WINTERSUN "TIME" NEWS!
Jari, Kai, Teemu & Jukki :
Hi everyone! It´s been a while.
I´ve been working very hard with the synths&orchestrations and I can finally say that I´m feeling very positive about finishing this long and gruesome task by christmas. So hopefully around the end of December I can finally start mixing the album. I still have a few vocal parts unfinished, but I will be singing them meanwhile I´m mixing.
The only problem about the mixing is that my current computer gear simply cannot handle these insanely huge projects. And the other problem is that I have no money for new gear. So we have discussed about this problem with our label&management and they have agreed to help us with an advance to buy new and more powerful computer gear, but only if we agree to play a few shows and show people that Wintersun is still alive. So after carefully weighting all the different possibilies, we think we need to play these shows to help the completion of the album.
The shows will be for now:
Metalfest (3 shows)
Metalcamp (1 show)
There´s lot of work and preparation to do for these shows, ´cause we have to update our live gear as well, sort out technical difficulties and of course rehearse the songs. This will most likely affect negatively with the mixing schedule, so I can´t give any predictions with that yet. I also need to try out the new computer gear first and see how it handles these projects. The software is still not 64-bit, so the "infamous 4GB RAM limit" might also be a problem with the mixing, since these projects already eat about 3GB without any plugins. But I will do my best to overcome this challenge the fastest way I can.
And no worries, these shows will definitely not be cancelled. So we are looking forward to you guys, see you at the gigs! Who knows, we might even play a one new riff... I mean a song! ;)

-What "Dantesco" means?
Erico :DANTESCO IS THE STYLE OF WRITING OF THE GREAT DANTE ALIGHERI THE WIRTER OF THE COMEDY (DIVINE)...IT IS ALSO THE EXPRESION WHEN SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENS.
-Tell me about your influences and the insipirations of the lyrics!
Erico :INFLUENCES FOR THE MUSIC ARE A LOT...FROM CLASSICAL MUSIC TO TRADITIONAL MUSIC FROM OUR ISLAND TO OUR METAL INFLUENCES AND FAVORITE BANDS AS BLACK SABBATH,DIO,RAINBOW,MERCYFUL FATE,CANDLEMASS,SOLITUDE AETURNUS,HELSTAR,OMEN,MANILLA ROAD,LUZBEL,ROOT....I WRITE ALL LIRYCS AND MY INSPIRATION COMES FROM HISTORY,EPICS,PHILOSOPHY,HUMANISM,PAGANISM(THAT I PRACTICE),AND ALL THE CRIMES THAT THE PASSION FOR A MAN THAT NOT EVEN EXISTED DID AND STILL DO TO OUR HISTORY,CHRISTIANITY!!!!
-And what about your new record?
Erico :SEVEN YEARS OF BATTLE.....HAS SOME INCREDIBLE STUFF ...SONGS LIKE CARNIFEX(ABOUT A PAGAN ARRESTED AND SLAUGHTERED IN PUBLIC AND THE VENGEANCE OF HIS CLAN OVER THE KINGDOM/CHURCH/TOWN)...THE BURNING TIMES(A SONG ABOUT A BEAUTYFULL WOMAN VIOLATED,HUMILIATED AND KILLED BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH BECAUSE ALL PRIESTS WANTED TO HAVE SEX WITH HER AND SHE WAS A PAGAN,VIRGIN,WITCH)....RASPUTIN(SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS MAN>?).....PURINOS POLEMOS(A SONG ABOUT THE LUSITANIAN HERO,VIRIATHUS,THAT BY HIS TIME WAS THE IBERIAN ROMAN NIGHTMARE)....ANIMA ET CORPUS(IS A SONG CALLING CATHOLICS "'ANTROPOFAGUS"",CANNIBALS...AS THEY ETA THE FLESH AND DRINK THE BLOOD OF THEIR GOD....HAHAHA...WHAT AN ABOMINATION...ALL DESERVED TO DIE).....EL BAILE DE LAS BRUJAS(DESCRIPTION OF A REAL SABBATH NIGHT...DEDICATED TO THE ORDER I AM PART OF""LA ORDEN DEL PENTACULO ANTIGUO"").......GUERRERO ""WARRIOR""...(BLOOD,WAR,ABUSE,VENGEANCE,MORE BLOOD)....
-Tell me a few things about your album " Pagano " Personally is my favourite of yours!
Erico :PAGANO IS A GREAT ALBUM AND AN ALBUM THAT WE LOVE A LOT...WHEN THE BAND WAS PASSING SOME BAD AND STRANGE TIMES...CAME PAGANO AND THE ENERGY OF THE GODS GAVE US A TRACK....IS A BRILLIAT ALBUM
-What about live shows ? Any tour or someting like that confirmed?
Erico : WE PLAY SOME GIGS IN PUERTO RICO EVERY YEAR ONLY LIKE 3 OR 4....WE HAVE THIS YEAR USA,ARGENTINA AND COLOMBIA,....CHILE IS WAITING TOO!
-How difficult is to line up a succesfull band in your country?
Erico :T IS VERY HARD AS IS NOT A CULTURE BASED IN ROCK ROOTS LIKE ARGENTINA OR SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES....ALSO IS NOT POPULAR AT ALL,NO RADIO,TV,PAPER...NOTHING....NOW SOME GOOD THINGS AND GROWING OF THE SCENE IS HAPPENING BUT IT NNED A LOT OF TIME AND EDUCATION FIRST...BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE A BAND THAT WORKS A LOT FOR THEIR OWN AND HAVE SOME GOOD RESULTS,YOU BIGGER ENEMIES ARE THE OTHER BANDS FROM THE ISLAND MOST OF THEM TALKING SHIT ABOUT YOU AND DO NOTHING
TO WORK THEIR MUSIC OUT.
-Well dude , any last word you want to say to the readers???Erico : AS ALLWAYS METAL POR SIEMPRE(METAL FOR EVERS).....AND KEEP LISTENING TO OUR MUSIC THAT IS MADE WITH THE HEART OF A WARRIOR...SALVE ODIN!!!!THANKS TO YOU AND ALL DANTESCO BROTHERS AROUND THE WORLD!
