These kinda music composers born about 1-2 in a generation, yet here in finland we have also tuomas holopainen from nightwish!! And we cant forget alexi "wildchild" laiho from c.o.b. also..(may god bless his soul) r.i.p.!! And quite a few more...you know theres something magical to be a born in northern scandinavia... northern lights ,nightless nights and neverending darkness on a long and cold winter days...these are just a few things that you can feed your creativity and turn in to a melodical masterpiece's of heavy metal music genre...norway ,sweden, finland. Several decent heavy metal bands found from around north pole, excluded section of a world's shopping and living center's
I know that Wintersun is more about mood than heaviness in their music, but I have got to say, that it is very refreshing and cathartic to hear a song just start incredibly heavy.
This is my favorite song of wintersun, it's just... it's so... aaaahhAAAAAAAA sorry I can't put into words the feelings I have towards this song, I love it too much! Thank you so much Jari

I'd go to every one of those shows if I could. :( I'll be there in spirit though, so if you start getting nervous onstage just remember I'm there for you, Jari. :)
I was twelve years old when this album came out… since then i’ve been a metal head. this was such a heavy album for the time. so technical and melodic. I‘ll always come back to listen to this banger
" 'cause days of emptiness are piercing through me like arrows. I feel nothing, but hate and love. So much fire inside, so much left undone." Those lines really hit different during these corona times. 2 years now
Battle against Seasonal Affective Disorder...just 3 months or so, the Winter Madness is starting to get to me...just glad I don't live as far north as Finland
I think Jari realised this is his Magnum Opus, too afraid to come up with something that could ever top this. I personally think this is a masterpiece, no skippers on this album. That must be a lot of pressure for him, especially considering how elitist this music genre is. I'd be happy for a proper release of Time 2 or whatever. But I suppose my grandchildren will enjoy it. Either way, Jari, I don't think you owe your fans anything. Well, maybe with the crowdfunding fiasco from a couple of years ago you do. But you know what I mean.
This is real WINTERSUN which BLEW MY MIND when i first listened to it.... Not the forest seasons.... Hope you will find the right path again . I gotta say new remixes and remasters sound pretty tight.
@@FIRChristian I could argue that I prefer Insomnium as a whole and that they actually have better songs in ways, but this is GOD TIER levels of writing
@@dylanvalorfall I'd argue they're not really comparable. Wintersun is basically folky power metal with melodeath vocals + blasting while insomnium is straight up melodeath. Both are nice in their own way imo
Not really. Not only is this a lyrical video, but it's the remastered version of the original song. It's new content that's definitely appreciated, so they're going good
day 1 of listening to BAT everyday until i finish my game. it's gonna be literally a battle against time cuz im not gonna live forever at least not in this reincarnation.
Under-rated metal song, I don't care what anyone says, their earlier material was way more metal and raw. So much more emotion that the last piece of garbage they released.
Nothing will ever top this album. And jari didn’t mix it. Sucks that he got so obsessed with mixing everything instead of writing and guitar The rage is palpable. Kai is absolutely storming on the drums. Wintersun drums were never this awesome again, absolutely not in the forest seasons, that’s for damn sure. Now it’s just decently programmed Drums whereas these were the best extreme metal drum tracks EVER And these guitar solos are absolutely the best ever. I don’t say this about any other band or album I at least wish “the way of the fire” was released as a single before they split up as that song actually matched the level of these) (it’s not official yet that wintersun is over but clearly jari is done with this) I’m happy I got to live when this was released.
The opening riff is one of the best riffs of all time
....To one of the best song known to man^^
legendary
When that male choir comes in it gives me chills.
Been a fan since the nuclear blast cd that was showcasing them came out. Between 05 and 07.
@@runswithphantoms "choir"
It's Jari and only Jari ;)
But of course several layers of him.
I will never get tired of this song. An Absolute Masterpiece!
Seriously, it's quite hard to find anything similar in terms of intensity and melody.
I was about to say exactly the same thing. One of the best songs of all time.
Good, because it will take Time 2 get some new material :-D

Elves. They are elves.
Can't wait for battle against time 3.0
And that would be The Way of the Fire.
@@Silver.Leaves5 years later, its here.
no matter that summer is coming soon and it's already warm, this song will always make me feel cold inside
Listening to this in mid January, a perfect time for band called wintersun. Of course any time is Fantastic to listen
INSANE SONG... all album are amazing... but first album is EXTREME.
Is this the most beautiful thing in life? Yes It is.
I know that Wintersun is more about mood than heaviness in their music, but I have got to say, that it is very refreshing and cathartic to hear a song just start incredibly heavy.
This is my favorite song of wintersun, it's just... it's so... aaaahhAAAAAAAA sorry I can't put into words the feelings I have towards this song, I love it too much! Thank you so much Jari
Same here! I consider this song an absolute pinnacle of metal music
That's how I feel about Loneliness (winter).
I feel the same way
Winter is coming to Sweden and Finland, and it's time to play this album a million times once again.
I am from Switzerland and I play it every morning when sun is shining on the snow
What a song, what a mix, what an album, what an artist, blessed to hear this

Nivalaan!
Any plans to come to England this year or next? :(
We want you to tour UK :D
one of the most epic metal songs ever written.
I was twelve years old when this album came out… since then i’ve been a metal head. this was such a heavy album for the time. so technical and melodic. I‘ll always come back to listen to this banger
You know something ?
This is my favourite song in all death melodic ❤
Same bro.
Absolutelly insane dude!!! awesome
Whoever made that discord tag at the sweep (1:09) made my night hahaha
" 'cause days of emptiness are piercing through me like arrows. I feel nothing, but hate and love. So much fire inside, so much left undone." Those lines really hit different during these corona times. 2 years now
Sublime!
I've heard it 1000 times 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Battle against Seasonal Affective Disorder...just 3 months or so, the Winter Madness is starting to get to me...just glad I don't live as far north as Finland
I accidentally played this video on 100% volume on my laptop. Now it has no speakers.
i'm taking this to the grave as one of the best songs ever made
Просто божественное вступление! Господи, как же это было давно, а слушается как в первый раз...
I think this album is their magnum opus. I don't really dig their newer records, but this is absolutely beautiful and dark.
I love how this songs grows.
Easily my favorite guitar riff ever. Not something I say lightly. I mean it. Fucking ever.
Aptly named, this song is my new alarm. I'm always 7 minutes late
2:06 onwards is just insane
What an absolute masterpiece. I've still yet to hear anything come close to this albums complexity
After all these years. an undiminished masterpiece it remains.
@Wintersun Jari thank you for your music. I've always relied on it when my depression and life seems like it's too much. Wintersun forever 🤘

Hope you've been enjoying TIME II by now
These comments have aged like fine blue cheese. 😊
Happy 20th Anniversary, Wintersun!!! 🤘🥳🤘
I would have been perfzctly happy if Time had been out with this sound. Imagine how many great songs we would enjoy...
i know the lyrics of this album from begining to end , its like ONE song to me , what a fucking masterpiece
JARI BEEN PUTTING IN WORK LATELY UPLOADING
Definetly one of the songs we should send out to deep space next time we are in for that
This audio quality is outstanding O__o
This song kicks serious ass. Cyborg Kai on the drums too🤘
I LOVE THIS SONG!!
This is real WINTERSUN which BLEW MY MIND when i first listened to it.... Not the forest seasons.... Hope you will find the right path again . I gotta say new remixes and remasters sound pretty tight.
Same, forest seasons don't even compare to this AT ALL
people change and so their music, is also find forest seasons hard to listen at first but now I think it has it own magic
Hail Jari mäenpää
Hail Jari maenpaa
Hail Jari Mäenpää
Hail
Hail Jari Mäenpää!
Hail Jari Mäenpää!
Missed out the ‘ooh’ at 1:57
One dislike was from Kronika even Jari wants Liu Kang to make a timeline for Wintersun
Oof that ,"Ooh!!" 😍
Rockharz it is 🤘 pretty new to the band actually but already love them, all the best
This is what I'm waiting for my personal fave!
This is still the ultimate high standard for melodeath. I aspire to some day reach this level, but it probably won't happen.
Agreed. This is as good as it has gotten so far.

@@thosko98 That's kinda wrong though. To say Insomnium isn't JUST as folky is silly. Insomnium is extremely folky and has been since album 1
@@thosko98 Yes they are different but you're wrong in stating Insomnium isn't folky
Just so fucking crispy and very well produced!
DAYUMMMM
holy shit, I love your voice... and of course all music
5/5
Battle Against Time 2, I hope someday we'll win
It I’m really the 97th comment I’m honored. Beautiful badass af album. HFS. ❤️🤘😆
5:43 My UFC entrance theme
Great!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ the best riff. And it's b!tchingly hard to play lol. Love this song
kozacko fest
day 2 of listening to BAT everyday until i finish my game.
This is great Sing!
Need you to come to Belgium! ♡
Jari is the master and king. Hey buddy. 🙃😘
Discord notification at 1:09
masterpiece!
Jari is musical Divine CONSCIOUSNESS genius. Hail ABRAXAS, battle is WON.
Кайф
The singalong parts are absolutely breathtaking, this song is designed for live shows but people want Winter Madness instead.

we can make lyrical videos by ourselves. we need HQ video debut album . Megadeth sales went up high once they started a youtube channel.remember it.
Not really. Not only is this a lyrical video, but it's the remastered version of the original song. It's new content that's definitely appreciated, so they're going good
Where is time 2
Is any difference between this and the first version?
I'm also not noticing any difference.
Giorgos Pex the solo was a lot more clear sounding to me.
If this question still applies for now, it was remastered to crank up the sound quality, more noticeable with good headphones
day 4 of listening to BAT everyday until i finish my game
My favorite Christmas song
Duming is so fuckin fast
This hella reminds me of the show VIKINGS and NORSEMEN
Alaska music, my ears in the refrigerator since 12 years ago 😂
Fckn guitar riff \,/
Fuckin A. Allright, this is about as epic as it gets.
day 1 of listening to BAT everyday until i finish my game. it's gonna be literally a battle against time cuz im not gonna live forever at least not in this reincarnation.
The intro riff is one of my favorite riffs of all time, had it on my head now for 4 days. Getting a bit annoying haha.

Snare is too low in the mix
Agree. He made it worse.
Nothing will ever top this album. And jari didn’t mix it. Sucks that he got so obsessed with mixing everything instead of writing and guitar
The rage is palpable. Kai is absolutely storming on the drums. Wintersun drums were never this awesome again, absolutely not in the forest seasons, that’s for damn sure. Now it’s just decently programmed
Drums whereas these were the best extreme metal drum tracks EVER
And these guitar solos are absolutely the best ever. I don’t say this about any other band or album
I at least wish “the way of the fire” was released as a single before they split up as that song actually matched the level of these) (it’s not official yet that wintersun is over but clearly jari is done with this)
I’m happy I got to live when this was released.
Don't assume, but I agree this is the absolute shit. Drama of other people's lives should be avoided, the music though, you are correct about.
@@Jake-sw3ss I didn't assume anything or talk about drama. what are you talking about
Is Jari DJ now?
Much better than all of Time I and II.
Lyrics display not very well suitable for mobiles!
Lmao lyric video
The vocals are mixed in like trash. So muddy
day 3 of listening to BAT everyday until i finish my game.
You stopped at day 4 🤣
