The case of Wintersun and their massively complex Melodic Death/Symphonic/Folk metal epic in two parts, Time, is getting even more interesting. Part one took 8 years to record due to Jari conceptualizing orchestration that -at the time- technology did not allow them to create. Now they are trying to crowd-fund a studio that will allow them to finish part two to their own hugely exacting standards. But will fans pay for a studio that includes an apartment when their package will likely not include a CD? With heated debates on PledgeMusic and Spotify, brand new direct to fan initiatives like Gingers exceedingly brilliant GASS experiment, the question of how we obtain our music has more answers than ever. This post by Wintersun is well argued and passionate, and articulately illuminates parts of the discussion you may not have considered up until now! Epic reading- best soundtracked by Sons Of Winter and Stars off Time I!
