This is just a masterpiece. I'm never getting tired of this song.
Samat sanat. Same words... :D Tänään hain postista Wintersun t-paidan.
It keeps getting better over time (pun intended)
I've seen like dozens of reactions to this song and this one might be my favorite one. You're so expressive and really going deep to the feeling of the music that I can also feel the immense joy and pleasure in you. As an extremely empathetic person, I really appreciate that.
The drummer is out of this world! Guitars are amazing. And the vocalist is insane: his guttural voice, it's the "drive technique", like the drive used in guitars for distortion. Wintersun's vocalist is someone with solid vocal study - he goes easy from drive to natural voice and back. He has great range and beautiful tone too. Most singers blow up their voice doing it wrong, forcing throat and vocal chords to tense to the growling, neck veins seem they'll explode.
Who says magic don't exist. This song is proof that it exist.
This is pure precious metal from Finland! The drummer (Kai Hahto) plays now in Nighwish.
amazing band, amazing song and amazing reaction
Wintersun is undoubtedly one of the supreme resources of epic music in our history
You are absolutely right. Advanced nuanced metal. One of my favourite metal songs ever and I've been listening to metal for 35 years. 🙂👍
This is Legendary in my humble opinion.
I've got to agree with you, man, I'm 50 and have heard a lot of metal in my time (well, a lot of music, full stop! I love pop and classical as well!), everything from Deep Purple to Napalm Death, Celtic Frost, Agalloch, Alcest, Myrkur, Eldemar, and Wintersun are, hands down, the best thing I've ever heard, just fantastic in every area. Jari's an absolute genius!
You're absolutely right. I had a new layer popping up from the song after the sixth listening of this masterpiece.
This is now....maybe the 10th time.
advanced metal seems to fit. I always call them "The Pink Floyd of Metal Music" ;)
I just wonder what they put in the water in Finland and if they can send some over to the states so our music can be batter
If you recall, melodic death metal originated in Sweden in the early nineties with bands like In Flames, At the Gates, Gates of Ishtar and many more. I guess they stole our water and kept it for themselves, 'cause nowadays Finland is the one to rule them all. Fair play to Suomi. They deserve it.
If I answer this seriously, I think it must be because there are so many people who love metal. So there's always a quest for more music and new bands. You have to have audience, nobody wants to play in their cellar forever. And here in Finland you have a big audience.
Also the kids are encouraged to play music, any kind they want. Be it pop or classic or rock, we offer them a lot of free music tuition, starting from elementary. They are welcomed to express themselves in various ways, nobody disses metal.
Jari is one the two Finnish composing geniuses...and I think you know who the other guy is :). Agree with everything you've said about these guys...it's almost hard to listen to other bands after this.
Let me guess... starts with a T... :)

Honestly i feel like listening to classical/symphonic music helps more with understanding the nuances of Wintersun and other such bands because i feel like bands of this nature write more like classical than metal. Plus, all dem layers. Everywhere. Doing All The Things.
I was actually thinking how would a classical orchestra play this. I'd like there to be many drummers. And many cellos and contrabasses. Trumpets could do the choir parts. Strings as in the violins for the guitars of course.
Great reaction, but the other 2 guitar players also sing, they do all the back ground focals. And they almost get never mentioned, those 2 are also amazing, they also have a great range.
@Metallisika they both fo deep and high, yes tge deepest growls are from Jukka. My point was they both can sing fantastic, and that point was made... the bassist is also guitarplayer though bassguitar....
May i ask were i complained? Because to my knowledge i did not complain about anything
I've seen them on last Monday for the third time. They're so good live it hurts.
Legend has it, metronome companies use Kai to calibrate their products....
And when music is this good, who gives a crap what genre it is? Its Wintersun genre. Its a class of 1.
I come back to this video sometimes, and love it every time I do. Hedgy, you get so much of this stuff, and your critiques are always so on point. The number of just... clever little things that go on in the back of this, and the compositional skill that this and many other Wintersun tracks had to take is off the charts. Thanks for the fantastic metal content.
Masterpiece
Jari is just an genius man, how I love this man and his work ! Everything is just perfect, since his voice, the instrumental to his lyrics. This is my favorite song of all time. Wintersun and Time I are some of the best albums I've ever heard, so I was very exited to Forest Seasons. But in the first listen I thought it was an good album but noting exceptional, (except Loneliness, this song is an beautiful masterpiece) but after a few listens the album grow on my, I finally "understand the album", and became my favorite album of the last year along with Aathma by Persefone
I see how much you love this kind of music so you have one More fan👍🤗
I'm a Finn and an old metal fan. For some reason I don't understand myself, I found Wintersun at the end of 2017. I'm blown away, they are... Well, on the league of their own... React to their other studio lives, they are awesome! Also, if you haven't seen (or heard) 12 Foot Ninja, check them out! Awesome, AWESOME band! Totally underrated!
Thank you for this 12 Foot Ninja reference! Fucking brilliant music! What a awesome band! Tattista! \m/
from where he sings, "I draw away everything to me that matters the most" to the next part where he sings "I fall into the darkness" that little section is my favorite part of the song. So many intricate things happening at once, but yet sounding awesome at the same time as well. I really like the mini guitar solo right before you pause the video as well.
Greetings Hedgy! I'm just getting over my extended holiday hangover and finally catching up with your uploads. I'm so glad you did Wintersun as I've been meaning to check them out for a while. I wasn't aware the drummer plays for Nightwish now, but since I love Nightwish this little fact made me even more interested in hearing this song. Initial thoughts: Brilliant! I love it. What a great song and great band! I definitely consider myself an advanced listener and I thought this was magnificent. I'm also glad you added the disclaimer to listen beyond the first minute. I (used to until recently) follow another reactor who does album marathons and immediately skips any song that starts out sounding remotely ballad-y. He lost my sub with his recent Metallica marathon, as anyone with half a brain knows all of their 'ballads' change drastically halfway through the song. No matter how many of his viewers tried to explain this to him, he refused to listen and kept doing it. I just couldn't take him seriously after that. So kudos to you for letting your listeners know to wait it out. What a marvelous song! I'll definitely be checking out more of their stuff.
Hi from Finland ❤✨
I like how you broke the band, and their genre down properly. There is indeed, so much more going on in there song than us mere mortals could ever comprehend. I watched this video two years ago, and I was hooked right away. I never thought I would take a fancy to, "Melodic Death," but they gave me a safe entry into a fantastic journey. They have lead me to so many other bands that I never knew existed. Keep up the great work.
Nice reaction! Next up from the same rehearsals, Wintersun - Time and Wintersun - Land Of Snow And Sorrow. Time is probably my favorite song from Wintersun, and Land Of Snow And Sorrow is in top 4 as well! Amazing songs, as well as this one.
Fantastic reaction, thank you :)
Cool that you're also enjoy Wintersun! Jari is such a good songwriter and musician, not to mention the others in the band (they've got to be masters of their instruments to play that sort of music).
Since you mentioned in a video (the channel information I think it was) that you don't know much about hiphop it might be interesting to see you react to some? :) Mainstream (what's generally played on radio) hiphop never sticks with me, but the Army of Pharaohs/Jedi Mind Tricks guys are really amazing. I'd start off with Vinne Paz - End of Days, he's one of the main lyricists of those two groups.
Amazing reaction
That's it! I'm gonna get a Bon Jovi fan into this! lol great review mate \m/
Ha! Good luck with that.
Hey I like bon jovi but i love this
German and Nordic Heavy Metal bands are my favorite! They are highly creative, technical, aggressive. Songs and lyrics are outside the box of "industry". Rammstein, Tanzwut, Dream Theather, Children Of Bodom, Marco Hietala (and Northern kings Project), Heimataerd and the list goes on.
PS: Wintersun's vocalist is someone with serious vocal study - he goes easy from guttural voice (drive tecnique, like guitar distortion) to "natural" voice and back. He has great range too.
Face melting song!Love your react! \m/
Thanks for this as they are one of my favorite bands. Since it's fairly relevant here, I recommend you to check out "the American Wintersun" Æther Realm (don't know where this nickname originates from but considering I think the band members are quite the memey bunch they might've just spread it themselves haha). Anyways to see where this comparison comes from, song "The Sun, The Moon, The Star" is definitely the best one to go with.
As another request of sorts I'm gonna second user My Ninja Info Cards somewhere around here and his recommendation Haken. Really cool prog metal band from UK. Falling Back to Earth is great song choice as well, other cool ones I could recommend would be Cockroach King (definitely the full version not the single version), Celestial Elixir (has decent live video if I recall correctly) and Pareidolia (has official video).
Keep up the good work!
Such and amazing band and great reaction! I would like if you check out other older Wintersun tracks if you haven't recently. Anything from the first album or the other two songs from Time I from the same rehearsal studio. And there is one still unreleased song that will be on Time II that they performed live few times - The Way of the Fire. It's absolutely epic even though the sound quality is not perfect.
I think I'm gonna end up getting into this band. Listening properly with headphones is a must. The music is too busy to listen at a lower volume from speakers, like I usually do for these reaction/opinion videos.
Yep I'm hooked on this song and the new album.
Maybe you could react more Wintersun Studio live?
I'm a bit sad I only found out about them recently. I'm sure I've seen the name before, but just too much metal out there to listen to...I'll use that as my excuse :D Pretty much soared to my top10 of metal bands (If I do listen to something other than synthwave, I go for stuff like Soilwork, Disarmonia Mundi, Scar Symmetry, All That Remains etc.) and probably #1 on the most underrated list for sure. Great video!
Ootsä Ezzy? :D
thanks
Oh, and by the way.. If you like Jari Mäenpää (lead singer, guitarist) check out Ensiferum two first albums.. Ensiferum and Iron
I agree with all you said. Except that I find this is more satisfying to listen to compared to any song off TFS, which is lacking the level of technicality and epic scale that this song balances so well. This is Jari's masterpiece though, so it won't be topped any time soon, even by himself but that's ok =)
Wintersun would be huge if they put out albums more often especially some easier ones like their debut.
please react to other wintersun's songs, almost all of them are amazing
specially the four songs of their third album
Be'lakor - Countless Skies, for more beautiful death metal :-)
absolutely.
Yes indeed.
It really is. But it made me sad too. Melodic death metal, it's great and all, but that be'lakor album made me realise something: slaughter of the soul is melodic death metal and it is a feral savage work of violent beauty. I've not really heard that since. Death metal seems to have lost that wildness. I need something feral
@@matthewgodding777
It's called Melo Death for a reason
If I may make a suggestion please listen to SkalMold with a Orchestra Kvaoning is the name of the song it is beyond epic
try to listen "Fragment of light - Vallendusk"
If you like Prog-Metal, do Haken - Falling back to earth. Studio version, cuz there are not really any good live videos that do them justice.
I have all the Haken albums and I did a video for 'Initiate' a week ago......It was blocked worldwide
Well that's unfortunate then haha. That being said I have seen videos for Haken songs in channels like this so it might be the case of Initiate being official video which causes the problem here.
Dude react to kalmah swamphell please
gojira-l'enfant sauvage
In Flames - Moonshield plz
Great review! :D
With music like this, it's almost more fun to see the reaction upon hearing it for the second, third, etc time, as it takes a lot to digest.
But honestly, this music is no more advanced than classical music. I think aside from the "extreme" connotation, it's actually nowhere near as complex as many famous classical works. I think the unfortunate reality is that with streaming and the like, listener attention span, and willingness to *put in effort*, as you mention is required for this piece (which comes down to simply sitting down and paying attention to it), has dwindled. As a result, I would argue that the majority of people, at least around where I live, don't actually sit and listen to music anymore, and I think overall musical IQ and openness has gone down as a result.
...unless you want to break them.
😜
Yeah my father just says its noise. It's not to me.
He is incorrect ;-)
Thanks for the reaction video. I like watching people enjoy what I've enjoyed.
Appreciation towards metal has always been a taboo (satanists, devil worshippers, mutilators, wile beings). But it is just a form of music that is as beautiful as any opera, when done right, like this song. PS. you should try some of this: ruclips.net/video/qPIPy8sqvHU/видео.html They're Fins aswell aka. the folks who know metal :) With heavy nippon influence. ps. we make metal out of everything.
Greetings from Finland. You have great taste in music but look weirdly ageless, face like 30 but hair 60
Well I'm nearly 54 and i think the lighting is flattering me
I wish day and night that their midrange knobs were'nt set to 11. Must have been recorded in a Wishing Well. Drums sound like fish slapping a walrus.
Be'lakor has better riffs in general, if you pick any of their songs it will stand up aganist this song easily. Wintersun is more like casual melodeath imo.
Ya Boi Camper I like what I've heard from Be'lakor, but I feel they both offer something different. I, for one, gravitate more towards Wintersun. Good choices either way.
Certainly something that can only come from a Nordic foundation. Call me an old fart but I'm just not a fan of the growling vocals. By using those vocals you are limiting your appeal to the harcore metal community and bands such as this really could extend beyond that community because the music itself really is brilliant. However. I would take something like the supergroup Sons of Apollo over Wintersun just because of the vocals. ruclips.net/video/J_1N8kVYfkE/видео.html
Full Album: ruclips.net/video/yxMvr-bOo2s/видео.html
Kmuda Oscarfish It's just a singing style, just like opera, to each their own. Screaming and growling can bring a LOT more emotion to a song than casual singing, and are considered one of the hardest singing techniques to master
Just...why?! So many people are now doing those video reactions on few years old songs, albums and I'm asking WHY?! Is this starting to be cool or what?! No offence, but this makes no sense.
Hegotron usually they are requests, sometimes I just want to bring attention to things people may have missed. I'm not a music news website, this is just a place for people of a like mind to see stuff. Sometimes I just do things because I can like twisted sister.
You can do whatever you want. It's not about that you can not. This is something I see everywhere on youtube these days and it's just crazy. Like everyone just noticed that Wintersun exists and everyone should do reaction video on their many years old stuff.
Masterpiece
