Their unique fusion of melancholic melodies and brutality is unparalleled. The guitarist is Teemu Mantusaari, currently a member of Megadeth! Wintersun is a Finnish melodic death metal band. It originally started in 2003 as a solo project by Jari Maemp??, who was a member of Ensiferum at the time. They quickly secured a contract with major German label Nuclear Blast and released their self-titled debut album the following year, 2004. On this album, Jari handled all parts except drums. In 2006, they began working on their second album, \"Time I,\" but stopped production the following year, 2007. It was finally released five years later, in 2012. This album was a great success, ranking 2nd on the Finnish charts. What was planned to be a follow-up album, 'Time II', was delayed for another five years until 2017 when their third album, titled 'The Forest Seasons', was released. Now, seven years later, 'Time II' is finally being released. Wintersun is known for their slow pace of activity, but with such a stellar lineup, it's understandable. Jari, mentioned earlier, is in charge of vocals, guitar, and keyboards. Drummer Kai Haft, who has been with them since the first album, is currently a member of Nightwish. Former Northern bassist Jukka Koskinen is also currently in Nightwish, and is also known for his recent work with Crownshift. And as you all know, guitarist Teemu Mantusaari is currently a member of Megadeth. This time, there are only six tracks, three of which are epic pieces exceeding 10 minutes in length, making for a very substantial album. It features acoustic guitar, blast beats, and even the Chinese stringed instrument, the erhu. And of course, it's packed with melancholic melodies that are uniquely Finnish. It's definitely worth the 7-year wait. The best melodic death metal by the best musicians. A must-listen for extreme metal fans and Nordic music lovers alike! - Released 12 years after 'Time I'. - Guitarist Teemu Mantusaari is currently a member of Megadeth. - Drums and bassist are members of Nightwish.
