Wintersuns debut album is, quite frankly, astonishing. The 8 songs are all epic masterpeices all written, sung and played by the genius that is Jari Maenpaa. Many have compared the ex Ensiferum Guitarists project too similar and indefferent from his former band. Trust me when i say they are wrong however.... Wintersun has elements from across the metal range, they show a strong folk, melodic and speed metal side but there is also touches of darker black metal. Whats best about this, is that Jari has got it to work brilliantally! Each song grabs you, pulls you in and surrounds you with its layered power. It excites and emotes more than any album ive heard in a long while. The guitar shredding in parts is just breathtaking and incomprehendably good. The lyrics arn't contrivedor soppy either, i can honestley say they strike something and do make you think, not least due to Jaris encapsulating growling voice. All in all i cannot recommend this album enough, it is well worth however much you pay for it, however it is fairly had to get a copy of (None of the major places stock it and ebay hardly ever has any). P.s. may i also recommend the version of the album which has a free bonus DVD of a live gig - also its truley immense to see them live, studio sound exactly (almost)Read full review
