The amazing artwork from the self-titled debut album "Wintersun", courtesy of Necrolord already gives you a hint where
this act might come from, exactly, Finland! Hailing from the land of the thousand lakes where the winters are long and
cold, WINTERSUN is the new project of singer and multi instrumentalist Jari Mäenpäa, who recently left his former band
ENSIFERUM. Powerful and majestic with a lot of energy, the music of WINTERSUN mainly flows with great melodies
influenced by folk and Scandinavian traditional music. Lyrically the album deals with mastermind Jari's life, feelings,
emotions, hallucinations and dreams, facts that make the record a very personal piece of work. Beside Jari, drummer Kai
Hahto from the Finish Grindcore/Death Metal band ROTTEN SOUND playes on "Wintersun" and provided the album with
a hellish pummelling in all of the right parts. The rest – vocals, guitars, bass and programming – was done completely by
the perfectionist Mäenpäa. They both managed to create a diversified song spectrum from speed metal tracks over heavy
guitar tracks to bombastic mid tempo opuses. While fast songs like opener 'Beyond The Dark Sun' and 'Winter Madness' stress out the high technical abilities of WINTERSUN, epic songs with big choruses like 'Sleeping Stars' and 'Death And
The Healing' show the unique feeling of Jari for emotional and melancholic melodies. The vocals always fit perfectly to the
present mood – Jari masters everything, no matter if you take melodic clean vocals, brutal screams or Viking-like chants.
WINTERSUN is epic Melodic Death Metal once more over the top!
