Following his departure in 2002 from Finnish Viking metal outfit <a href="spotify:artist:0krXCIkthz13P8o0v2tksH">Ensiferum</a>, former <a href="spotify:artist:5GLvquODLzNOfiRaWvKkj7">Arthemesia</a> vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jari Mäenpäa started a new project called Wintersun, with drummer Kai Hahto (late of grindcore band <a href="spotify:artist:4aglyvdJ7ApTfDC6aQ2LFf">Rotten Sound</a>). Fusing the folk-littered influence of countrymen like <a href="spotify:artist:2UOVgpgiNTC6KK0vSC77aD">Amorphis</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4ZgkHVHmGPXuRy8zd26ZJX">Finntroll</a> with the technicality, speed, and high melodic content present in neo-classical power metal, Wintersun's eponymous debut album was released in 2004 by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Nuclear+Blast%22">Nuclear Blast</a>. After eight years of virtual hibernation, Wintersun reawakened and released their sophomore album, Time I, in 2012, also on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Nuclear+Blast%22">Nuclear Blast</a>. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
