Time is the second full-length album by the Finnish Melodic Death Metal/Power Metal band Wintersun.
It was originally scheduled for release in November 2006, but was delayed until August 2007 and then until 2008. Its recording commenced on May 2, 2006 at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki. The mixing of the album, previously scheduled for May 2007 in Sonic Pump Studios, has been delayed due to technical reasons, notably, gear breakdowns. Since the studio was fully booked for the rest of 2007, the album will not be released until 2008.
As of the commencement of recording, Jari Mäenpää has stated that the album length runs over 65 minutes, and it will be a concept album.[1] Furthermore, according to Mäenpää, the album's sound will be highly intricate. Each song is said to contain about 200 tracks.[1] The album's complexity is one of the main reasons for its slow production process. As of April 2007, drums, bass and all the guitars have been recorded. According to drummer Kai Hahto, the band is hopeful that the album will be released by September 2008. Kai Hahto has recently stated on the official site that due to studio intervention, progress is being made, but has also announced that they will not be giving any more release dates at this time, so as not to dissapoint fans if it is not met.[2]
