave Ensiferum behind.
The album was released on September 13, 2004 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Wintersun’s self titled album was produced solely by Jari Mäenpää himself, with only a session drummer (Kai Hahto) to perform the drums and percussion. Jari performed the vocals, bass, guitars and programmed the synth on his own. Indeed, the album was conceptualised purely as a solo project in tandem to Ensiferum (evident by the fact that the Wintersun album bears Mäenpää’s name on the front).

~~~Jari is a mastermind at what he does! Not a single track sounds bad from any album! I hope some of them understood how tough it is to put layers after layers in vocals and keyboards to sound that awesome! He made fans wait for years ! Trust me this album is worth waiting for those whole long years! Each and every stuffs are so detailed. Respects to Jari and Teemu for 2 epic masterpieces! Superb mind blowing stuffs done by these guys! This kept a wonderful impact to my influences. Long live Wintersun~~~

I have a feeling Time II is going to be twice as good as Time I if The Way of Fire is anything to go by. I like Time I but I could never really get into it much.
