Wintersun Finally Return With 'The Forest Seasons'!

With only their third album release in thirteen years, Finnish power metal band Wintersun will be releasing their newest album, The Forest Seasons, on July 21st! The album will include only four songs, representing all four seasons, so we can expect some lengthy track times for each song. I'm intrigued by the concept of covering all four seasons, considering Wintersun's output has always been about... winter. It will be interesting to see if they can conjure up the same kinds of images for the other seasons and give this album a unique feel. But that all remains to be seen.

Unfortunately, the band has not released a full single for the album at this point. So, feel free to enjoy the full cover art and tracklisting below! The Forest Seasons releases July 21st on Nuclear Blast Records.
