Jari discusses the concept behind the band's new album; »The Forest Seasons« out now!
"»The Forest Seasons« is not just an epic metal album:
It's a colossal journey into the heart of the darkest and coldest Finnish winter nights and the most beautiful glimpses of the shining midnight sun. Let's face it: WINTERSUN is one of a kind."
SOUNDI (FIN), Timo Isoaho
"WINTERSUN have done it again. Impressive as always.
If this is just an interim, I can't wait for »Time II«."
SCREAM (N), Håkon Grav
