Wintersun


Wintersun

Genre: Epic Death/Power metal
Website: http://www.wintermadness.net
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/wintersun
Label: Nuclear Blast Records

After mentioning Jari Mäenpää in the last post, its suiting that I do my next band post on Wintersun.

Wintersun is a finnish metal band founded by Jari that is very difficult to define. The band's musicial influence is very wide, including such as power metal, death metal, folk metal, melodic death, and even hints of black metal. In 2004, they released the first album self-titled "Wintersun" with huge success. It has been noted as one of the best metal albums of that year. All the instruments were performed by Jari, with the addition of Kai Hahto on drums. What started out to be a side-project for Jari, has turned into a full-time band with a full band lineup. Currently they're working on the new album "Time" which has been been held back due to many technical issues, but hopefully will see the light of day very soon.
