Wintersun mastermind Jari Mäenpää has uploaded a short clip on his personal YouTube page (after the jump) that shows the band rehearsing for their upcoming European tour dates, which start today. As most Wintersun loyalists already know, the band is now in the fifth year of recording their sophomore record Time, but they have given no concrete description on what the record sounds like. It looks like we won't have to wait much longer for a glimpse though. The band recently announced that while the mixing of the LP is delayed yet again, they will be playing over 10 minutes of new material live on this tour run.
Someone, anyone, tape the new songs and report back to us! You can check out Wintersun live at the following scheduled dates:
