Wintersun

Description

[Machine Translation] Finnish melodic death metal band Wintersun has released its long-awaited new album after a seven-year absence! Wintersun's slow pace of activity is a characteristic of the band, but with such a splendid lineup, that's not surprising. Yari is in charge of vocals, guitar, and keyboards. And drummer Kai Haft, who has been with the band since its first album, is also currently a member of Nightwish. Former Norther bassist Jukka Koskinen is also currently a member of Nightwish. He is also known for his recent work with Crownshift. Guitarist Tame Mantusari is currently a member of Megadeth, as you may well know. The album is a very heavy affair, with only six songs, three of which are over 10 minutes in length. There are acoustic guitars, blast beats, and even a Chinese string instrument, the erhu. And of course, it is packed with Finnish melodies. It's worth the seven-year wait. This is the best melodic death metal by the best musicians. A must have for extreme metal fans and Scandinavian lovers alike! Includes Japanese manual and bilingual lyrics.

Description in Japanese

タイムII / ウィンターサン

フィンランドのメロディック・デス・メタル・バンド、Wintersunが7年ぶりとなる待望のニュー・アルバムをリリース! なかなか活動ペースがスローなのもWintersunの特徴であるが、これだけの豪華なメンバーが揃っていれば、それもまたやむなし。ヴォーカル/ギター/キーボードを担当するのはヤリ。そしてファースト・アルバムから参加しているドラマーのカイ・ハフトは、現在Nightwishのメンバーでもある。元Northerのベーシスト、ユッカ・コスキネンも現在Nightwishに在籍。最近ではCrownshiftでの活躍でも知られている。そしてギタリストのテーム・マントゥサーリは、現在あのMegadethの一員であることは皆さんよくご存知のはず。今回も収録曲は6曲のみ、うち3曲が10分超の大作という非常に重厚な作り。アコースティック・ギターあり、ブラストビートあり、さらには中国の弦楽器、二胡も使用されている。そしてもちろんフィンランドならではの哀愁メロディがこれでもかと詰め込まれている。これなら7年待った甲斐があろうというもの。最高のミュージシャンたちによる最高のメロディック・デス・メタル。エクストリーム・メタル・ファンはもちろん、北欧好きも必聴の作品! 日本語解説書封入/歌詞対訳付き。

Time Has Come! 5

A lot has been said about the 12 years delay in this part two of the Time albums. Leaving all that aside if you take the music on face value then we are talking a strong album. Wintersun fans are a patient lot, waiting all this time, all the hype, the crowdfunding controversies, finally we have what really matters, the music! The basic tracks were recorded as far back as 2005, in between time technical difficulties have prevented this from being released. With just six songs, two being short instrumental intro's, the four full songs on offer here were certainly worth the wait. All of them are epic in their own right and have many layers of sound that take repeated listens to fully digest. Perhaps a tad better than 'Time I'with no extra tracks on the Japan release.
