Jari PLEASE.. Everyone wants IMMEMORIAL remaster... it would only have to be the 4 songs of course excluding Sadness and Hate. It would be a genius incentive for a new crowdfunder for old time fans. Come on jari.
I remember back in 2010, there was a massive snowstorm that hit us in Scotland that was christened "the beast from the east". I was on the bus to go see my gf at the time and we were winding through quiet country roads at night while an unrelenting blizzard was happening. Naturally, as all good men should do during a night blizzard, i put on Winter Madness. Never experienced something so damn epic in my life since. It was one of those rare moments in life when the stars align just for you.
I've heard hundreds of bands, but I have not yet found a guitar solo more epic than this song. Some Japanese bands come close, but do not surpass this solo.
Can you list some of those bands? I'm into that classical Japanese sound like When Time Fades Away if they're similar. They don't have to be orchestral, I was leaning more towards the musical style. I hope i made enough sense lol
@@alexsharp3481 Some old bands: Volcano, X-Japan, Gargoyle, Galneryus. Other "more modern ones": Takamiy, Janne da Arc, Sky Wings, Light Bringer, Area51, DELUHI, Matenrou Opera, Metis Gretel, Versailles, Far East Dizain... But they are all bands that vary a lot, and none of them are similar to Wintersun. With the more oriental folk style, When Time Fades Away style, you can try "Ningen Isu" and "Onmyouza", or lighter ones like "Kagrra", "D" and "yagakki band"
The intro is very beautiful.The song never cease to amaze me with the super macnificient guitar solo.Jari , you are forever my number one favorite metal musician.
The wintersun band itself, has taken a step in the life of music and consciousness. These works are beautiful, I have been following their work since I was a child. These music are usually soothing, hypnotic, and empowering to solve problems. All respect from Hungary!
What trully blows my mind is that right after one of the most complex, epic and hard guitar solo, the song naturally transition into an amazing kick-ass riff at 6:37. It's a prime exemple of how good Jari was ( and still is) at structure and composition.
This intro...When I heard it first time live in Gimle, Denmark. Damn I was so excited I couldnt believe it was real (Wintersun fan since 2004 and played those songs 50 billion times)
The good thing about the seasons is that they always come back. ;) But I have to admit that I miss the snow and don't want to have such a hot summer again.
I have now taken down the video I uploaded of this song and it's intro. If you haven't read the description, please go to Wintersun's BandCamp page and get these songs in the highest quality you can, the listening experience really is worth it.
I've owned the album since about 2010 but when I was going through a really dark time figuring myself out, I got to really appreciate and analyse the musical brilliance behind Winter Madness. It's my favourite track on the album now and hearing it even clearer with 2.0 is amazing. I came out the other side and even got a tattoo to commemorate the occasion.
@@nox4189 true. But I met him after a show and talked with him about those old songs and said he also wouldnt remaster them for the reason that he didnt write them. Oliver did. Jari did write sadness and hate, however.
I love this band! Words do not describe the magic! This has to be their best track, such a beautiful intro and then...FACES MELT!!!!! WINTER MAAAAADNESS!!!!!
Love the raw Wintersun sound more than anything, too much orchestral stuff drowns out everything else in my opinion, this is why I think the debut album is the best.
@@NoelVillanuevaMadrid So much time spent on the orchestral stuff too, I'm not saying that it's not good or anything, just the fact that it's not necessary to make a great album
@@NoelVillanuevaMadrid Sons of Winter and Stars and Time were both in this style, so are The Way Of The Fire and the other new song Storm with all the fast scaleruns that was first played a year ago or something. They even said that the the production and style of the songs of The Forest Seasons got an album of their own, because they wouldn't fit in with the "main" Wintersun style of the debut, Time I and Time II. A better saying would be that they never left this style, but released a separate album for the Forest Seasons in another style.
@@Melodeath00 I find it difficult to agree with you, there is very little to no orchestral keyboard kind of stuff on this album, just check this song out as an example, there's just basic background stuff, the drums guitar and bass are the front instruments overall
Thank you Jari for uploading this. Come to Newfoundland Canada. We don’t have any money but we have all the love for metal as it gets cold and dead here in the winter. You’d fit right in.
@@FIRChristian Most likely saving that for next crowdfunding campaign, he would be very stupid if he had them on his hands and just released them instead of including them in the next crowdfunding package.
He was asked this during the last crowdfunding, and said that he doesn't have the individual tracks for the first album, and due to some reason, possibly having something to do with copyright, he is not able to get them either, so it is unlikely they'll ever be released to the public.
@@EsaValkama Are you 100% sure? Cause I remember him saying something along the lines of he doesn't have them at the moment but he might be able to get them later. I guess we'll see.
I’m listening to this song under a giant mesquite tree in Tucson Arizona. This song just summoned two hawks to come perch above me so they could rock the F out too 🤘🎸🎶
I didn't even know this intro existed! This is bloody amazing honestly, what an incredible song, I totally forgot how insane your debut is because I haven't listened to it for a while. I'll go give it a few listens right now, looking forward for more remastered tracks from the first album, keep it up Jari!
Jari, will you be playing Land of snow and sorrow on Karmøygeddon this May in norway? We're dying to hear it live as you didn't play it live last time 4 years ago.
heard it 100million times but damn that solo still melts my brains.
Still does. Yep.
This solo remembers me Alexi Laiho in COB and Sinergy
Hello mister sandels
@@Slicedbread822 well hello there.
@@heavoc9793Good old Laiho❤ R.I.P.
Jari PLEASE.. Everyone wants IMMEMORIAL remaster... it would only have to be the 4 songs of course excluding Sadness and Hate. It would be a genius incentive for a new crowdfunder for old time fans. Come on jari.
He'd have to re-record everything. Probably doesn't even remember how all the songs are played anymore.
@@ilikevideos4868 He can just toss the demo to Teemu and let him figure it out
@@ErGiuPUNTO Haha, true.
@@ErGiuPUNTO poor Teemu ;(
@@ErGiuPUNTO That would be the simplest and fastest way though... 😂
Cheers from France! 🍻
This has been out for 20 years and still nothing tops that solo 🤘🏼
Good Lord, has it really been that long? And yeah, this is still the best guitar solo I've ever heard.
It's a beautiful april day and my neighbours are forced to listen to WIIIIIIINTEEEEEERRRRR !
They ought to drop by and thank you.
@@CrazyBrick30 they sure do \m/

This is no doubt one of the best solos of all time, but I still think that Tornado Of Souls has the best solo over
In terms of epicness i would say painkiller solo by priest is really close one
Into the Mouth of Hell We March or Like Like to Flies by Trivium both have solos combating this one imo
Get ready! AND GET TICKETS: www.fb.com/wintersun/events
Nosturin keikan lippu on odotellut viime vuoden puolelta jo tuossa laatikossa ;)
How about Slovakia someday? Would love to see you here!
Hope to make it to Roskilde! Are there going to be backstage tickets by any chance?
Tour UK as headline act pleaaaaasssseeee :)
For me this shit newer gets old. I am totally hooked for life.
The intro is very beautiful.The song never cease to amaze me with the super macnificient guitar solo.Jari , you are forever my number one favorite metal musician.
Gods damn. I love how much these guys sound like Ensiferum and Bodom both at the same time. Fucking intense!
This song just is and always will be on a whole new level of metal.
If guitar solos had a Nobel nomination... there is no doubt that they would already have
This song introduced me to blast beats. Since then...im addicted to this song, this band and any metal genre that does blast beats. Lol
So happy to have supported the Forest PACKAGE and get all the music Wintersun has put out to date. Can't wait for the next PACKAGE. 😉👌
That will take... time.
@@EpicNESMetal The time II release the next package is getting closer.
That solo will always be one of my all time favorites
The wintersun band itself, has taken a step in the life of music and consciousness. These works are beautiful, I have been following their work since I was a child. These music are usually soothing, hypnotic, and empowering to solve problems. All respect from Hungary!
This album will always mean more
Than I could ever put into words. ❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most compelling and downright beautiful solos in the history of rock and metal music! \m/
The talent of this man is beyond words.
its not a "talent" at this point. he is music himself
What trully blows my mind is that right after one of the most complex, epic and hard guitar solo, the song naturally transition into an amazing kick-ass riff at 6:37. It's a prime exemple of how good Jari was ( and still is) at structure and composition.
This intro...When I heard it first time live in Gimle, Denmark. Damn I was so excited I couldnt believe it was real (Wintersun fan since 2004 and played those songs 50 billion times)
Winter is fading away... :'( need more winter !
The riff before the solo is top 10 best metal riffs of all time IMB… probably top 5
The good thing about the seasons is that they always come back. ;)
But I have to admit that I miss the snow and don't want to have such a hot summer again.
Same
just wanna say to you guys that your music is AMAZING!
This warm, safe oasis is just a mirage... Beautiful cover
Happy 20th Anniversary, Wintersun!!! 🤘🥳🤘
I have now taken down the video I uploaded of this song and it's intro. If you haven't read the description, please go to Wintersun's BandCamp page and get these songs in the highest quality you can, the listening experience really is worth it.
Good shit
Well done!
Heard the song a million times on your channel before lol

It's my favourite track on the album now and hearing it even clearer with 2.0 is amazing. I came out the other side and even got a tattoo to commemorate the occasion.
Even in mid-summer, I still need that Winter Madness!!!! HAIL WINTERSUN!!! 🤘🤘
Another insane masterwork. More than 20 years as I listened it for the first time. Ah, time, cruel rapid time...
It's really similar to the firs demo, isn't it? I love every arrangement of this track. One of the best works in Wintersun career.
Hey Jari, will you, one day, do a remaster of Immemorial's songs ?
I super doubt that
He said no, wants to focus on new songs.
IMMEMORIAL REMASTER
@@lionmane156 Sadness and Hate was originally an Immemorial song, right? Maybe there is a slim chance of remastering old songs.
@@nox4189 true. But I met him after a show and talked with him about those old songs and said he also wouldnt remaster them for the reason that he didnt write them. Oliver did. Jari did write sadness and hate, however.
i added the demo intro to the "original" song like 10 years ago and i felt like a pro audio editor/mixer
and finaly this epicness come out!
WTF, my all time favorite Wintersun song! That solo... Thanks Jari, no need for porn today!
😂😂😂
👌😎🤘
Jari is such an impeccable songwriter \m/ Hate that I missed my chance to see the band last year. Hopefully I'll get another.
I hadn't listened to this song for years now, and to come across it randomly now gave me chills the entire song! Ah, Jari on guitar...
I don't know, wintersun just came one of my favourite bands, they're awesome and everyone knows it.
Amazing.. Thank you, Jari! 🤘Can't wait to see your show again.
Yesterday, Rock the Coast... Simply amazing. Thank you for coming to Málaga, I know you make big sacrifices. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did!!
I've heard this 1000 times. Yeahhhh 🤘🤘🤘🤘
You did it! TIME 2 on its way
This is madness. Brilliant!
Planning on having the intro part played at my wedding ceremony
wow, it sounds super clear now in comparison
Ahh that intro is so good. This song makes my day everytime!
Ah the song that got me into Wintersun.
I love this band! Words do not describe the magic! This has to be their best track, such a beautiful intro and then...FACES MELT!!!!! WINTER MAAAAADNESS!!!!!
Hi Jari, guys here
Still one of my favourite songs of all time ! Fuckin incredible man!

I agree with you, but unfortunately I doubt they'll ever return to this style.

This is my favorite of your solos, Jari!
MAJESTIC METAL!
Come to South America please !
Come to Brazil (:
Wow! thanks Jari ❤
If you guys extended the anniversary tour to here in the South hemisphere too, it would in fact be winter! \m/
when i grow up i want to be like jari
\m/ Wintersun my fav band ever..
...but winter just ended
Obviously you don't watch Game Of Thrones, because WInter is here...
Saapuu..
TAKA TAKA TAKA TAKA TAKA TAKATALVIIIII!
5:40 Best Guitar solo ever!!!
В моем юношестве сразу открыл CoB, после появились винтеры... И те и эти мегакрутые... Thank you for all!!!
Surprised they rearranged the order of songs on the remastered version
The fact that Winter is written with capital W says it all |m|
Still dont understand why people say Wintersun ist Melodic Death Metal. Always seem Black for me and will be. \m/
sounds amazing Jari. Stiiiillllll waitin' on Time II though.
Thank you Jari for uploading this. Come to Newfoundland Canada. We don’t have any money but we have all the love for metal as it gets cold and dead here in the winter. You’d fit right in.
Time II is soon 20 years old, how long until you release it?
Starchild official lyric video please!
Debut isolated tracks please :D
This is literally what everyone wants. Wish he'd deliver.

Was playing in the Rime of the Frost Maiden adventure for Dungeons and Dragons and it reminded me of this album I bought in college.
Eargasm incoming! 🤘😎🤘
Cheers from France Jari! 🍻
We need the Immemorial remaster please!
I’m listening to this song under a giant mesquite tree in Tucson Arizona. This song just summoned two hawks to come perch above me so they could rock the F out too 🤘🎸🎶
Perfection!
Beautiful ! 🤘🏻
Amazing as always!!!!
very good as always.
For some reason I think about Theoden leading the Rohirrim into battle one last time at Minas Tirith when I hear this song
Hola jari. Cuando vienen a Santiago de Chile ?? Saludos habrazos
Soothing to my eternal darkness and loathing
okay so putting all the lyrics like that in on picture is an official lyric video xD
that's my humor !
Glorious!
>End Of April
Me: WINTTEEEER, REALM OF ETERNAL ICE, SNOWFALL, DARKNESS AHHHH
