His name is Teemu Mäntysaari, a very young dude, but an extremely skilful and motivated player! Maybe even better than me I might say, heh! We welcome him to the band! I wanna thank everyone who applied as a guitarist, you were all great! Thanks for the interest! Finding a good synthplayer has been more difficult task. I think we might have to use backup tapes for the shows at first. We´re still looking for synthplayers, but mainly finnish players and talented ones of course. I´ve been working on new material, but so far just riffs, melodies and ideas. Quite a lot great stuff actually, but It will take time to start putting them together as songs and to make the lyrics as well, so hopefully you will stay patient. We´re trying to organize the liveshit together at the moment. It´s a bit hard situation, ´cause we don´t have a rehearsal place and there´s other shit that needs to be organized too, but hopefully the year 2005 will bring us/you great liveshows! Thanks to everyone who´s bought the album or supported us in some way, it will help us to get forward, means a lot!

Unfortunately Oliver has decided that he can´t continue in Wintersun
as a guitarist, because his time is filled with other activities/jobs. So Wintersun is looking for a guitarist and a synthplayer, but we are mainly looking for finnish members.

Wintersun video of "Beyond the Dark Sun" was filmed 3-4.7.2004.
We had very hard time doing it with low budjet and in very short timeschedule, but it was worth the hard work. It was directed and produced by Maurice Swinkels (LowLifeMedia and also the singer of Occult). And also we had great help from his friend Pieter, cheers mate!

The video turned out to be very energetic! Check it out from:
