I am not a fan of certain growls, but with Wintersun, the growls are not overdone to sound over aggressive. I like clean growls that are not dominant for the entire song. These men can sing, and man, can they play the instruments that require so much technique. Really enjoyed this reaction.
Great review and reaction. Keeping it in direction next should be ”Land of snow and sorrow” and then ”Loneliness” with lyrics. You can seperate your music life in two phases. Life before and after Wintersun. You always return to listen.
Thanks for sharing another great reaction. Love that guitar intro, so powerful when the drums come in, building up and up with the great bass line and heavier guitars, into the valley, then to the mountain top with Jari's scream. And of course, Kai killing it with double kicks and blast beats. And not to be forgotten, deep, emotional lyrics about despairing for a lost love as your life fades away. And Jari is working on a new album, actually based on their fakebook, five albums! Supposedly, Time II is 90% complete. Stay safe, God bless, and keep rocking.🤘🤘🤘
Always gives me chills when Jari comes in with that initial scream 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Good one guys. Great reaction 🔥🔥🔥 Yep, Sami Vänskä was the original bass player for Nightwish before Marko joined
Anyone wanting to hear the guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari play heavy classics? Impressive! 'Don't Talk to Strangers' (Dio) and 'Rising Force' (Yngwie Malmsten) for example. Check out: "Netta Laurenne Official" Netta Laurenne is a Finnish female vocalist with a great powerfull voice. The band is called 'Run for Cover Band'. Excellent musicians, all of them.
This band just amazes me how technical and talented they all are love the work in the studio and seeing how they play you guys must be an this is some technical stuff but you guys rock and love your videos keep rocking and roll on
Darkness and frost are starting to reach The heart of this land with a cold disease Sleep now for a while before the storm awakes And one day it will reward you for the burden of wait The roots go deep into the frozen dead ground Listen to the land of snow, it makes no sound For ages searching the warmth of the sun If it never finds me, I can die as one Time will go on and we are drifting away in the night I´ve been searching so long, but I will find you even if it takes my whole life But tonight I feel so alone and I know that you are forever gone Oh time, don´t fade away when I need you here, oh please don´t leave me now Time! Time! Fades away! When time fades away! And I´ll never be the same Time! Time! Time! Time! You want so much from me, I feel nothing but grief and despair How can I make you feel again, All my dreams are just visions I can´t bear You want something that I can´t give, I cannot keep living in this bitter dream And I don´t care anymore It feels like my life is ending Oh, another year gone by But nothing has changed in my life And time goes on forever and ever And it waits for no one Time fades away And I fade away And I´ll never be the same TIME! Fades away! When time fades away! And I´ll never feel the same And I fade away! When time fades away! And I´ll never feel the same
🇫🇮👍Thanks to you wonderful people for sharing this song & your thoughts via TH-cam. If you ask me, this song is even better than "Sons of Winter and Stars". P.S. The Kanji on the neck of Teemu's guitar also means "time/moment".
Hi Crissy, don't quote me on this but as far as I can tell Jari is singing into a Shure SM7B. Kai back at playing 4/4 over triplets & 6/8, which I tried but failed miserably at (don't have double kick bass, haha). To me this is an almost perfect song, though I do feel that Mouseman has a point abt vocals/keys. As other commenters have said already, Jari plays many instruments. If he'd also join Nightwish, we could have it all: him and Emppu doing some of these crazy good countermelodies on guitars (if he picks up that instrument again) and Jari belting/growling it out with Floor to regain the full metal vocal blast they had with the unsurpassed Marko/Floor blend. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
Thank you again for good reaction. I don´t know if it has been mentioned already but i say it anyway, That Jari, the lead singer when being in the mandatory Finnish Army, contracted tuberculosis and lost 1/4 of his lungs, but dispite that has a powerful voice. By the way, the song " Loneliness " has lyrics.
Yes, awesome, here comes the Thunder! Click track, yes, but wow, that is tight. When Jari raises his fist, (Yeah!) that is facing Kai, let's go! "Busy", "ear candy", "Winterwish" :) Those guitars, sweet, Kai almost like the A-10 Tank Buster, Brrrrrrrrrt. Bass voices "Fade away", then the piano, Kai gets a rest to wipe his brow.
Kai joined Nightwish in 2014, made permanent in 2019. Jukka Koskinen joined them after Marko left in 2021, made permanent 2 months ago. Crissy is right, Sami Vanska was 1st Nightwish bassist before Marko.
Well that was another great one with my breakfast 😂. So funny when you, just for a moment, forgot that you were recording a reaction video. 😀 Btw. I wrote a comment on your lyric video of , Prelude To Cross an Ocean. I don’t know if you seen it, but I want to thank you for that. 🫶🤘🇳🇱
You need to get used to the idea that it is quite common in Europe for musicians to work with other bands and artists while remaining in their own band. Kai has been in both Wintersun and Nightwish at the same time, though Wintersun had to get another drummer for live shows if it clashed with Nightwish tours. I am not sure if Kai has officially left Wintersun even now. Jukka is in both bands as well. The singer and creator of Wintersun is Jari Mäenpää. Jari is pronounced YA-ree, with a rolled 'r' but that's pretty tricky. Jari seems to play a lot of the instruments when recording and calls on the others when needed. I think he enjoys working alone on his projects.
Great song, beautiful guitarsolo or duet, fantastic singer. But it is a lot to digest in once, very complicated indeed. Metal art I say. Still have the great 'Jinjer' to go, a lot simpler arangements, no synths but very virtuoso. From raw straight in the face to easy listening. It will surprise you at least.
Teemu Myntisaari is the darkhaired guitarist's name( i hope i spelled it korrect) He is also been called the black manta and if yiu would like to see how he uses his pick I will send a link 🤗
th-cam.com/video/_Vp4DXPNZGM/w-d-xo.html Yuurp here he is 🤗 Note that he is a fantastic teacher and some welltrained guitar players said that they learned as much in a couple of hours as they would have in a year by others 🤗
Ok, so if my request for Eluveitie is already in the pipeline. Might I suggest something very different. Something fun and silly but still badass. Try Alestorm-Drink or Nancy the Tavern wench. Alestorm is a scottish Pirate metal band. i love the brilliant musicianship of a Nightwish, Epica, Wintersun but sometimes sometimes fun party metal has its place.
Kai the drummer joined 2015 think the bass player has been with them over a year and he's really good but so far he isn't singing I think he can but tuomas hasn't utilized him yet but he could, Troy has been singing with floor and he's got a good voice but it's really not metal enough I miss marco anyway remember this a recording studio these guys are really good musicians God bless
@2ndhand Since you are going Finnish, might want to check out Wolfheart: "Aeon of Cold", "Zero Gravity", "Boneyard", "World on Fire", "The Flood". It's a bit more aggressive than you're used to, perhaps, but nonetheless it's effin' CRAZILY well written death metal. All available on youtube. Fuck. I sound like a damn commercial.
Awesome!🤘🏻😃 Would you like to react to some technical death metal? I've got a recommendation for you. Apparition by Spawn Of Possession (please refer to the lyrics for story)
Masterpiece 👌

Yep, just enough to make the point, then venture off somewhere else :)
Great review and reaction. Keeping it in direction next should be ”Land of snow and sorrow” and then ”Loneliness” with lyrics. You can seperate your music life in two phases. Life before and after Wintersun. You always return to listen.
"These guys are really busy..."
Just wait for it... 😉
I went to see them supporting Epica. What a night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😊🇫🇮❤️🎼✨💙🤘
And in a summer we have NightSun 🌞 🎶🤘
Wintersun is all Jari Mäenpää, the singer. He plays most of the instruments etc.
Next their song Loneliness. It really shows Jari's vocals.

Thanks Randall 😊
Masterpiece!:)
Darkness and frost are starting to reach
The heart of this land with a cold disease
Sleep now for a while before the storm awakes
And one day it will reward you for the burden of wait
The roots go deep into the frozen dead ground
Listen to the land of snow, it makes no sound
For ages searching the warmth of the sun
If it never finds me, I can die as one
Time will go on and we are drifting away in the night
I´ve been searching so long, but I will find you even if it takes my whole life
But tonight I feel so alone and I know that you are forever gone
Oh time, don´t fade away when I need you here, oh please don´t leave me now
Time!
Time! Fades away!
When time fades away!
And I´ll never be the same
Time! Time! Time! Time!
You want so much from me, I feel nothing but grief and despair
How can I make you feel again, All my dreams are just visions I can´t bear
You want something that I can´t give, I cannot keep living in this bitter dream
And I don´t care anymore
It feels like my life is ending
Oh, another year gone by
But nothing has changed in my life
And time goes on forever and ever
And it waits for no one
Time fades away
And I fade away
And I´ll never be the same
TIME! Fades away!
When time fades away!
And I´ll never feel the same
And I fade away!
When time fades away!
And I´ll never feel the same
Unleash the archers

Now you need to check out land of snow and sorrow from the same session
Well that was another great one with my breakfast 😂. So funny when you, just for a moment, forgot that you were recording a reaction video. 😀
Btw. I wrote a comment on your lyric video of , Prelude To Cross an Ocean. I don’t know if you seen it, but I want to thank you for that. 🫶🤘🇳🇱
Opeth- ghost of perdition (live at red rocks)
pls do more of Wintersun, appreciated it a lot!
The keyboards at the beginning give me chills. I have a suggestion for you : Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany. True masterpiece in my eyes.
It simply does not get better.
Where is your drummer? (I suppose Animal is that?) Ought to be here when you do those. A treat for the drummer, especially. ❤️
Hopefully, Animal will be back most of next week.

We're seeing that. Thank you. Y'all's metal bands rock.
Lyrics in this one are not long but hits hard.
Good 1 guys. Need some more Lovebites
My throat's hurting.

The first 5 minutes was very nice - then they started 'singing'.
Guess this masterpiece is not for you then huh?
@@IkeVMAX4 The music was great! Even most of the singing. I hated the screaming.
@@RossNixon give a try for the song "Loneliness" by them. Jari composed that song after his father passed.
Lol.
Then it got even better.
