I had accepted long ago that I wouldn't hear any more Jari Ensiferum stuff, the old blackened folk metal style. Lo and behold, the man did it. It sounds so much like the music I grew up with and shows just how much influence Jari had in Ensiferum. I love it.
As a huge Children of Bodom fan, I always wished there would be some hidden collection of music Alexi had made around the Follow the Reaper/Hatebreeder days. This is exactly that, like opening some kind of treasure trove of material you always WISHED was there but knew never really existed. Well here we fucking are!
@@smote_his_ruin Well, no. That would be horribly unfair to Markus Toivonen (lead guitar), as he and Jari seems to have written most of it together. Jari wrote some songs entirely by himself (like "Token of Time" and "LAI LAI HEI", while Toivonen also did some songs by himself like "Treacherous gods" and "Tale of Revenge"). Jari wrote all the lyrics on both albums though.
Sometimes i go back to records i loved that were lacking of a ' good production ', such as Satyricon - Dark Medieval times. ( First one that i can think of ) But it's incredible how it's still good and I love it. Maybe it's all about the songs? But as a musician\producer, I do understand the need to achive the best production ever.
@@WintersunJari I've been going through literally everything you've made, I can speak for most of us when I say that your big production things are amazing, but EVERYTHING you have done has been amazing. Ensiferum, Arthemesia, Wintersun. I think most of us were just clamoring for MORE of you my man. And holy hell have you delivered on that with this preorder!
@@WintersunJari I love the big production, but stuff like this is what also makes us keep coming back for more. Good songs shine through no matter what. Congrats on getting this package finished!
I thought I never really cared if we would ever hear Time II because I was so convinced that it wouldn't get released. Now with this mega release with all the additional stuff, old Ensiferum style songs, songs that are in the spirit of the 1st Wintersun album which we all love so dearly, surprisingly I feel a big sigh of relief. I guess Wintersun (and Jari's music in general) had a bigger place in my heart than I thought.
Absolutely. It's pay the cost he's charging just for those. Fuck Time ll! ... Totally joking on that last part, but for me it's like time ll is the bonus material here. But it's a perfect scenario, altogether.
And then jari created time 2 and jari saw that it was good. I'm pushing 60 and am so grateful for the genius I get to hear each day. Makes me feel like I'm 30 again. Thanks brother.
I am broken! After the long wait and quite honestly losing hope for Time 2, to be getting so much, it is so emotional for me. Hearing this honestly brought me back to standing in my local record store seeing this less than earth-shattering album cover with the name Wintersun on it, and using the old demo headphones they used to have so you could hear the first 30 seconds of an album. My life changed in that moment forever and THAT is what I just felt again. If this is at all an indication of what we have to look forward to on the old demos . . . I am literally crying. I would pay for the package now even if Time 2 weren’t included!!!! Please keep these little previews coming, Jari! It’s like having oases on a long road through the desert! You are the GOAT without a doubt!
Out of all the AMAZING demo introductions you have released, this must be my favourite. The raw guitar, the melody, the skill, the vocals, the EVERYTHING.
I wasn’t even born when Jari worked on some of those demos, I feel quite privileged to be able to catch this with the time package all these years later. Thank you, Jari✨✨✨
Wow... these "demos" are just... wow! I will 100% buy the package. These Ensiferum-like songs are mind blowing for me. Really really good stuff. Jari did endure a lot of critics, but boy did he deliver now or what?!? Thanks Jari and Wintersun for the music!
The legendary demos will really be something special to listen to. Thank you Jari for letting us hear your early work, you are such an inspiration to so many of us, and to hear your early work really brings back that feeling of wonder and joy of discovering your beautiful music again. Beyond excited for 2024 wintersun music releases.
I'm almost crying... this is unbelievable...nostalgic...magic... this is Wintersun! It was worth the wait! Can't stop listening to these new demos/songs... dozens of replays will soon become hundreds! Thank you Wintersun for you art!!!
@@Mixxx98 yes, the world has never known a guy who's basically doing a symphonic version of what COB and the Gothenburg bands were doing almost 30 years ago. A true genius for the ages!
Absolutely incredible! You're spoiling us so much, Jari! As a long time fan, thank you. The impact your music has had on myself and others is immeasurable.
I bet he would be able to do the solo if somebody woke him up in the middle of the night, gave him any random guitar without any time to form a clear thought and just the first 3 to 5 notes in the right rhythm. The synapses are always there, the brain just forgets how to access them. But confronted with a chaotic 'panic' situation our brains can still do wonders :D
Thank you Jari for releasing this gems finally. Package orded and i cant wait to hear all these demo´s. To me these are even more waited that time2. And i´ve had the honour to meet you when Ensiferum just had released the first album and you guys wore celebrating it on Viking Line. The best cruise ever. I was the guy that Pete from Norther raise on the wall because my idiot friend said to him `"BalSagoth is estonian Black Sabbath* And the Jacuzzi with the mummos and heavy metal maniacs and do not forget the swedes that could not handlle the löyly(steam) in the sauna. Ooh sweet memories.
No one could foresee this. It’s mind-blowing to hear such a melancholy and magical track produced in the 90’s sounds so fitting for today. We all can hear the Black Metal influence but also feel The Path To Where No Band Goes. Amazing!
I didn't have any expectations coming to this video, and it's been definitely one of those "wow" moments. So glad I checked it out, and now very much looking forward to the new album release. Well done, Wintersun!
I understand why everyone is so eager for Time II-but I also _really_ like this older stuff. "New old stock" music from one of your favorite artists is a rare opportunity. I would probably have ordered the demos separately.
This is what we've been waiting for years! Never heard this song before, but got the feeling that met an old friend. That melancholy that songs of Finnish bands have, immediately sends me to thoughts and places in my mind, I've been missing long ago. The melody, the mood, the melancholy - this is what we love.
Jari, this song is absolutely amazing! The more little treasures you unveil every few days, the more and more excited I get for ALL of this! I love all the stuff you showed for Time II, The Way of the Fire sounds incredible; And I can't wait for Silver Leaves; And The Dragon Song on the unreleased Fantasy Metal Project is just glorious! I feel like I'm a kid on Christmas morning lol! The interesting thing is, I initially found your music because about 10 years ago, I was typing into RUclips search, viking metal and fantasy metal, and Ensiferum came up, and I loved it, but then someone was saying you have your own separate band called Wintersun, and I checked that out, and was blown away! I remember thinking, "This is the kind of metal I have searched for for years!" I have always wanted to listen to a 'fantasy metal' kind of music and that's how I see your music. Epic Fantasy Metal! I can't wait to hear all of the Fantasy Metal Project album! :D
Sounds interesting even if it's a demo. Not surprising but it sounds like early progressive Wintersun - blackened vocals and atmospheric - and I really can not dislike that.
This is so cool, the 90s synths and drum machine sound. I wasn't born yet but it really does remind me of a completely different time. This song in particular reminds me of Summoning a bit at times with that hypnotizing riff and drum machine sound, but with a more finnish melancholic sound. Looking forward to hear more!!
Jari, I love this! I can't wait to experience all the old unreleased content, I'm looking forward to it as much as Time II! I've missed this old raw, unrefined sound and your vocals are insane! If you hadn't told us you just recorded these in 2024 I'd have had no idea, you sound just as good in this style as you were back in the day! Thank you for these masterpieces and the undying passion to your craft for all these years!
Absolutely fantastic, this raw production is perfect for the melodic black sound, it feels sincere, direct, unaffected. shimmering synths and orchestrations are cool and everything, but this has the biggest character and heart, I am so happy you decided to share demos like this
Wintersun is one of two bands that when I listen to, I think "where the hell they come up with all this". The other one is Moonsorrow. Masterpieces after another. 🤘🏻
I love the raw feeling of this, it made me think about the past and feel so nostalgic. Can't wait for the whole package release! Glad to be able to support the band and thanks for all your hard work, Jari!
I do feel like it'll miss that 90s rawness if you fully re-record it. So I'd say: let Kai record the drums and remaster the original vocals and instruments (if Jari still has the isolated tracks ofcourse).
@@jeromefrancois9358 maybe, but this will absolutely suffice... especially for those of us who like melodic/atmospheric black metal production already.
Thank you Jari, that was great! I can't wait for more of your music to come into my ears, it's been so long and I'm glad I stuck around. Cheers from France! 🍻
Ok. Wasn't 100% sure before but now i have to buy the package asap! Throwback to the sound that made me love both ensiferum and wintersun. Genius idea to finally release these hidden gems!
Great as always Jari. And although I like the music of your past, I'm even more interested in the music of your future! I hope the preorder opens lots of new horizons for you :)
Amazing, Jari, how you manage to communicate with your music so clearly and touch our souls deeply, creating another universe of reality we can dive in to withdraw from every day's life. For me you are one of the most talented musicians ever. You are a legend.
WOW, this song is awesome! The drum machine actually sounds really cool with this and your vocals here are AMAZING, very black metal. I'm not sure what the song sounded like before you remastered it, but you did an amazing job because the sound quality is great. Absolutely awesome song Jari, looking forward to all the updates.
This is what we call "aitoa menoa"! As much as I enjoy the new Wintersun stuff with modern production, this kind of raw black metal-esque music always has a place in my heart. Can't wait to get the Time II package, so I can get more of both!
Oh man this sounds so great. Reminds me of when I first heard the first Ensiferum album as a teenager and it completely blew me away. Changed my life forever.
I am listening to this for about 20 minutes straight, again and again.. Sounds incredible, love these raw, Ensiferum-ish songs of yours. Can't wait for the whole PACKAGE!
I've been a follower since I listened Beyond the dark sun for the first time, Wintersun is a band of geniuses, the gods of metal will embrace you in their greatness
I come to this video every day. Jari, I've no idea if you'd read this, but on a 15th listen or somethig I realised that the ending of solo (~ 01:36 mark) gives me enormous vibes of Jason Becker works (End of Beginning particulary). Fantastic work. Stunning song, stunning guitar playing as always. Wondering how many gold gems are hidden in these legendary demos.
This song has become my favorite or actually it became my favorite immediately when I first time listened to it.Some kind of very special melancholy in this song, something that melts the frozen ice. Edit: just started to listen Walts of the vampires again and remebered, okey, this is my favorite too. Well, all they are😄
I had accepted long ago that I wouldn't hear any more Jari Ensiferum stuff, the old blackened folk metal style. Lo and behold, the man did it. It sounds so much like the music I grew up with and shows just how much influence Jari had in Ensiferum. I love it.

I'm glad you can enjoy and appreciate it, despite the lack of big production. :) - Jari

Weird how a song that I have never heard before makes me nostalgic
Perfectly said.
Just listening for the first time and I totally get what you mean
As a black metal fan and enjoyer of rougher production, this will be a joy to listen to
This is the style I love the most! I still listen to his Immemorial album regularly for that pure feeling.
I thought I never really cared if we would ever hear Time II because I was so convinced that it wouldn't get released.

Absolutely. It's pay the cost he's charging just for those. Fuck Time ll! ... Totally joking on that last part, but for me it's like time ll is the bonus material here. But it's a perfect scenario, altogether.
What a time to be a Wintersun/Jari fan. Brings a tear to the eye.
The production gives me a Windir vibe, truly legendary
OH THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS, I love the sound of it!! Also the "can't remember the solo" part is too relatable
And then jari created time 2 and jari saw that it was good. I'm pushing 60 and am so grateful for the genius I get to hear each day. Makes me feel like I'm 30 again. Thanks brother.

@@Esarix they probably are lol

Loved the ambientationn and atmosphere of this song, and also que sweeps, Thanks for another special experience Jari!
These old demos are the cutest things ever
Oh man, this song is amazing! I just can't wait to get the full package! And THANKS for using a Jackson guitar!!!
I didn't know i need that 6 hours of unreleased material, until i heard it existed, now i live to hear them! Jari, you are GOAT!

Great as always Jari. And although I like the music of your past, I'm even more interested in the music of your future! I hope the preorder opens lots of new horizons for you :)
Damn, this is so raw, and it's amazing! Sounds like a fusion between Melodic Death and Melodic Black Metal too. Really hyped for these old relics!
Amazing, Jari, how you manage to communicate with your music so clearly and touch our souls deeply, creating another universe of reality we can dive in to withdraw from every day's life. For me you are one of the most talented musicians ever. You are a legend.
Jari rocking melancholic ternary riffs from the beginning of time!!!
WOW, this song is awesome! The drum machine actually sounds really cool with this and your vocals here are AMAZING, very black metal. I'm not sure what the song sounded like before you remastered it, but you did an amazing job because the sound quality is great. Absolutely awesome song Jari, looking forward to all the updates.
I love how Jari couldn’t remember the less complex solo part but then ripped the crazy sweeps lol
This is amazing. The origins of Ensiferum and Wintersun. From this Jari carved music that is magical. I’m looking to hearing this in its entirety.
I'm going to say it, Jari is the greatest sweep picker in metal hands down💯💯💯💯💯💯
already was at... 17?
Oh this is awesome. I can't wait to hear the rest of the early demos when the Time Package launches.
Sounds epic, feels awesome and the funny stuff is a very neat plus :D
Holy shit the full version of this is amazing! Rest of it is completely different and the cleans at the end are so fire
I can't wait!!!
This album will be tremendously epic for sure
Thanks Jari by sharing this incredible demo
Greetings from France
This is what we call "aitoa menoa"! As much as I enjoy the new Wintersun stuff with modern production, this kind of raw black metal-esque music always has a place in my heart. Can't wait to get the Time II package, so I can get more of both!
The rawness instantly reminded me of Dissection and Mithotyn! I don't know why!
Oh man this sounds so great. Reminds me of when I first heard the first Ensiferum album as a teenager and it completely blew me away. Changed my life forever.
I am listening to this for about 20 minutes straight, again and again.. Sounds incredible, love these raw, Ensiferum-ish songs of yours. Can't wait for the whole PACKAGE!
I've been a follower since I listened Beyond the dark sun for the first time, Wintersun is a band of geniuses, the gods of metal will embrace you in their greatness
The leading melody is out of this world! It sounds great! 🤟
so hypeddd!!! here in Greece summer is really hot but with Wintersun's music maybe it's going to snow on 30th of August!!!
Wonderful! Such an exciting way to slowly unveil Jari’s Big Package!
