Album update and shows cancelled!

Hello people!

We have to inform you that the last 3 shows which were in Sweden and Norway are not going to happen in the upcoming European tour. Amon Amarth are heading straight from Europe to support Children of Bodom in their American tour and this is the reason. We are very sorry for this but it wasn´t in our hands and we hope to play some Scandinavian shows in the near future. Also the Ragnarök festival that was supposed to be in March 2007 is cancelled.

The reason for cancelling this festival is because we have booked Sonic Pump studios to mix the new album with Nino Laurenne in May 2007. The schedule for releasing the second album "Time" hasn´t been able to hold for many reasons and some of them has been really delaying and slowing down the recording process. And when the recording couldn´t finish in the schedule also the mixing had to be cancelled and re-scheduled. Jari is still working very hard to finish the album and to make the best possible second release for Wintersun.

The release date is now planned to be somewhere in August 2007 but I´ll promise that the wait will be worth it! We are very sorry for this delay! Have patience.

We´ll keep you informed more in the future what is going on with Wintersun.

See you on tour!

Kai

Pourquoi???
Il est mieux d´etre à la hauteur du premier.

Abusé...

Et voilà, dans ma soif de découverte, je me suis déniché l´album éponyme du groupe. Du grand art, j´ai été choqué par la beautée de certains morceaux

"Sadness And Hate "

Tres tres bon groupe, on s´en lasse pas...

Oh tristesse...

News update
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 . 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).

Jari

C´est de la torture!

Il se passe quoi l´album est retardé ?

J´ai pas un niveau d´Anglais suffisant pour tout comprendre...

J´ai juste lu le premier paragraphe, mais il dit que le mixage de l´album a été stoppé, et que l´album ne sortira pas cette année...

L´album était sensé sortir en 2006, mais il est retardé en 2008. J´ai hâte.

la on entends un peu mieu

T'as vraiment accéléré le sweep ?

mais non ! lol cest un pote qui m'a dit ca pour rire ..
tapes le rythme avec un doigt tu verra bien si le tempo accelere et si tu connais la musique .. tu verrais que non

Je parle pas de ça,je parle de "je joue deux fois plus lentement et j'accélère avec un logiciel aprés".

ah .. heu .. non je pense que ce genre de technique fait sonner le morceau plus aigu .. lol

et je joue sur la musique original la .. je pense que ca s'entendrais si elle avait été accéléré ...

mais bon c'est pas grave , je le prend pas mal , c'est la 1ere fois qu'on m'accuse d'accelerer mon jeu.. ( comme malmsteen et MAB ) ca me flatte en fait :p

Non c'était juste par rapport au commentaire sur ta vidéo.
Et accélérer rend le morceau un octave plus haut,c'est vrai.

Bon il sort quand ce Time là ?

D'ici la mort de Jari... or not.

Des nouvelles quand à la sortie de Time ?

En attendant je me guéris avec la discographie d'Ensiferum.
