Winterborn on allekirjoittanut sopimuksen yhteistyöstä Playground Music Finlandin kanssa. Levy julkaistaan pitkän odotuksen jälkeen Suomessa 22.4. Kyseessä on seuraaja yhtyeen Cold Reality esikoislevylle joka julkaistiin 2006 lopulla. Yhtyeen kitaristi ja nokkamies Vapola toteaa asiasta: ” On erittäin hienoa saada nyt levy pihalle myös Suomessa ja vielä Playgroundin kaltaisen yhteistyökumppanin kautta jossa hommat toimii. Ollaan otettu aikalailla tästä koko touhusta nyt sellainen niskalenkki kaikkien saakelin sotkujen ja säätämisien jälkeen. Ja bändi on nyt täysin uudella energialla liikkeellä, tahtoa ja halua hommaan riittää vaikka muille jakaa. Nyt vain lähdetään rakentaan tätä hommaa eteenpäin ja levittämään Winterborn sanaa. Ollaan levyyn saakelin tyytyväisiä ja uskotaan siihen pirusti. Tällä hetkellä meille on tärkeintä pitää niin sanotusti pallo liikkeellä ettei taas sitten seuraavan levyn tiimoilta tarvitse aloittaa kaikkea alusta kuten nyt tavallaan kävi. Eikä nyt niin käykään. Nyt on aivan tajuttoman loistava kokoonpano niin soitto- kuin henkilökemia tasollakin. Tästä on hieno jatkaa eteenpäin”

Winterborn`s second album ” Farewell to Saints” finally out in April 24th by German label Massacre Records. The release date in Finland still remains open.

Massacre records also released the first Winterborn album Cold Reality which was highly praised by the critics. Here`s what band has to say about this: “ It`s really nice to finally get the album out for real. The release in Japan few months ago did release the pressure abit but this is what we were waiting for. Our fans in Europe finally have a date of release and they can go out and by the album they have so eagerly waited. There has been some frustration amongst the fans lately but now it pays of. We want to thank all our fans for their patience with this one. I just hope they find the album was worth waiting for. At the mean time, we have two songs now in myspace from the new album that people can listen to get a taste of what`s coming. The two songs are from the heavier part of the new album. Unfortunately things in Finland seem to go really slow for us. The negotiations with finnish companies seem to take a lot of time, lot more than we expected. But we are determined to find a good partner here so we haven`t rushed it. Hopefully we have some news about Finland`s release pretty soon too.”

Farewell To Saints released in Japan and the European release delayed to next year.
28.11.2008

Winterborn`s second album “ Farewell to Saints” was released in Japan by Marquee/ Avalon. Winterborn and Avalon signed a licence deal on October and now the album hit the stores on November 19 th . The release schedule for rest of the world still remains unknown. Here`s what Winterborn`s frontman Pasi Vapola has to say about this: “ We are more than pleased to sign a contract with such a great and highly appreciated company as Marquee/Avalon. Working with them has been so professional and easy from the day one. We couldn`t ask for a better companion in Japan than they are. Let`s hope that this will be a long-term releationship with them. And it was really about time to get the album out at least somewhere, unfortunately we still have to wait even longer for things to sort out in Europe and elsewhere. We are really sorry that the fans have to wait this long for the album, but it`s not fun to us either. It`s really hard to promise any release dates right now for the album here in Europe and we ask our fans for little more patience with us. Thanks. Hopefully our patience will be rewarded. And I have to say that hopefully the fans in Japan and elsewhere will like the album. It`s for them”

New song with the new line-up recorded.
15.10.2008

The band recorded still one more song for the new album with the new line-up. It is the last song on the album except on Japan where there is a bonus track. The song is titled Last Man Standing and here`s what the band has to say about it: “ We wanted to do one song with the new guys in the band and went in to the studio and the atmosphere was really great. The chemistry in the band is now just amazing. Teemu and Pasi wrote the song pretty fast and it wasn`t actually even completely ready when we started recording it. We just made up stuff as we recorded. We had the basic structure and all the riffs ready and a few melodies, but most of the melodies and lyrics we wrote at the same time that Teemu was recording his vocal parts. It turned out to be really heavy song with a great chorus and some of the heaviest riffs we have so far. And the whole song is very raw compared to the stuff we have done earlier. We just wanted it like that. Raw and heavy rock. And Teemu`s singing is once again amazing. Most of the parts are the first takes and that was it. And now it`s nice that the fans get the idea how the band sound at this point. Lauri`s drumming just kicks your ass! And the whole band works now like a charm. We are really pleased with the song.”
