      It is brilliant and it has to be as it carries the entire album. Time I is a well thought-through composition end to end but Sons Of Winter and Stars is what makes it stand out. Time is a good song by itself but doesn't bring anything new to the table. The other songs are just filler material. I cannot remember playing any of them on purpose outside the context of listening to the full album.

      I remember this is Jari's most ambitious work so far. He put time and effort to this, and he's prone to perfectionism. This is pretty... perfect :)
      After many listening I just kinda wish they'd use the double base and rest of the drums a bit more varied in the beginning. I mean it's good for the first attack for the first phrase where it comes. But the 2nd theme it gets with the chugging is more musical, more interesting Even slight pauses, and couple of speed changes would sound good. I feel the drums should co-op the quire a bit more there. And that would still not mean they would really lose something from the speed.

      @@jamespeterson4275 To this day it's one of the best written and best composed songs of all time, if not the best, and will continue to be until the 'end of time' itself. It will now come in modern quality, completely mastered anew. Only songs from Time II can potentially compete with this, and whatever Jari continues to write. An absolute masterpiece. Equilibrium's instrumental song 'Mana' is the modern answer to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. This however, is on another level.
      1500 tracks and more ideas than entire albums of other bands, beautifully put together. It was just like Jari said, Time I was a demo (although it didn't feel like it), but this live version ... holy shit.

      Keto is a fad, and may be harmful to certain types of cancer, even if there's some hints from animal studies that it might help against others, there's no guarantee that this is true for humans. It can also cause a number of digestive issues for your body, that you don't want in a weakened state. Do what your doctor says, and don't start something like that without consulting them first.

      ^ I'm glad someone said something. I suggest the path of proven medical science over potentially harmful/ineffective alternatives. If you're going to try different things, at least don't ignore professional advice. Do both, if you must.
      Anyway, back to Wintersun.

    • @TristanJCumpole
      @TristanJCumpole 5 лет назад +23

      Alternative medicine guarantees even less. "Official" medicine is proven, defensible and backed by people who have more often than not spent DECADES studying a very narrow field of medicine just so they can contribute something to a greater knowledge-based whole. Alternative "medicine" falsely raises hopes and provides zero expectations of efficacy. The best alternative medicine we have here in Finland is telling people like yourself to lick lamp posts midwinter. I suggest that you "look into" this.

    At first, when I heard a part of this song I didn't want to listen to it - not my style.
    But in the back of my head it started ringing and calling me back. After hearing about the band and these two 'rehersal' videos (with Time) I had to return to listen to it. Now I can't stay away for long. WTF?!?
    It just draws me closer and closer. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. THANKS for the talent and effort!

      There are forms of music that aren't my style but I recognize talent & masterful songwritting when I hear it whether it is what I enjoy or not. I've never understood why anyone that truly appreciates music could just write Metal off & ignore it their entire life because much of the best music written today is Metal. Is every band something exceptional? No, of course not. Especially when you're listening to pop-rock. Bands like Disturbed & Korn, for exaple. They do not stick out as something exceptional & if one thinks that bands like that are representative of the genre overall then I can see why someone wouldn't be impressed. Every style of Music is found within Metal. Nothing else is as interesting & it all pales in comparison next to Metal. Plain & simple.

    [I. Rain of Stars]
    Behold the rain of stars - The awakening of darkened skies
    Falling from the dark - The symphony of dying lights
    Behold the rain of stars - The blazing fire came pouring down
    Falling from the dark - And life and death became unbound
    Sons of winter and stars Rise!
    Sons of winter and stars Rise!
    Sons of winter and stars! Rise! Rise!
    Fly with us through the darkness
    Sons of winter and stars! Rise! Rise!
    And we shall embrace the stars
    And we shall open the doors of time
    [II. Surrounded by Darkness]
    I have awakened the darkness
    Taste the fear! Taste the pain!
    I am the one who seeks vengeance
    Into the darkness we fly
    Into the shadows they hide
    Into the darkness we fly
    They will never survive, they’ll die
    Oh they will die!
    I sacrifice everything, just for one moment
    I throw away everything that matters to me the most
    I’m flying through the darkness
    The fire casts a shadow on me
    I tear a part of my heart for creation of dimensions
    And we fly beyond the restless shadows
    We fly beyond the stars
    We fly beyond the birth of the worlds
    So old I’ve become - Thousand years staring into emptiness
    But now I realize - That it was just an illusion
    All this time I thought it was you that would save the sun
    Oh rain comes and washes the hate away
    Now I am at the crossroads with questions
    Somewhere, someday I will find what I am here for
    Who am I
    [III. Journey inside a Dream]
    I’m wondering now where will you take me
    From the horizon the light comes alive
    Into the mountains high we set our way
    Will we find our way in this long winter night
    I see the land of fading sun and rising mountains
    And I finally feel that I’ve found my home
    But oh, how it feels so cold when my dreams wither in fragments of time
    Revealing that this land will die
    Before the winds so cold
    The world was shattered in the fragments of time
    Before the autumn rains
    The coldness will again awake
    Falling snow, so soft and cold
    Dying moon cast down so weak
    Frozen lake, the dancing spirits
    Calling me to join in the cosmic dream
    The silence is tempting me now...
    [IV. Sons of Winter and Stars]
    We are the Sons of Winter and Stars
    We’ve come from a far beyond time
    Forever the fire burns in our hearts
    Our world shall never die
    In the arms of the wind we ride till dawn
    As the waves of the ocean grind so strong
    We wander in the stars until we’re gone
    Our fate is sealed by eternal sun [x2]
    Until we fade away - Fate will find it’s way
    Until we drift into the dark
    It’s not too late to find a way - Fate will find it’s way
    And fly in cold embrace of stars
    Mysteries of time
    Unfolding in cosmic dreams
    Leaving life and death meaningless
    Before the revelation of infinity
    Embrace the stars!
    The energy flows in me like a river of stars
    I’m surrounded by the circle of fire, but eternal ice has frozen my heart
    I’m lost in the pathways of time
    But now the time has come for us!
    We are the Sons of Winter and Stars
    We’ve come from a far beyond time
    Forever the fire burns in our hearts
    Our world shall never die
    In the arms of the wind we ride till dawn
    As the waves of the ocean grind so strong
    We wander in the stars until we’re gone
    Our fate is sealed by eternal sun [x2]
    We are the Sons of Winter and Stars! [x2]

      I wouldn't say they are underrated. They're one of the biggest bands in the Extreme Metal genre, and that's quite a large umbrella term. They frequently sell out shows, and have played in some pretty huge festivals. Maybe the genre as a whole is fairly underrated, sure, but Wintersun get a ton of recognition for being in a kinda niche genre.

The first song that went puplic (at least in germany) was "sleeping stars" through the Metalhammer magazine and that song skyrocked on top of the charts of every Metalmagizine even bevor the album was out. The fact that Ensiferium where on their prime at this time helped alot due the fact most metal interessted people already knew Jari for his great work and ear for details in making music at this point. The fame whent low due the extrem time between the release of the second album. some people just forgoten them and Time one, even well recieved, couldnt bring them the fame back. Way to much time has past. If they had pushed out their albums quicker, i am pretty sure Wintersun would still be the "Big Band" as 2004 where you could here the name Wintersun atleast once in every conversation between metalheads.

      @watchbabe5479 5 лет назад +3

      I think Jari might not have the vocal capacity to sing the song in its entirety, in its original key well enough in one take for him to be comfortable putting it out there. And I don't want to see a version with a lower key, because it could never live up to the album version like that. Perhaps he sings it in a lower key on tour, because it's too much for his vocal folds to handle while he's touring, screaming and singing as much as he does while on tour, though. I've been a vocalist all my life, so I know how that stuff is. The more you use and stress your voice, the more you "use it up". If he can sing it close to as well as he did on the album if he hasn't been stressing his voice beforehand in one take, I'd be all for it. I'd love to see it. I don't know which one of those two options could be the case with him.

    The quality of music is just beyond any piece I have met in the metal industry, period. Thank you all for all the efforts you do for this.

    I can't even put it in words how great this song is (dont get me wrong, all their music is totally awesome). For me this the best song I've heard in my 30 years of existance on this planet so far. I've listened to it so many times (I might have heard this song more often than the great god Jari himself) and it still amazes me every god damn time. Seen two live shows and it's a hell of a performance. I'm really really enjoying Wintersun for more than 15 years so far and I will do so probably for the rest of my life. If they are able to make the next album as good as the first three ones I would wait for it another ten years (pls dont).

    That scream at 11:30 feels like the universe itself collapses inside my brain.
    And I'm one with everything.

    Wintersun and Megadeth. Greatest metal bands in the world. Teemu proves that by being Megadeths new lead guitarist.

    Just EVERY time I isten to this song, it gets to me like the first time I heard it. The entire album is a masterpiece, but this is the most powerful song. I just wish there were more of this stuff around. I fear that when Time II comes around, it might not reach up to this level. This album is a once in a lifetime achievement.
