AT LAST, IT’S TIME TO STREAM THE NEW WINTERSUN ALBUM

After eight years of making fans wait, Wintersun’s new album, Time I, is just about here — and now the entire thing is streaming on the band’s website.

I have to be honest here: I was not one of the people who’s been dreaming of this album’s release for damn-near a decade.I’ve had it up to my animal pelt vest with pagan metal. So consider me surprised to think this album is pretty damn good — definitely a notch above most pagan metal releases. In fact, if the band took out those Casio keyboards and that lady moaning, I might get really into this. Of course, if that were the case, I guess it wouldn’t be considered pagan metal. Oh well.

Headbang here, then weigh in with your thoughts in the comments section below. Time I comes out October 19 on Nuclear Blast.
