Album Description
Available in:
"The Forest Seasons" is the third album by Finnish Melodic Death Metal band Wintersun. It was released on July 21, 2017 via Nuclear Blast. The band cited Antonio Vivaldi's violin concerto The Four Seasons as an inspiration for the album title.
User Album Review
Combining only four tracks and clocking in at approximately 54 minutes of duration, The Forest Seasons on first glance seems like an imposing listen. Beginning with the track “Awaken from the Dark Slumber” (Spring) the album starts off amazingly strong, before moving into a steady pace with “The Forest That Weeps” (Summer). By the halfway mark of the album, the sound travels down a darker road with the song “Eternal Darkness” (Autumn) before coming full circle with the final track “Loneliness” (Winter).
The vocal and lyrical delivery on this album is everything you would expect from Wintersun at this point. Jari Mäenpää‘s fiercely potent growls often taking centre stage with the occasional crowd chant included to enhance the epic feel about each track. Perhaps the greatest surprise came towards the end of the album during the final track “Loneliness” (Winter), where there is little harsh vocal delivery creating a more sobering mood, before surprising the listener with a cleanly sung conclusion to this tale of four seasons. The album appears to have a lyrical theme that encompasses the awakening or rebirth of the forest and its transition throughout the different stages of its life cycle; and is scattered with Wintersun’s usual references to the stars, space and melancholy, basically the things that are very synonymous with Wintersun by now. With that being said, the lyrics are at times some of the greatest parts of the overall sound and perfectly blend into the overall mix.
While this won’t be considered the masterpiece that many have been waiting for, there is enough on here to silence the critics that have ridiculed the band for their crowdfunding campaign; and for those that have continued to show interest in and support for Wintersun throughout all the ups and downs, this should hopefully satiate your thirst for their brilliance until the next release comes around.
