WINTERSUN FOREST PACKAGE PRE-ORDER EXTENDED!!! AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 30th!
Due to the popular demand and a lot of requests we have decided to still offer our FOREST PACKAGE via Indiegogo’s InDemand option through April! This way those who didn’t have the chance to buy the FOREST PACKAGE during the original campaign in March or missed the deadline can still get it until April 30th.
Nuclear Blast’s pre-sale for our new album 'The Forest Seasons' physical versions (CD & vinyl) will start after our inDemand month, in the beginning of May. The FOREST PACKAGE & FOREST PACKAGE EXPANSION with all the killer extra content will not be available in May anymore.

*** EVERYONE WHO ALREADY BOUGHT THE FOREST PACKAGE WILL GET THIS EXPANSION FOR FREE AUTOMATICALLY!
*** EVERYONE WHO WILL BUY THE FOREST PACKAGE BEFORE OUR CAMPAIGN ENDS WILL GET THIS EXPANSION FOR FREE AUTOMATICALLY!
We have decided to do a STRETCH GOAL and try to reach half of our FINAL GOAL with this first campaign alone. If we can reach the STRETCH GOAL we could reach the FINAL GOAL possibly with just two campaigns, which means we could build the Wintersun Headquarters sooner and you would get our future albums faster! Help us by referring your friends, family & fellow metal and spread the word! Let's get to the STRETCH GOAL before time runs out!!!
7500 funders x 50 € = 375.000 € STRETCH GOAL!!!
The Plan
The plan is very simple. All you have to do is order our FOREST PACKAGE and enjoy all the great content including the highest quality version of our NEW album which you cannot get from anywhere else!
YOU WILL GET A DOWNLOAD LINK FOR THE FOREST PACKAGE from us via email the same day Nuclear Blast releases the physical version of 'The Forest Seasons' album. The album and all the content in the FOREST PACKAGE is 100% done. The release date is estimated for July 2017 due to Nuclear Blast's release schedule and Nuclear Blast will confirm the exact date later.
Please understand that we don't get much from the physical sales, so please consider buying directly from us with all the extra content. This will help us the most to deliver the future albums to you guys faster!
All the raised funds will be used to build the Wintersun Headquarters. This will enable us to finish TIME II without compromises with our true vision!
Budget for Wintersun Headquarters
We've consulted professional construction companies and studio builders and gotten the estimated budget:
- The property 100.000 €
- The building 250.000 €
- Construction of the studio 150.000 €
- Additional costs: Finnish taxes (& Indiegogo platform fee 5% + credit card fee 3%) 250.000 €
- Total: 750.000 €
To raise all this funding we are planning to do three massive crowdfunding campaigns like this first one. Each one with a different massive 50 € package. We hope to reach 5000 loyal Wintersun fans per each campaign, which is the ideal goal. (The future campaigns will be planned and scheduled according to the result of this first campaign).
5000 funders x 50 € = 250.000 € IDEAL GOAL!!! (Reached in 9 days!)
But we are setting a safe goal to 3000 funders to secure the album release and get started even if we don't reach the ideal goal:
3000 funders x 50 € = 150.000 €
SAFE GOAL FOR ALBUM RELEASE!
(Reached in 20 hours!)
But we believe we can reach the ultimate FINAL GOAL already with this first campaign alone, if you guys support us by buying our FOREST PACKAGE and being active, motivating others by sharing all the crowdfunding updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. making this campaign go viral!
WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP NOW MORE THAN EVER!
We need a "Wintersun army", an epic alliance to make this happen! Please spread the word!
15.000 funders x 50 € = 750.000 € FINAL GOAL!!!!!!
Reaching the final goal will enable us to build the Wintersun Headquarters immediately and deliver TIME II the fastest way with the best production and start recording our future Wintersun albums with our true vision for you guys!!!
Additionally, having our own Wintersun Headquarters studio & rehearsal place will help us to work more efficiently on other things like music videos, rehearsal videos, studio videos and video updates for you. Having our own place will also help us to improve our live production for bigger and better live shows, perhaps with a real orchestra someday and doing a live video recording of it which has also been a long time dream of ours! So let's make all these things happen guys! You have the power to help us!
THANK YOU!!!
