Here is a little present from our friend Lestat Tarrazu
Welcome to Metal Epic 2012 end-of-the-year list, where we celebrate the best albums from the genre this year. Metal presents us with a broad and ever-flowing stream of artists and sub-genres, and only a glimpse of the raft of fantastic releases from 2012 are captured here.
As you might rightly point out, there are albums that you’d consider leading contenders for 2012’s list that are entirely absent like Sabaton, Testament, Teramaze, among others and all because their labels...They didn't like to be on this site, but we wish them the best.
There’s no doubt 2012 has been another great year for metal in that regard, with releases from veteran road dogs and fresh young bands alike providing endless roaring highs and churning, filth-ridden lows. So, with without further ado, lets dig in.
WINTERSUN released their long-awaited second full-length album entitled "Time I", on October 19th in Europe and on October 22nd in North America via Nuclear Blast Records.
During the listening session for "Time I" at the Nuclear Blast headquarters in Donzdorf, Germany on July 28, Jari Mäenpää was interviewed by BLEEDING RED frontman Timo Joos, who asked the WINTERSUN mastermind fan questions that had been collected via the official Nuclear Blast Europe Facebook page.
To celebrate the "Time I" release, WINTERSUN will play two special shows in Finland. The first concert will take place on October 12 at Lutakko in Jyväskylä and the second on October 13 at Nosturi in Helsinki. Support at the shows will come from THAUROROD (Lutakko and Nosturi) and MEDICATED (Nosturi).
Commented WINTERSUN: "We're excited to start the 'Time' world tour from our home country with two shows in October! These two special album-release shows will be our first club gigs in Finland since 2006 and the first time ever 'Time I' songs will be heard live! The show attendees will also be the first ones to have a chance to get a signed copy of the new album.
"During the rest of the summer, we'll be rehearsing the new material and working on a new enhanced live show as well as doing some promo and preparing bonus material for the album. Right after the Finnish gigs, we'll continue on to Heidenfest tour in Central Europe and after that... Stay tuned and hope to see you at the gigs!"
According to WINTERSUN mainman Jari Mäenpää, there are several reasons why the band's new effort, "Time" is being released as two separate albums, titled "Time I" and "Time II". He says:
* "All the 80 minutes of material won't fit on a regular CD and we didn't want to cut anything out. * "We want you to be able to hear new material sooner and not wait any longer and we want to go on tour sooner. * "The music is very full and complex, so listening this kind of 'hard listening (not easy listening)' material straight for 80 minutes is a bit too much (even for me). * "Both albums will be approximately. nice 40 min epic packages of fireworks. * "We like the idea of releasing two albums within one year, so the band will stay more visible longer, which is important in these 'modern times.' No more years of silence for us!"
"Time II" will be released in 2013.
