@Ted Love Jaari, Jukka and Teemu aren't Finnish and Asim is "3rd world" because he immigrated from Pakistan but spent most of his life in Finland? I'm sorry but what the actual fuck dude?
Few month ago I was in this furniture store checking something up (mattress if I remember it right). It was one of many country wide chain stores which play some music from their speakers all around the store( you know... christmas song and stuff). As I was slowly walking and checking products, I suddenly heard something familiar. Yes... they were playing this song in full. Made me smile a lot. Later I was thinking, if there's any other country in the world where this song would be considered good idea to play in the stores as background music :) Oh... yes... I'm a Finn.
Wintersun is finnish metal band from nations capitol Helsinki. Jari Mäenpää (guitarist, leadsinger) is mastermind behind the band. Wintersun started as his soloproject while he was still playing in Ensiferum (great band also). He composes all the songs. Other wizards are Teemu Mäntysaari (greenguitar, backing vocals), Jukka Koskinen (bass) and human metronome Kai Hahto himself. This is song from Time1 album. There is also two other songs from same album and rehearsals Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow. For me Time is the best metal song ever. Forest Seasons album is great also. It is about four seasons and Jari's most personal album. He is dealing loss of his father. Songs are Awaken From the Dark Slumber (spring), Forest That Weeps (summer), Eternal Darkness (autumn, best black metal song btw 😉) and Loneliness (winter) all official lyric videos. First album Wintersun has really great songs like Death and Healing, Starchild, Winter Madness Sadness and Hate. Great that you got into wolrd of Wintersun 🤘🏼😊
YES Wintersun!!! Many Nightwish fans have feelings if not more for Jari (the singer and man behind Wintersun) and Wintersun. Next song must be "Time" (also the rehearsals session) before going to the Forest Seasons... Great reaction again :-)
Yes!!!!!!!!😁😁😁 Time, My first song from wintersun, about 2 weeks ago!!!!! My reaction listening ??? WHAT THE F..CK!!!!!! Heard it about 50 times now and it is amazing ,
We call Kai the Human Metronome. He cannot miss a beat. We also call him a drum-machine-gun we he goes crazy with the blast beats. Next up, "Time" from this very same studio session.
Much of what Kai do in this song seems to got lost in the mixing. The drum cam show how he do impossible stuff that require a good frame rate to even be visible for the eye. th-cam.com/video/08_PduSKNWU/w-d-xo.html
"Time" from the same rehearsal session gotta be next! Most beautiful song I've ever heard. And it's 90% clean vocals, so your wife might enjoy it as well!
I have said it elsewhere. Nightwish are the greatest band most people will discover. Wintersun are the greatest band most people never will. Worth staying up for?
Hey there Tom, I did warn you they would fry your brain and melt your soul. Jari Mäenpää, the lead guitarist and singer, is for Wintersun what Tuomas is for Nightwish, a great composer, a poet, the man behind everything, another Metal Mozart. Many people get the impression that growling & screaming is just noise, and in some cases this is true, but with this band it's purposeful to the lyrics, don't worry about wifey, she will make sense of it I've no doubt. I did suggest you listen to Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER first, which is the perfect introduction where you then move to stage two...Sons of Winter and Stars 🤘
@Ted Love People like you should learn to stay silent and look stupid rather than open up and remove any doubt smh. I followed Ensiferum long before Jari started Wintersun as a side project, yes they were very good but he carried on that excellence to Wintersun, albeit with a different sub-genre. I think you should give mummy her notebook back and go pour yourself a nice glass of warm milk and calm down.
Greetings from Finland, the most metal country in the world with little over 700 metal bands per 1M citizens, which is over ten times more that e.g. in the U.S.. Wintersun is yet another example of the quality of Finnish metal. P.S. I don't know what's wrong with your audio, but this song shouldn't have any noticeable feedback in the original video.
Shut the fuck up. This taking pride in accomplishments of others that you had zero part in needs to stop. Birth lottery assigned you to same country as the band, big deal, what have you accomplished in your life?
While I do really like Sons of Winter and Stars, it's Time from the same rehearsal session that really blew my mind. Time has mostly clean singing (a bit of growling at the beginning).
Yeah, Sons of Winter and Stars is more like a business card for Wintersun: this is a mix tape of stuff we do. The "Time I" (1 in roman literals) is THE song you want to listen. Once Jari releases "Time II" we may be a new winner.
@@TomTuffnuts just finished it... was great... made me leave your Delain video halfway thru, scrolled down accidentally and saw this had posted, instant click away, sorry Charlotte, I love you, but had to get right to wintersun.
There's so much going on, it took me four listens to be able to just relax and enjoy it. I'm not really into growling, but it works here, enough for me to buy the album. I don't think you've done Evergrey yet - one of Floor's favourite bands. I like "Distance" (Official music video), or there's "In Orbit" with Floor guesting on vocals. Lots more good stuff from them. And hey - I'm 67 and still keeping up with all this.
Next Wintersun songs suggestions: Land of Snow and Sorrow (also Live Rehearsal at Sonic Pumpu Studio) and Time I (also at Sonic Pump)... I somehow knew that you would enjoy this ;)
Another band with growling, Amorphis, I would say more pleasant growling and Tomi's clean vocals are honey, velvet to my ears. Amorphis "Death of a King" Official Video or "The Bee" Official Lyric Video The 1st one might be more to your liking, more melodic.
Great reaction once again, Tom! Please, do Ensiferum - Rum, women, victory! And after that Amorphis - Amongst stars. Both are Finnish bands and I know you will love them!
your wife would love Loneliness (winter) by Wintersun. Incredible music and clean vocals! Also in Italy we are stuck with mainstream garbage and I do not have any radio station tuned till 1984 when I discover metal music. Great reaction. Check out our Nanowar of Steel or Rhapsody of fire
I had so much fun watching your reaction lol!! It was the same for me when I heard it for the first time, the growling/screaming I don't like it much, but now...I love this song!! I'm a 67 yr old grandma and my kids say...the older, the crazier lol! I read several times that this song had 1400 tracks!! that had to be mixed but recently I found and interview with Jari in which he says there were 1682!!! of them. Unbelievable!! The link to this interview is th-cam.com/video/hl6CmmerR8c/w-d-xo.html . And the lovely Kai blasting away on his drums!! As he is always squinting because of the sweat in his eyes that I think it is amazing that he knows which part of his drumkit he has to bang on haha. Btw. when he left the band his successor had to simplify the drumparts lol!! Greetings from the Netherlands
The "feedback" is more the style of music, a "wall of sound" so to speak. Also, I love how at the start you were not sure, but by the end of the song you are all in. Believe me, the more heavy stuff you hear, the more palatable growls become, as it can be an acquired taste. Also, you might enjoy Ne Obliviscaris- And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope, live in Colorado. They have been labelled by some as the Australian Wintersun, which is high praise as you just saw. The song is even used in the curriculum at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music as a study of virtuosity and composition.
Wintersun are amazing - this song is some of the best music you'll hear - other songs from the same live session are Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow & theyre just as good or better
this song makes coma patient to wake up for sure. thanx to great react and have lucky new week. i suggest you listening wintersun - loneliness lyric video (not any good live performance this song) with your wife together. jari make that song when him father die,it´s awesome slow and sad song,i think this band best song. best funeral song for sure.
I am not impressed fast, but +/- 13 min double bass drums and blast beats, pfffffff. I would have been dead after a min. And Kai is still laughing at the end, hats off. Next Wintersun I suggest Time.
great reaction, tom. I´ve to recommend another great finnish metalband to you. "amorphis - brother and sister (official video)" singer tomi has one of the best claer voices in metal (and yes he growls a little bit) I´m usually not into growling, but this voice is something else... don´t miss. trust me.
I am not into some over the top growling, but the more I hear this type I really am enjoying it. This is one of my favorite songs now. Time from them is also awesome.
Kai's little sister, Haruna from Lovebites is also a beast on the kit and is often compared to him power, speed and style wise. The 2 of them would put a roomful of Energizer bunnies to shame!! This band is awesome and now you see why Nightwish wanted Kai to replace Jukka when his health issues sidelined him. The 4 seasons songs are just as epic and sensational as this masterpiece. This plays all the time in Finland, metal but metal done by musicians who have honed their gifts and worked on those gifts for years, much like their counterparts in Japan. Jari the lead vocalist here is belting this out despite having TB reduce his lung capacity, imagine what he would be like at 100%!! You now have to do the other young band Asterism Dawn LIVE (th-cam.com/video/buQPvINJcA0/w-d-xo.html) in a small club but these HIGH SCHOOL kids are total world class phenoms. You want to see Hendrix's granddaughter on guitar, Hal-Ca is 16 here and playing only from age 10, Miyu on the 7 string bass is 17 and a total master. At 3:00 and at 7:00 you will get the Hendrix vibe from this girl and the video shows off the string work in great detail. They write, arrange and play their Metal/Rock/Jazz fusion sound like no one else out there.
I know a lot of people will say Time, for the next Wintersun vid... but, can I suggest, with the wifey, do Starchild or Death and Healing, since she's all about lyrical meaning, and you don't have much growling.
The drummer here is Kai, their current drummer. I may be wrong, but I believe the one you love so much is Jukka, the former drummer that is in the Wacken concert. You can't go wrong with either one when it comes talent.
Man you should let your wife see this Make an other reaction video of this with her soon Because this is god level composition of music as well as vocals
Haha, you'rs saying "this is a live version and I prefere live-versions over the produced versions in a studio". Well Tom, this is a studio and it's live ! So ....... TAKE THAT! Btw. I understand what you meant by live and studio, but ...... couldn't resist to mention it. 😉 Btw2. The lead singer and guitarist Mäenpää served in the Finnish military as part of his national defense duty, during which he contracted tuberculosis. The diagnosis was late, and Mäenpää required surgery to remove part of his lung, hospitalizing him for months. Btw3. About "don't know why I've waited so long".... If you want something that will please Sarah, again try *AYREON's* *_"The Day That The World Breaks Down"_* (she has a lot to choose from/ react to in this "project"): th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html (you had enough Floorgasms, give her some male-gasms).
@@TomTuffnuts I know, I kow ...... you'd rather argue with Sarah but, trust me .... at least you can't divorce me (ehhh blocking, yes). But don't worry, you're doing fine and I will stick around .... all the way from that small country that's called .. the Netherlands (and again .... AYREON is a must, you'll see).
Lol I know the feeling about driving to this music. Got into nightwish, next thing you know I spent close to a grand on speakers and a subwoofer so I can really enjoy it. Lol
At first I wasn't into the scream at all but the mucic was brilliant,, however the more I listened to it the more I could understand him and it became pleasurable to listen to. I am now able to listen to it like a normal track. You will get used to it too. great reaction. Their album Time is great if you get the chance to listen.
"There's so much going on in this song." Indeed. Not sure if it was this particular song, but I read somewhere that Jari often mixes from 1000+ recorded tracks. (That's insane, btw...) For some of his work, he had to wait around 6 years until (affordable) computers that can handle that many tracks became available.
"We don't hear this on mainstream music in the US." Pretty much why this Midwestern girl completely stopped using her radio 15+ years ago. I load stuff to a flash drive and it is my lifeline. 🤘🤘
I've been a metalhead for almost 40 years, when I found Wintersun they blew me away this has to be the pinicle of metal at the moment, full credit to the scandinavian countries there producing the best metal in the world at the moment 🤘
There is nothing unfit for your young kid listening to this tune. 😁 And it fits well as music to put in trip. To me it's about vikings in sail.😄 About a warriors in journey. Really glad you likes this gem. Time from same rehearsal session is another masterpiece.👍
you should try Ensiferum, if you like Wintersun, 2 greats songs from them are: "Rum, Women, Victory" and "Andromeda" :) the first one is inspired by the Royal Navy's 'one sip of rum per day' serving, that the Navy themselves provided. And the other is just a good song haha
I feel sorry for you. I am from a little town in Romania. We have a local radio station, 60 miles radius or so, and they play from Ray Charles to Immortal. Best station ever! Only Rock music. Or soft rock as they call it.
Jari is another master songwriter like Tuomas from Nightwish. I like the song Time from this same studio session even better than this song, and I LOVE this song. :D Your wife might enjoy Time better than this song.
I'm in a pretty good shape, but I get exhauted from watching Kai going to town on those Drumms damn.. what a shape he must be in...I would need some serious Oxygen half way through that Song.
When it comes to murkiness of sound at the beginning, it might just be your headphones reaching their limits. Songs on this album often have hundreds of tracks layered on top of each other, so it tests audio reproduction like most songs just do not.

Yall def on a def level.... I hate our metal... Besides tool 😂
Few month ago I was in this furniture store checking something up (mattress if I remember it right).

As I was slowly walking and checking products, I suddenly heard something familiar. Yes... they were playing this song in full. Made me smile a lot.

Someone in US is envious to Europe where u can hear metal from radio.
Europe: Are they actually doing that here?
Finland: Yes

Yes!!!!!!!!😁😁😁 Time, My first song from wintersun, about 2 weeks ago!!!!! My reaction listening ??? WHAT THE F..CK!!!!!! Heard it about 50 times now and it is amazing ,
And singing with one lung 🤗 All the best from Finland, stay safe and healthy 🤗
To be in truth, he lost 25% from one lung.

Agreed, like Time better too.

"There's so much going on in this song." Indeed. Not sure if it was this particular song, but I read somewhere that Jari often mixes from 1000+ recorded tracks. (That's insane, btw...)
For some of his work, he had to wait around 6 years until (affordable) computers that can handle that many tracks became available.
That's fucking crazy.
"We don't hear this on mainstream music in the US." Pretty much why this Midwestern girl completely stopped using her radio 15+ years ago. I load stuff to a flash drive and it is my lifeline. 🤘🤘
Definitely go to Time from the same rehearsal next. 🙂 a lot more clean vocals proportionally.
I discovered Blind Guardian and Nightwish at 16 and my life was never the same 😊
I've been a metalhead for almost 40 years, when I found Wintersun they blew me away this has to be the pinicle of metal at the moment, full credit to the scandinavian countries there producing the best metal in the world at the moment 🤘
Finland isn't Scandinavian.
Listen to Time and Loneliness of the same band, plus Forest that weeps.
WATCH THE DRUMMER, KAY HATHO, NOW IN NIGHTWISH.
WATCH HIS DRUMSESSIONS
ON YOU TUBE. AND WATCH THE BEST DRUMMER OF THE PLANET. HE DESERVES IT. 🤘🇳🇱❤️
Kai is truly amazing but he is the second best drummer on the planet after Charlie Benante from Anthrax😉👍😎🤘🥁🥁🥁🥁
If you want to see how fast Teemu can play, check this demo of him playing solo of Winter Madness live:

There is nothing unfit for your young kid listening to this tune. 😁 And it fits well as music to put in trip. To me it's about vikings in sail.😄 About a warriors in journey.
Really glad you likes this gem. Time from same rehearsal session is another masterpiece.👍
And now... TIME
you should try Ensiferum, if you like Wintersun, 2 greats songs from them are: "Rum, Women, Victory" and "Andromeda" :) the first one is inspired by the Royal Navy's 'one sip of rum per day' serving, that the Navy themselves provided. And the other is just a good song haha
Next: Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER

You shoud check a band called Opeth! Such an amazing band from Sweden!
Masterpiece
There's no feedback, it's just a sound of the wind :) I think some of the pauses had a bad timing but it was nice to see your reaction.
This is same song drum cam. (1) Pearl Artist Kai Hahto/Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars Drum Cam @ Nosturi, Helsinki 13.10.2012
I feel sorry for you. I am from a little town in Romania. We have a local radio station, 60 miles radius or so, and they play from Ray Charles to Immortal. Best station ever! Only Rock music. Or soft rock as they call it.
:0 the face when someone discover vocalist sins like this with one of his lungs compromised by tubercolosys
Jari is another master songwriter like Tuomas from Nightwish. I like the song Time from this same studio session even better than this song, and I LOVE this song. :D Your wife might enjoy Time better than this song.
Time next from same session
This song must be, for a drummer, what Dragonforce Through The Fire And Flames is for Guitar Hero players... ;)
As both... Yes. You are absolutely correct.
Good familytime for you 👊✨❤️🚙
🤘
Viking Battle Song ! 🖤
I have not like any this kind of music before. Not at all! Before I heard Wintersun first time. They really make this great way.
Next time little easier song, Loneliness (winter) from the Forest Seasons album... Sad but powerful song 🤘
😁🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍
Would you add more Audio volume pliiiiiiis 😊🎶🤘
Blind channel from Finland snake with gg6
Jari❤️
His voice is even more impressive knowing he is missing part of his lung
I'm in a pretty good shape, but I get exhauted from watching Kai going to town on those Drumms damn.. what a shape he must be in...I would need some serious Oxygen half way through that Song.
When it comes to murkiness of sound at the beginning, it might just be your headphones reaching their limits. Songs on this album often have hundreds of tracks layered on top of each other, so it tests audio reproduction like most songs just do not.
Maybe it helps you to imagine the growling or screaming for an orc, who’s marching to right against men. They don’t growl just for the sake of it.
