I was very reluctant to buy the Time package and was almost laughing at it BUT after watching this video, I think it's a no brainer to get it. Jari did something great in including all those pre Wintersun demos, it's a ton of material to discover on top of the second part of Time, it's an amazing gift for a true fan of the band. It took a ridiculous amount of time but I'm pretty sure now it will be worth the wait and the money. By the way, everything I heard on this video sounds fantastic! TIME to listen to the discography again!

Jari.....this is incredible Like others have mentioned. The Way of the Fire without live recording distractions is just beautiful. You threw an actual curveball though. I don't think anybody speculated you'd be opening your musical heart to us by dropping 5 HOURS of music from the early days. I'm astounded. This would be like discovering unreleased music from the Hatebreeder days from Children of Bodom. I'm so absolutely pumped, and couldn't wait a second to commit to this project.

Someone should build Jari a decent editing workstation. I guess he's used to working on a mac for protools etc, but you can get a lot more bang for your buck by building pc yourself and going with windows or linux. I built a video editing rig for the media guy at work, he was skeptical because he had only edited media on macs, but with a threadripper cpu and obscene amounts of fast ram, a quadro gpu and terabytes of m.2 nvme storage and a lot more in reasonably fast network attached storage, he's not going back to apple for editing suites ever again he says. The only reason at this point for an apple ecosystem is if you're locked into it, or you have endless financial resources to support it.

[@oaskarje13]

I'm not someone who write comments on KZbin but I must say this: there are times that are most of them normal but there are also times to make history.

Judging by the comments here, 2024 will see a massive drop in all-cause mortality as thousands upon thousands of people adopt a healthy lifestyle to increase their chances of survivng untill August.

Ikr! I quit drinking after seeing this video. My next alcoholic drink will be one beer in August 30th, which is my birthday and the day when I finally get to listen Time II after 13-year wait

I just can't believe it's finally happening. Been listening to Wintersun and Ensiferum since the late 2000's. Kiitos!

Does Sons of Winter and Stars contain references to Time 2 songs in the very first lines? The awakening of darkened skies -> Storm The symphony of dying lights -> One with the Shadows ("old and dying sun...") The blazing fire came pouring down -> The Way of the Fire (obvious) And life and death became unbound (possibly something to do with Silver Leaves?)

Nice insight!

[@andrewlekhnovskyi]

Doubt that it was intentional, more like a recurring thing that depended on Jari's mood at those particular times

[@thosko98]

I mean, probably, as it was originally 1 album, so it would make sense. I'm so looking forward to hearing the whole thing from beginning to end in August.

Thank you so much for this incredible gift, I have already preordered and can’t wait to enjoy all of this content!

I think Yari should film himself writing and recording a song in the future. Just some clips of him recording guitars, vocals and programming the midi tracks
