Finland | 2004 | Melodic Death/Melodic Black Metal

Wintersun, released on September 13, 2004, is the first release and full-length studio album by heavy metal band Wintersun. According to Jari Mäenpää, the cover reflects the cold and spacey atmosphere of the music on the album. Also, the man lying in the snow represents death, while the light behind the trees represents birth, or healing. It is also notable that the songs increase in length throughout the album, with each track progressively longer than the next.

Tracklist:

1. “Beyond the Dark Sun” – 2:38 (1998)
2. “Winter Madness” – 5:08 (2002)
