WINTERSUN has launched new 9-minute-song “Fountain Of Life,” which can be heard below.
The song is taken from the band’s Legendary Early Demos release, which is exclusively available as a pre-order in WINTERSUN‘s TIME PACKAGE.
WINTERSUN frontman Jari Mäenpää says about new song: “Fountain Of Life is a four-part epic song with some progressive elements. I wrote and recorded it around 2000 with a 16-track hard disc recorder, Roland VS-1680. While it would require a big orchestration and a massive production to fully bring it to life (maybe someday!), I hope you can feel the potential and magic of this demo. Let the song inspire you never to give up, no matter what you’re going through in life. Never surrender! TO VICTORY!!!”
In March, WINTERSUN have launched pre-order for digital version of their long-awaited Time II album, which also contains remastered versions of their Time and The Forest Seasons albums, along with Legendary Early Demos and bunch of other stuff.
Time II is planned for August 30 release via Nuclear Blast, which is expected to have physical editions up for pre-order soon.
Time II track listing:
1. Fields Of Snow 4:05
2. The Way Of The Fire 10:08
3. One With The Shadows 6:19
4. Ominous Clouds 2:22
5. Storm 12:15
6. Silver Leaves 13:31
Total running time: 48:40
Back in 2012, WINTERSUN put out their first LP in eight years, Time I, and said Time II would be out in around half a year after the launch, but unfortunately that never happened.
WINTERSUN‘s latest album, The Forest Seasons, was released in July 2017 via Nuclear Blast. The band cited Antonio Vivaldi’s violin concerto The Four Seasons as an inspiration for the album title.
