People still hate on this album because it isn't Time II, but they're overlooking what an absolute jewel this is. The last song especially gives me chills every time.
Genre: Jari Maenpaa
He definitely earned his own genre. You can definitely tell it's him when he works on music.
*slowclap*
Maeenpaeae
closest description with mortal words would be "Blackened Symphonic Folk Power Metal"
But I prefer "EPIC COSMIC WINTERY POWERFOLK SAUNA BONANZA"
Jari Mäenpää
i have autism and often problems with my emotions.but finnish metal makes me happy for sure;) thank you guys love you
@Pien Snijders I have autism too and Wintersun is amazing I agree! There music puts me in a good mood to when I’m feeling down.
do you lift weights? if not then you're not totally autistic
@@sidoso9810 what? That doesn't make sense.
@@alickandreades6314 it does, we retards need to lift weights
@@sidoso9810 yes indeed
To be honest you damn rock, Wintersun. To upload your full album and include the lyrics on screen was so damn epic and considerate of you. Will buy it this week for sure!
im going to buy a copy just to support them.
It was a crowdfunded album so might as well. If I recall correctly it was 450,000€+
That was back when Wintersun made music and had band members
There is a vinyl re-release of this album at Nuclear Blast Records, which I ordered today.
40:28-41:02 is the most epic thing I've ever heard and I've been listening to this genre for 20 years
Genre: Divine Metal
yep
no, it's just orchestral/melodic black metal
@@MrMusicopath 🙄
@@adriennfloratoth8512 forest is different than their previous albums, is more black metal to me
50 minutes of goosebumps.
the other 4 minutes?
@@jordantasevski2993he died of the goosebumps after 50min.
I lost someone I loved very much, and have been numb for days, unable to feel anything but a cold anger at the Universe. This album pulled my heart back into my chest and has allowed me to grieve. I’m so grateful.
Allow yourself a lot of time to feel through the emotions, it's the way to heal. You are not alone, much love.
12:30... it's like listening to the old Ensiferum
it's precious
"Hi Jari, guys here"
TheHourOfPain1 jari hi, here guys
Jari guys, hi here
Here hi, guys Jari
Lol.Let me try.
Guys , hi ! Here's Jari.
Jari's here hi guys
The word "epic" is thrown around too liberally these days, in my opinion. This album is the type of album it was meant for. Truly epic in every sense.
Quick access links :)
01 0:00 Awaken From The Dark Slumber (Spring)
02 14:40 The Forest That Weeps (Summer)
03 26:58 Eternal Darkness (Autumn)
04 41:06 Loneliness (Winter)
Thanks Dude \m/
Thanks so much!!
you da real mvp
This has been on repeat for the 10th time, still finding new parts in the music, so much depth and detail, love it! Imagine how Time II will become!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Thank you.
Biggest problem with this album is that it is very hard to go anywhere, because when winter ends it is again spring and another hour goes by
12:24 Easily one the best transitions in a metal song
Geez... I never wanted that Winter part to end
Waiting for a second spring
This makes my life better.
Exactly
Time II will do the same in August :')
Is it legal to write such an epic music?
It's not just legal !! It's fucking blashphemy !!!! And a fucking beautiful blashphemy !!!!
~is it legal to be allowed to listen to all that epic music for free? . . .
To be honest im amazaingly surprised they uploaded it all. But I not exagerrating when I say Wintersun have the most dedicated fanbase in the world. Out of the 100k views/playthroughs im sure 70k bought the album, and already preordered it!!
yes, I think so too. I bought the album (FLAC) the first day although I knew it would be on youtube and, of course, Spotify. But I simply had to, I am listening to this masterpiece many times a week and I can't get enough...
kyle emil
Stupid
Metal Album of the year
Skulltaco
Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ...
NO
Metal album of the fucking decade, tied only with Time I
Winter, Jari...
We have been played, but we are not fading away. Gather all your strength! We are not alone. What has happened to us has happened to many. There is more to life. We will prevail.
Edit: I have only come across this tonight, and have been listening to Winter over and over. So much craftsmanship, musicality, expression. You have my deepest respect! What a deep thoughtful piece of art. 99% of current "musicians" can pack up and go home. They've got nothing on you.
Hey Jari, this is me personally reaching out to u man, i was having a really bad time in my life. I was in my lowest point ever dealing with depression all the time. This record made my life just a little brighter, extreme metal in general is a cathartic release for me, but u as always with Wintersun hold a special place in my heart . Thank you !
It's been a year since u commented this. Have a relisten to this album lest you slip back into the dark!
@@fartz3808 - As you seem to be able to make only bad jokes of others distress and honesty it would be best to keep them to yourself... 🤔🖕
@@mikkostenberg1740 It wasn't a joke. I think you're just overly cynical that you've been conditioned to read sarcasm in concern.
@@mikkostenberg1740 it wasnt a joke. It was a reminder made in good will.
Can't say the same about you. So it would be best for you to delete it.
You're the only one being negative here.
this shit bring u out of depression????
u need God and his son
period
to be free
for real
peace u will have
Funny how we all basically walk in the snow in life. Sometimes it is deep and hard, but sometimes its light and sun shines beautifully trough the skies in cold winter days... But eventually our trails stop somewhere and slowly snow covers all like we never even where there... Snow has no memory.
Dogs Del this...is probably one of my favorite things that's ever been said
This comment moved me man, thanks.
10% of the master words, this is a journey. Endless one
Shame on you for using snow in a negative connotation.
beautiful
When I realized it was actually the band itself who uploaded the full album I immediately purchased the whole discography. Love those CDs. And my wife started to listen to them while driving. :D She loves them too. (neither of us is actually a metal fan, but this is just way too musical and way too good to resist)
Maybe it's a gateway drug to a new love for you.... METAL!!!!!
Won’t you stay awhile and listen...
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi Wintersun isn't a gateway to anything but more wintersun
@@are3287 Disagree. If someone isn't necessarily into metal, Wintersun will open their ears to a whole new world of music (despite Wintersun being rather unique in their own right).
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi new to the metal genre, so far i enjoyed my journey trough nightwish and wintersuns discography. Do you have any more recommendations?
for me this is the band of this century ... i think i am not the only one who thinks that way. Thank you Wintersun
Fuck this is so badass. I feel like owning a farm and settling down someplace hillside in a beautiful European landscape
No. In forest alone in small cabin, closest neighbor 20miles from you. That's it.
A new metal genre has been created... the 'Wintersun-type metal'. The more you create, the more awesome it becomes... seriously, sky is the limit for you guys, and people are slowly but surely getting to you.
Holy shit... this deserves a special place at the side of Winter's Gate by Insomnium for me
Indeed Sir Johnson
Winters Gate is amazing!
quite a musical phenomenon between 20:21 and 23:30 - a unique blend of italian Renaissance rythm, Indian traditional sitar followed by an awseome metal guitar riff in a powerful and fierce splendor! thank you, guys!
39:20 One of the most epic moments in Metal in the last 10 years
I could listen to this all day, and dream of swimming in the ocean of stars.
I’ve never heard something like this 😮😮 it is absolutely magnifique OMG I’m sooo amazed!! I can’t stop listening to Wintersun ! The more I listen the more I’m loving 🥰 what a great and amazing discovery 🥰🥰
Fuq me, yeah bro 🤝
Albums like this is why Wintersun will most likely be my favorite band forever.
It's insane I've just found Wintersun last year and this is just my first time listening to this. As a 30yo finnish lifelong metalhead. I'm kicking myself. Then again, hearing something for the first time is always magical. I'm only 4 minutes in and I can't wait where Wintersun is taking me tonight.
You need to hear Ensiferum's first 2 albums aswell
Finland is even more metal than Norway
So basically this is metal Vivaldi right?
Uhmmm.....maybe even better than mozart vivaldi chaikovski if he keeps this line. I don't even know how this shit works, for me, hes a MASTER
Not even close to being as well composed as Vivaldi. But some compositional ideas are here.
I prefer angel vivaldi
@jasper426 20:23 to 23:41 is a good example of good motif development which is all over classical/baroque music in many forms and spanning whole compositions. If Jari could drop the pop choruses and jarring transitions and focus on those composition components instead (and he clearly can), then you could compare him to Vivaldi! And I say this out of love since this is by far my favorite Wintersun album. Jari has the skills to compose true greatness in my opinion! Cheers!
just no, the fact that have orchestral parts in it doesn't mean that is an equal composition
Loneliness (Winter) is the crown of this album.
Album of the year for me
Me too.Nothing compares with it !
The year it came out, so this year, obviously
This is better: ruclips.net/video/RStryaNG-Yg/видео.html. Valhalore - Voyage into Eternity Has the same drive as Wintersuns debut album and somehow the joy of making music shines through more than on this latest effort By Jari.
Gonna have to disagree with you. While TFS may not be for everyone for me and many others it is really special. Personally, I loved everything about it. Valhalore sounds pretty good though but it's not really my thing I guess.
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad there are enough people who LOVE Wintersun enough that this album was released because there can never be enough epic metal in the world. To me Forest Seasons is a collection of good ideas but the end result lacks focus. The songs could be half as long and the message would come across. But then there would have to be 4 more songs to be "a full length album"...
Masterful storyteller. Masterful guitarist. Msterful vocalist. Masterful arranger...Holy shit... Jumalauta!
A full solar eclipse viewing this morning and now this. This day couldn't possibly get any better!!
unless a suprise bj
The last 8 lines of lyrics on this album rips my heart out and throws it at my feet as the cold arms of death embrace my soul. I then drown in the torrents and tears of despair as my vision fades to an ink-well nothingness. I just cant put it any other way. ❤
21:55 🎶✨ no one has a better guitar sound than Wintersun
Man. Wintersun and most metal bands have so much talent. More talent than the pop star hacks my country reguritates.
Even if you don't like metal no one can deny that this music impressive
I saw them last night, and these songs sounded just like the album. I was tripping out, because I thought that the guitars weren't plugged in, and it was a backing track. That is how good it sounded. It was my first time seeing them, and was amazed by the entire band's performance. The Forest Seasons truly is a masterpiece.
Yep, it sounds just like on CD. I got to see them in Los Angeles on the 23rd at The Mayan. There was so many times I could not believe how good they sounded and I even teared up they were that good. Very memorable night.
Yeah, but the CD doesn't really sound that good though. The mix is a big pile of mush.
I'm not tired to repeat that this is a masterpiece!!!
Ei yhtään pahaa sanaa koko levystä. Sopivan rapsakka, ei ylikypsä. Hennon mausteinen ja yrttinen sekä erittäin metsäinen. Mäntyvivahde, maku hivenen sammaleinen. Bueno!
Music that leaves a trace in the soul! Music that will remain in the hearts of those who accept it as the call of a wanderer from other worlds. Thank you, Wintersun!
I'm in love with "Awaken From The Dark Slumber" and "The Forest That Weeps"
Fehu Uruz because you have a great taste
Fehu Uruz you forgot "and eternal darkness and loneliness"
I am in love with Jari Maenpaa :))))
me too
That spring song its my favorite 💜
Fucking masterpiece !!! Their best album !!!
I can't believe this album is already over 4 years old. Some sources were unkind with their reviews of this record, but for me, its been a modern classic from day 1.
Whoever was unkind to this masterpiece deserves to be ridiculed as the frauds they are
fuck their reviews
Jari's clean vocals are pretty damn good on that last track. I got Devin Townsend vibes for sure!
Yeah, totally, he gives it his all
fans of Devin Townsend, Insomnium, Wolfheart, Gojira, Opeth come for Wintersun, its beautiful. :)
Really great vocal performance on the last song !
@@andyboustany5802 Thought exactly the same!
Yep, much prefer his clean vocals. Great voice.
28:40 Eternal Darkness (Autumn) = Goosebumps... Holy shhh... What a monstrously brilliant masterpiece!!!!
I appreciate the fact you posted the whole album on this platform, with that really great video, for the world to listen and experience. Thank you, you are awesome!
Jari mixes Emperor, Bathory and Burzum really well on this album. As an old school black metal fan it's fun to try and spot all the influences.
Great album : Old Ensiferum vibes (obviously), Dimmu Borgir vibes, Children Of Bodom vibes, Mithotyn vibes, Rhapsody Of Fire vibes, Summoning vibes, melodic and atmospheric black metal vibes, melodic death metal vibes, folk metal vibes, power metal vibes.... everything here is great
After years from the day wintersun released The Forest Seasons, today I sat down listening to this great masterpiece. I lost in time at all.
jari is the best musician of finland!!!! He is super creative!!!!
An already legendary album
This is what I was waiting for.
man !! loneliness is fucking amazing I've listened to it a hundred times by now
indeed you are!!! exactly beautiful
loneliness is fucking amazing when you have Wintersun
Its a masterpiece!!!
Of course it is! Wintersun only makes masterpieces.
OMG I love your profile pic!
@@cestarianinhabitant5898 According to who's standards? And what criteria are you judging it by to state that it's a "masterpiece"? There's no such thing in artistic mediums like music, because it's ALL subjective. You don't have to overblow everything by using exaggerated terms like "masterpiece" or "best". Simply saying that you really like or love the music is enough.
@@Syklonus Wow, look at the stick up this guy's ass, it's fuckin huge.
this isn't music this is fucking magic ⛆⛈🌞🖼⛧
pure diamond in a world of gold
Fucking Jari! This damn Winter Madness makes me depressed beyond imagination. How can you come up with such insane and intense music?! Damn it man. I am inches close to put my life's savings to help Wintersun record Time II.
Always takes a lot of listens to truly appreciate Wintersun. Especially Time and now this album. I didn't like it first listen. Liked it better by the third listen. Now, quite a few listens later, my hair is standing on end and I have goosebumps. This is a masterwork. Amazing how 12-15 minute songs can fly by and you hear different stuff every time you listen. I listened to Time I non-stop for like a year and it was always new to me.
Different genre but i felt that way with Boards of Canada, hard to get into, but when I did, I had a new favorite song every week
if you need to listen to this for 10 times to like it...something is wrong with you...
I had it on a loop in my car and after about 50 listens it's still getting better! You just keep noticing more and more nuances
Death-Sound of Perseverance did that to me. The more you listen the more you realise the masterpiece it is.
Megadeth- Rust in Peace
Exodus-Tempo of the Damned
Warbringer-Worlds torn Asunder
Children of Bodom-almost ever album for me personally
This is working its way into that list
Yeah this one took a while for me to get it.
I was at the dentist and while she's cleaning my teeth, I ended up listening to songs of te album and it got me relaxed 😌
I love forgetting that bands exist then coming back to new albums. fucking YES.
Probably the most talented and original band ever created in any genre. Literally the Gods of Metal.... 🖤🖤🖤
I can understand why some people would think this album is imperfect but I don't really understand those people who thought it was a bad album. I mean compare this to 90% of the metal that's out there these days... it's definitely got wayy more going for it. I personally think it's great.
So much this. I always have the feeling that some parts (especially in autumn, even if the song is otherwise great) are not very true to the concept of the record, some parts feel a little bit dragged out to much, an there are moments in which I find the songstructure to be a little bit alienating. It is not perfect, but some of the arrangements and the insane attention to detail here make this record still a fucking masterpiece. Is it best record of all time? Nope. Is it the best of the year? By far, even with it's flaws.
I think most people are just not into this strange melo-death with blackmetal aesthetics. Because objectivly I can't think of that much to criticise here.
Because it's boring, uninspired, and the mix is all over the place. It's mediocre overall, but given the hype around everything Wintersun does it's just a huge disappointment. Not a surprise though to anyone familiar with Jari's antics over the years. I was hoping I would be wrong and it would be great, but this is pretty much exactly what I expected.
compared to 90% of melodic death metal that was out in the last 2 years this album is mediocre at best. Last Whispered is outstanding when compared to this, same with last Swallow The Sun and Insomnium.
Stillness Solutions Besides Loneliness it is mediocre garbage. Raise your standarts up a bit and when compared to other Wintersun work it is complete utter shit. Not loneliness though , that shit is perfect.
Christopher Fox hi Chris. Still hating? Your persistence is epic man. Congrats
IM BUYING THIS SHIT TOMORROW, THEY DESERVE EVERY FUCKING DOLLAR
I miss the old Ensiferum days, but it was great to see you in concert!
This has been on repeat for the 10th time, still finding new parts in the music, so much depth and detail, love it! Imagine how Time II will become!
Dude that is exactly what wintersun is known for, at least for me.
Finally, after 58 hours uploading it, thanks jari, jose here
Oh the beautiful silence!
Spring is best
Wintersun - The Forest Seasons (Official Full Album). THE FOREST SEASONS NOW AVAILABLE IN WINTERSUN'S OFFICIAL BANDCAMP PAGE: wintersun.bandcamp.com
Enjoy guys! And THANK YOU for this awesome year!!!
WintersunJari when we find this album at spotify??
lauro soberanes November
Thank you very much Jari. You're a great musician and songwriter.Very talented singer and you have created many beautiful songs for me to listen and enjoy them very much.Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart !
This album is fucking awesome !! The music is magnificient and beyond the reach of mortal humans !!
Ohh....this is so fucking grrrreaaattt !!! Jari ............. !!! I love you very much !!!!
Really enjoyed the isolated tracks in the forest package. I am in particular amazed by how complex the vocal tracks are.
Hey Jari, really awesome that you put the whole album on youtube so everyone can listen to this amazing album!
I bought the album after i heard all the songs on youtube because then i was convinced this album was worth buying and thought that this album would be even better in HQ(which it is!). Hopefully even more people will buy the album now they can give it a free listen. Anyhow this album is fucking amazing! Spring and winter are my absolute favorite songs of all!! Btw can't wait to see you guys live with Arch Enemy in The Netherlands in january :D the recent live video's ive seen are sooo goooood!!
Jari, your are truly touched by the Divine! Whatever mystery is at the heart of why life is more than just a meaningless sequence of moments bleeds from your pen. You are more than a musician. You are a prophet! When you create, I feel the Creator. Never stop! You drag my earthbound heart out of the clay and into the eternal. Words simply fail!
Loneliness will be awesome to listen during our long and cold nordic winters. Greetings from Québec City, 🇨🇦 Merci Jari
A song from Finland about forests in the summer and no mosquitos were mentioned ^^
I will definitely be purchasing this album along with the previous albums if they are still available for purchase physically.
2021 and this is, for me, still one of the best metal albums I have ever heard.
This needs to be played with a symphonic orchestra.
I want to see that before I die.
Finally it's time for a takeover of my playlists by Wintersun. Winter is coming and no other artist has a better soundtrack for this season.
This is real art. Perfection !!!!
It's magical...
Bunch of people saying the album is wack... fine.. You can easily tell this dude Jari is a workhorse and the time he put into creating this is respectable in it's own right. Making an album is hard enough as it is... Plus, his vocals, while great before, have improved immensly. And bands evolve... get over it.
This album is better than Time 1, change my mind
I don't like it because I don't like it. You like it because you like it. No other reasons are needed, such is the nature of subjectivity. No sense in getting butthurt of a difference of opinion, becasue there is no "good" or "bad" in artistic mediums like music.
And if they don't have any material of their own heard by anyone other than their garage buds and their moms shouldn't be allowed to comment. Especially disrespecting someone's creativeness. That should have been left behind like middle school.
On a more positive note - sweet stuff Wintersun! Just discovered you, who do I blame for hiding you and holding out on me? Nice sounds!!!
@@mayolicious69 I listened to that yesterday for the first time in a long time, same with this one now. I'm inclined to agree with you. Both have a nice atmosphere but this one has cooler riffs.
@@Syklonus nah thats wrong. who says they dont like this album or wintersun they dont understand anything about music. think about it, probably 99.99 of the babies doesnt like metal music . Why ? because they are not capable of understand and like this kinda music. Grown ppl are also same. Who doesnt understand how awesome this songs are they know nothing about music... they r still living with baby lvl music brain.Thats all... fck stupid rappers who think they r listening music , fck stupid ed sherran, mario gomez etc listener fools. İf u think this is subjective opinions and respect these morons cuz what they listen fck u too bro... :)
I've listened to this album when I was hiking through an old forest, what can I say, it was epic. Thanks wintersun!
I living in Russia, my finnish friend from VRchat told me about that amazing band. Now i listening for 3 weeks already! Love it!
This is probably my favourite album overall. From all the albums I've listened, this is the one that just sticks. To me, this is perfection.
This is a work of genius, and the production is so majestic !!
*One of the best records ever made.*
Thank you.
And to you, my tears and my heart.
I listen to all types of metal / rock music but man i gotta admit, Wintersun's music is so so different.
Can't wait for the next album !!
This is a masterpiece by a group of masters.
Basically Dimmu Borgir copycats.
majesty, your people demand a quarantine album.
Ich war voriges Jahr im Norden von Finnland 2 Wochen wandern , da habe das erste mal Wintersun zu hören bekommen und bin seit dem einfach nur begeistert , ein Tag ohne Wintersun ist ein verlorener .. Mein Lieblingslied ist : The Forest that weeps , Liebe Grüße aus Wien
SUOMI - The Land of Music !!
How can be something so wonderful and beautiful like this? 😭💔💙
Is not Time II...
But daaamn this album to being that goood!!!!
Guys I need help, I´m heavily addicted to this album. :-)
My favorite music to listen while sleeping
The whole album is awesome, thank you for the music! I saw the band on Brutal Assault 2017 too, and the whole gig was so professional too! I already pre-ordered the album, and now i've found it here on RUclips :D Thanks for the upload, howeverkeep supporting the bands guys! Hail Wintersun!
I love awaken from the dark slumber !!! THANKS JARI
bloody album. cried 4 times
Jesus... The Forest That Weeps is one hell of a song.
