Wintersun are guaranteed the Newcomer of the Year in the genre Death Metal. But actually no newcomer band because Wintersun is a new project of the former singer and guitarist Jari Mäenpää Ensiferum. This first-class debut is just adorable, hard riffs and grunts is perfected with melody, I think "big" bands like Dismember and Cannibal Corpse could hereof once a leaf. From musical ago Wintersun is very reminiscent of the cult band Dissection, especially in songs like "Winter Madness" and "Beyond The Dark Sun" can recognize the similarity immediately. Despite similarities with Dissection this album sounds yet imaginative. I think whoever finds Dissection or Ensiferum well this disc should pick one, it is worthwhile in any case.
