It’s getting colder and colder. This very long song always reminds me of winter. I fell in love with Moonsorrow in the beginning of 2007 when I was living in Tampere, 2 hours north of Helsinki. It’s probably one of the best places to live in Finland. Big enough to have everything you need, but small enough to have the atmosphere of a small town.

Wintersun wanted to start a crowdfunding campaign to make an album and to build a professional studio. Many people were laughing, including me. I was thinking why should I spend any money to support their goals. Shouldn’t an artist just create art without worrying too much about the commercial success?
